I I found it hard to exacute this poem
As I am sitting here at My home
Playing my Xbox driving like crazy
Wishing I was actually driving miss daisy
Refraining from that booze One day at a time
At least I\'m not out commiting any crimes
My puppy \'Ginger\' right by my side
She\'s like the kid knowing that daddy has All that pride
Not only sobriety that I have gained
But its my Life that I have maintained
Maintenance is the key to keep me in check
I can\'t just say I\'ll just have one what the Heck
I still have to be aware of my surroundings
Like the places I\'d go to do my pounding
The pounding of booze all Day long
With tears in my beer with every song,don\'t get me wrong staying sober at first was very hard
Now I\'m careful not to play that card
I still don\'t have a license or a car
But you won\'t catch me in any bar
Whomever reads this poem take as you will
It\'s been eight 🎱 years and I\'m no longer ill
So if you have a drinking problem that goes on All The day
I also had the same but thanks to AA
So swallow your pride and just say no
Cuz after a meeting or two it\'s the place to go
But whatever you do don\'t pick up that drink 🍻
Instead attend a meeting give yourself time to think
Meditation walking and reading your book 📖
Before you know it you\'ll become hooked
But in the end do it for yourself
Love you and not what\'s on the shelf
I\'ll end my poem and bring it to a halt
Take these words with a grain of salt 🧂
