Life is sweeter sober
No hangover
No general malaise
Feel motivated not lazy
Ready to put power into my days
‘Cos I want them to be impactful
Rather than just fade

Feels like I’m at a party
Where AF punch is being made
Like a little kid in a sweet shop
Where lots of sober treats are laid

I might want the lot!

And food tastes much better too
My tastebuds are happier sober
What about you?

My gift to myself today
Is a crazy, contented sober birthday
I’m beginning to see it’s all true what they say

Life is just sweeter with booze out of the way
It doesn’t have to be extraordinary
Just a beautiful new normality
I didn’t see it before but I’m seeing it now
Life just has more colour somehow

Wonder what your sober joy’s would be?

Here’s some of mine:

• Clean teeth, fresh breath
• Enough quality sleep
• Always ready for a hug
• More motivated at work
• Remember conversations and they are more meaningful
• When I flirt with my husband I won’t be a drunken mess
• Did I mention food tastes better ?!
• Feeling calmer and capable
• I can find a map out of the overwhelm maze not get stuck there
• More organised which makes me feel calmer
• No FOMO, atm anyway, not one bit
• I can give away a bottle of wine and not have anymore in the house and feel relieved and smile
• Feeling like a weight has been lifted
• Just fcuking happier!

PS. Not stamping my feet anymore but punching the air! 👊😃❤🤷♀️🥰🌤🙃

I am There Now

I am there now
I want to be a happy non drinker
Not a frustrated, upset, wine time thinker

I woke up this morning with a clear head and
For me personally it’s time to take a stand
I’m kicking alcohol out of my life for good

With booze we always, always lose
It’s a mugs game
A cycle of brief relief then shame and pain
Then the cravings hit and it starts again

Chasing, chasing, forever chasing a feeling
Always just out of my grasp

I don’t want to live my life in chains
I want to be free
And learn to handle it when it rains
Just as Me

I want real fun, joy and laughter
And happy times I want to remember the day after

I know which bridge I want to burn now
And with Boom I’m still busy learning the how

It’s not such a scary decision to make
When you realise everything about alcohol is fake

And exactly what it could eventually take
