Go to a meeting, open your ears, and not your mouth,

we make all kinds of excuses why we drink, because of this, because of that, we drink, because we're drunks nothing else,

The old timers didn't sugar coat anything when I got sober,

It's easy, but not simple, don't drink, go to meetings, and talk to some old timers

Oh I forgot I've been sober 30 years, It's worked for me

This is the kind of over-simplification that AA throws around that is dangerous. Say a person was dealing with clinical depression and turns to drinking to cope, there might be more to deal with than just "you're a drunk".
