I made a decision a long time ago. And I looked at Lena and I looked at Margaret and I amounted to nothing with my life, really. And I said it down behind the headstone and I looked up to the heavens I said the step seven prayer and I said God please remind me that I'm doing this it's a long life please remind me that I've done this and I've offered myself to you and I never want to drink again please God let this be true and I got up from that graveyard and I walked out it was a sunny day and I walked down the road and you know what? There was nothing in my head when I wasn't talking. That's what they talk about when they say there's peace of mind. Peace of mind is the prize in AA.
