A poem from my new book on sobriety, alcohol addiction, and how we view alcohol in society…
Spirits Sold right here What they want you to believe Like it’s something you can buy Your one stop shop For connection to the divine A lie told so many times We don’t stop to think Just drink, drink, drink, Drink away our spirit more Our soul Our love Our light We hold that bottle tight Thinking we’ll find it all there They told us that So it must be true, right? Ignoring Every morning When we wake up Destroyed Crumbled Black and blue How many lies Do we need to undo To uncover Our true Spirits
I said I was going to quit so many mornings but never did anything different. Drinking was going to kill me but I couldn’t stop. I needed to change my brain. I decided I would change the way I thought about drinking by reading sober and alcohol free writings and blogs every morning. By surrounding myself with different information, I completely changed the way I thought about and dealt with alcohol addiction. I learned how to change my habits, I learned how to think differently about self-care, and I took a real look at how I treated myself. I started to see alcohol for the poison that it is. My personal reality changed by reading the stories of others. Now I share my own stories here to help others and to continue the healing.
