WINE IS A MOCKER

I drank for happiness and became unhappy.
I drank for joy and became miserable.
I drank for sociability and became argumentative.
I drank for sophistication and became obnoxious.
I drank for sleep and woke up tired.
I drank for strength and felt weak.
I drank for relaxation and got the shakes.
I drank to make conversation easier and slurred my speech.
I drank for confidence and became doubtful.
I drank for courage and became afraid.

from a former Alcoholic

"Wine is a mocker, strong drink is a brawler, and whoever is led astray by it is not wise" (Prov. 20:1).
