One Day At a Time

My name is Joe Hawk and I'm a recovered alcoholic

And I'm not the kind of guy you can tell. to. go as long as you want

For me to stand here tonight and say that I am 20

That I am well into my 21st year, and I live with an unmanageable life, that I am powerless

And that I can justify all kinds of things because I am a powerless alcoholic with an unmanageable life would not be anything attractive for somebody sitting here

Something came between me and alcohol

More than 20 years ago, August 17th, 1982, and that, whatever it is has been there ever since

And I do not live an unmanageable life

If I do some stupid thing, it's not because I'm an alcoholic anymore
