After many years of draining a bottle,
Quit feeling like some scraped off dottle.
A desire to wake up sober and alert,
Feeling alive, not in a short spurt.
The sun rose brighter, the air cleaner,
The sky bluer, grass seemed greener.
Finally reached a point of self satisfaction,
Noticed getting more positive reaction.
Daily goals seemed more attainable,
While negative feelings grew less sustainable.
Life became more enjoyable,
Work started being more employble.
Kids started paying more attention,
Remembering thoughts
with better retention.
Going sober was the good for the soul,
Staying sober is the long term goal.
Finding a better position in life,
Better than always having full time strife.
