MY First Alcohol-Free Holiday :
Eek, what to expect
Does anyone else feel this way?
Booked an all inclusive stay
But not going to let my resolve be swayed
So I’ll quickly list the benefits I see
Of being alcohol-free:
I won’t dehydrate
Won’t get up too late
To enjoy the day
I’ll jump in the pool
With my active, adventurous children I’ll want to play
I’ll have fun and laugh at my husband’s bad jokes
And now I no longer drink or smoke
I’ll try and be happy about it, relaxing, sitting
Watching others go about their business
Drinking this
or sipping that
I’m working on it becoming a fact
That I’m not wishing to do the same
It’s changing, the game
It’s a surprise but I like living an AF way
I wake up every day feeling glad to be sober
And hangover-less
I feel so okay and that’s priceless
Living with real intention
Requiring no intervention
A week AF away means
Tasty mocktails
No drunk fails
No eating rubbish all day
Just to make the giant headache go away
No wasted precious days
Lots of walks on the beach
Sand in my toes
Great holiday memories
Alcohol could have ruined those
Lots of icecream with no guilty feelings
After all a wise lady I know said ice cream is healing 😉
Where you seek to capture a moment forever (in your mind)
Choosing alcohol-free in my view is clever
And really being present, it’s special
Like discovering buried treasure
