Evicting the Wine Witch :
Get away from victim mentality
It curbs authenticity
Gives the Wine Witch
permission and authority
To try to ruin your life, oh boy
Do you want to hand over your capacity for joy?
To someone who doesn’t care
Delights when you despair in
misery
It’s not easy to see
What a slippery slope
Wine can be
It crept up on me
It made the wine witch very happy, not so much me
I know
There is another way though
A much more productive
Way to live
As to the wine witch?
you can remove her power
Shower her with disdain
Make it rain on HER dreams,
reduce her allure
Wine isn’t the cure
The magic is within all of us
It’s the inner strength we all possess
Once you find it
and access it
You’ll accept nothing less
Than how you should be treated
You’ll less likely be defeated
This you’ll be able
to slowly recognise and tell
And then the wine witch?
well
She can go to hell!

Ganging up Against the Alcohol Terrorist :
My Nemesis was the alcohol terrorist
There isn’t a party he’d have missed
But then there was always an excuse
To bring him along & all let loose
Seemed like a great idea at the time
He promised all would be just fine
Just 2 my dear , don’t be a bore
Next thing I remember I’m on the floor
The morning after he’s gone & I’m left
To mop up the chaos, feeling bereft
The guilt and shame I’ll never forget
The blackouts, scars , hate & regret
The stony silence from the love of my life
This terrorist made me a deceitful wife
Join us today in refusing to go
To that party that took us lower than low ….
