BOOM ! Rethink the Drink
Ok so sometimes life is shit
There’s no denying it
But by being sober
We learn to live in the chaos
And make sense of it
We find we are stronger
We can help others for longer
Instead of just focusing on ourself
Leaving their needs on the shelf
We can bolster the self worth of others
We can be better friends, lovers, fathers, mothers
We can learn to rely
on our hard earned resilience
That is to be honest
a source of brilliance
Through our sober skills we’ll
Learn to cope
Not sit around and mope
Grabbing the best in life that’s available
Feeling free, fulfilled and able
Emotions are transient like clouds in the sky
They don’t last forever, they float on by
Irritation, anger, loneliness
They stem from thoughts, they aren’t us
We don’t need to hang onto those feelings
We can accept and let them go as a way of healing
We have hundreds of emotions during each day
Don’t let one of those make you lose your way.
Between thoughts and triggers we can recognize the link
And choose to Rethink The Drink!
