Drinker

Drinker

 

In another life

I acted out when I imbibed

Though the act was self-defeating

No matter the booze I was drinking

 

For a remedy I sought

In a big book that I bought

And I found the greatest help

With my struggle with myself

 

And happily I have found

I am the talk of the town

With the rumor that I now

Believe in a higher power somehow

 

And my heart is new

Since I gave up the booze

With my wrongs duly righted

With amends to those I slighted

 

Now sober I am better

And live my life free and unfettered

With no liquor that I want

Or other drug to rule and haunt

      Good write, I am glad that you have overcome your drinking problems, somebody I know had a serious problem and has now been drink free for nearly a year and a half.

      Alcohol really used to be a problem for me. I chose to get sober when I got engaged to be married. That marriage failed, but with the help of a higher power, I've been able to stay away from the booze. I appreciate your support of the poem.
