My 8year soberity poem 🍻

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 🧂
