Don't want to do too many poems about no longer drinking,
But the sole subject of alcohol really got me thinking.
Was it legalised to keep most of the masses subdued?
I'm going to be 12 months sober next Monday dude.
Wonder what happens when I black out but know deep down,
Spirits would take over and turn me into an angry clown.
Can't be bothered, don't even really go out socially now,
Wonder how I used to knock those pints back so quickly? -Wow!

Congratulations on your anniversary and conquest over alcohol. Well done
Appreciate it.
Most welcome
Yes, alcohol will lift you up, throw you down, spin you all around.
We all think we're in control of it, but in reality, it controls us.
Congrats on 12 months sobar.
Exactly, it does/
Shaun...twelve months next Monday is fucking huge. Come celebrate your soberversary with "Devilishly Dreadful"...drops Monday...I'll provide the ghosts, the murder, the mystery, and absolutely no pints to keep our souls singing and our sharp minds sharper. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
