Dear Alcohol We're Through A Poetic Homage to Sober

I love being sober because :
Without alcohol in my life
I am less stressed
I have a lot more energy
I am more patient with my kids
I am funnier
There’s a lot less drama in my life and in my head
My thoughts are finally positives
I am more productive
My head isn’t fuzzy for days from drinking
I’m nicer
I’m more consistent
Even when driving to school in rubbish weather
I feel glad I’m clear headed and not hungover
I can be bothered
And the list goes on and on.

Dear alcohol,

You give me very few things of benefit
A brief chilled out feeling
But it disappears all too quick

I run after it
Faster and Faster
But then it makes me feel sick
It becomes a disaster
There’s no point denying
that you’re the real master

You hurt me
Humiliate me
Over
and
over

I can’t get my balance
I always fall over

Why do I keep on wanting to go back?
I know sooner or later
That you’ll attack!

You’ll damage my body
You’ll damage my mind
I’m sure I’ll find
No peace anymore
It’s you I’m trying so hard to abhor!

And I’m going to keep on trying
Until I just don’t want you anymore

Your power is certainly very scary
But I’ll turn it to my advantage you see
And use it to strengthen my resolve really

Until the winner of our fight
Is me, hopefully x

Don’t cuddle yourself
In the chaos of wine
It’s grip will get tighter and tighter
Over time

Things I love about being sober :
Without alcohol in my life
I can drive anytime of the day 🏋🏼‍♂️
I can remember everything 🤸🏼‍♀️
I am calmer & less anxious 🦁
My conscience is clear ✨
I’m never nauseous 🤮
I’ve lost weight 🙌🏼
I sleep soooo well 🛌

Things I Love About Being Sober:
Without Alcohol in my Life
I am now in control of my mood and life
I love looking after my physical and emotional health
I love the sleep and not having to wonder
if I did anything stupid last night.
I don’t have regrets
I don’t feel disgusted with myself
And I’ve saved the environmental waste of thousands of bottles!
