Handling What Comes – Day 4 Sober

Today our online community platform crashed. It can be quite unsettling when you go to open the support network you depend on every day and it is suddenly not there. These things do happen. Computer servers have a tendency to go down, technical glitches occur and re-occur, but luckily there are a plethora of options out there and even the worst crash can have a quick solution if you have a cool head. The best thing about being almost 2,000 days sober is that a cool head becomes the norm. Here are some thoughts on keeping a cool head on day 4 sober from one of our BOOM Rethink the Drink community members.
Day 4 Sober
Worried about things
Will they be okay
Hopefully but whoโs to say
Reality check on the way
Donโt want to waste another day
No matter the feeling
Iโll sit with it
Because to numb our emotions
Numbs everything doesnโt it
A life running on 50% battery
How can that be the best for me?
Itโs a waste of time
All for the addictive taste of wine
When without it I can be
Alert, happy, fine
Alcohol doesnโt belong in my body
Like a morphine drip
Itโs effects are harmful and shoddy
Makes life a wasted trip
I want to bleed, I want to feel, hurt, get angry, be loved and happy
I want my life to be the real deal
Just need to be brave enough to try
To wave goodbye to toxic booze
Life on lifeโs terms
Gotta take the rough with the smooth
And be grateful life exists at all I think
Not throw it away for a drink

But we won’t invite the Wine Witch in because she brings sress and Misery
Saturday Wine Witch Misery
She says โErm excuse me please
Itโs Saturday night time for wine
Arenโt you forgetting something?โ
We donโt do that anymore i say
WW: โButโฆโฆitโs the weekendโฆ.and itโs Saturdayโ
Well Iโm changing the channel
Itโs been a week
WW: โWell you wonโt get any pleasure in alternatives you seek
And what about all the current worries on your mind
A bowl or 2 of choco hoops wonโt be as kind
Whereas I have the cure all
Admit it
Donโt I?
I soothe your brow when you want to cry!โ
Well letโs see now you also lie badly
Repeatedly it seems to me
WW: โAre you sure
Do I?
At least I always make you feel better right?โ
Well now that you mention it
You ruin it each time
And If when Iโm mad I have a glass of wine
I feel much worse
The thing is WW Iโm not the one thatโs cursed
You are
Destined to bring misery to all near and far
And though some wine appeals at the moment and looks nice
Itโs still a toxic, life destroying vice
I was sober 6 months
Iโm gonna do that twice
Thatโs my intention
So I might as well show you
I might as well mention
That I have the power to remove my attention
Whenever I agree with you
I always end up back here
Itโs not worth my health and time
To waste it on wine
Just so weโre clear
YOU ARENโT WELCOME HERE!
Though at the moment youโre shouting
And itโs barely a whisper
I can still hear my heart voice saying
โI want to be a non drinkerโ
