Song Day- So Into You by Atlanta Rhythm Section

Today's song is about the attitude of most alcoholics/drug addicts; even after coming into recovery. Any honest alcoholic/addict (in a recovery program such as ETA and who has worked the steps with a sponsor- there is no such thing as an honest boozer and/or user in active addiction) will tell you that it is a hard viewpoint to change and can take a long time. Any honest alcoholic/addict will tell you that this attitude is impossible to completely eradicate, 100% of the time, forever and ever, amen.

Since self focus seems like it's going to be with me (in some form or another) for the duration, I might as well poke fun at it. Still, I have to laugh to myself whenever I'm in an ETA meeting and someone says, "The newcomer is the most important person at the meeting." I can't help but wonder how many of those present follow that statement up with thinking, "Well, except me."

Here is the song. As usual, my changes are in caps.


So Into You by Atlanta Rhythm Section

When I walked into the room

There was voodoo in the vibes
I was captured by MY style
But I could not catch your eyes
Now I stand here helplessly
Hoping you'll get into me

I am so into ME
I can't think of nothing else
I am so into ME
I can't think of nothing else

Thinking how it's going to be
Whenever I get you next to me
It's gonna be good, dont you know
From MY head to MY toe
Gonna love ME all over, over and over
Me into ME, you into me, me into ME

I am so into ME
I am so into ME, ooh

When I walked into the room
There was voodoo in the vibes
I was captured by MY style
But I could not catch your eyes
Now I stand here helplessly
Hoping you'll get into me

I am so into ME
I can't get to nothing else
I am so into ME baby
I can't get to nothing else
No no no come on baby
I am so into ME
YOU love the things I do

Listen baby
Driving me crazy, oooh
Come on baby, oo-ooh
I am so into ME
YOU love the things I do
Come on baby
I am so into ME (x3)

Have a good and sober day.

  2. I have often wondered why alcoholics are so selfish and self-centered. It truly is amazing that most seem to see themselves as so very interesting.

  3. I believe there is an alias for addiction. I call it: The disease of lies and distorted perception. We cannot discern the true from the false and believe ourselves to be unique. Well, except me....
