Lyrics:- 'Don't want to break her crown'
- Ocasek
Song Choice:- 'Let's Go' was the
first single from The Cars' second studio album Candy-O. It was
released in 1979 on Elektra Records and written by Ric
Ocasek. It features lead vocals by the brilliant, Cars bassist Benjamin
Orr who sadly died in 2000, from Pancreatic Cancer. Take a listen for
yourself here.
On a day of celebration for two of my
clients passing alcohol milestones of 100 days and six months, I found that one
of our family friends is struggling with alcohol addiction and will start day
one of a new life, alcohol-free, tomorrow.
It's a bittersweet world in Coleman
Coaching sometimes, however I feel very privileged that folk let me
into their lives, especially in moments when the brown-stuff
is hitting the preverbal fan. Hearing their news today, makes
all the hard work worth it and it always gets me thinking about my own
predicament.
What I do know is that be it 1, 100, 180
or even 8,309 days of sobriety...tomorrow is a new day for all of us and that
we are all one step from disaster if drinking alcohol, is our Achilles Heel, or
even our Achilles Hell, as my fat-fingered typing spelt first-time.
As I remember, getting that first
few days under my belt provided a brilliant springboard to keep
the sobriety flame going. Sadly, sometimes, it takes a few go's to get the
fire burning bright. It did for me and I'm never one to condemn folk
that crack under pressure - I certainly didn't break anyone's crown today.
