The Sacrifice

I know my weaknesses, 

I know how weak I can get,

I know which temptations

Cause the greatest conflict,

I know the vices that have resulted in my biggest woes,

And I know what I must sacrifice in order to be whole,

I know that one drink is fine and I’ve reached my limit by drink three,

I know what more than two drinks can possibly do to me, 

An once I was aware of feelings that I seek

I started working to achieve it without a single drink,

But it’s take more of the work that I started long ago,

The kind of work that can’t be avoided once we know,

Once we know our weakness and how weak we can get,

Which temptations cause the greatest conflict,

So what must you sacrifice? 

What must you let go?

What is that thing you know, you know, you know? 

What is that thing that has caused your biggest woes?

What must you sacrifice in order to be whole?
