U Under the duvet, feeling coated in mould

R Realising the alcohol lies you’ve been sold

B Because it can get a bit tiring

E Eventually

A Alcohol doesn’t reward you in it’s

U Usual way

T The buzz disappears almost instantly today

I In fact it’s becoming a task or a chore

F Faced with the job of trying to find more

U Until regarding fun there just is none

L Like the drink has a will of its own

L Looking inside however

I It’s clear we don’t need booze to live a

F Fulfilling happy life

E Ethanol takes your spirit to perpetuate its own

S Sober offers what alcohol promised

T That’s the truth

A And it’s so

R Rewarding

T To test this theory just ask

S Someone who is long term sober

N Notice how they don’t romanticize

O Once about alcohol or not much at all

W Why would they when they are living a life that’s happy and full?

Swap bottles full of bull for a life fun and full?

Don’t lose hope ❤

When it’s getting too much
Thoughts reaching meltdown status
Just know booze can’t help or save us

We have to do it ourselves
Gently, methodically
To gain back equilibrium
Protect your sobriety
Look inside, look within

When we can’t control outside events
When nothing anymore seems to make sense
Inside is where our healing lies

We need to be compassionate and kind
And I’m not suggesting we close our mind
But we need to be able to still enjoy our lives
It’s not all doom and gloom
If we look for the helpers
We’ll find them too

List 10 things now you are grateful about
And don’t be afraid to shout them out
When we focus on the good
The good gets better

You’re allowed to smile and enjoy your day
It builds resilience too they say
If you can remain calm
And master your emotions
You’ll know you don’t need a toxic potion

The world is sometimes toxic enough
I’m going to try and fill mine with more love

If we focus on the tragedy, horror and evil in the world too much
We’ll forget there is also goodness, love and heroism too.

I know we’re supposed to be selfless but I’m putting my oxygen mask on first

This month I want to focus on me
I mean we give so much to everyone
I want this month for me
Just one
