the challenge of sobriety
which I took
and take every day
Every hour, minute, second
It was tough, hard
But I am doing it
will I stay sober forever
I don't know
Do I want to stay sober for ever
Yes I do
Those were days of drinking
I was drinking at life
At my loneliness
To party alone
To get spice in life
Thought it was cool thing to do
Life's had its issues
Challenges and troubles
So many people came in my life
And left me. .
Some stayed on but
Then I deserted them
One thing that stayed on with me
Was AL. My partner in every moment.
2 yeas ago I deserted AL too
Left it high and dry
unlike others I felt good this time
sense and feeling of doing something right
But I am weird
Some people say I am crazy
Shave my head to stay bald
Listen to old music in new times
Prefer being with myself
Being alone for so long
crazy enough to to cycle
Even after a broken leg
Working hard even though
It now what I want to do
And lastly
Saying no to drink ...
I don't care what others think
I don't care what people say
I don't worry
But I do think
A lot ..
about life ...
Reborn, grateful as I feel everyday
Every moment
Since I left AL
I thank all you here at MWO
Where I vented a lot
where I learned a lot
made new friends
Whom helped me
without no self motive
How life today is different
What used to be a daily drinking
Daily collapsing on bed
Is today ...
Bed time stories for kids
Thrill with early morning cycling
I celebrate 2 years at MWO
Where I logged in first
about 3 years back
And about an year of trying
I managed 2 years
I am still here
Still trying
Still saying no to all
Its easier now then before ...
Did I moderated with drinking
Yes I tried ...
And failed ...
Again and again ...
But I found peace in complete abstinence
That's the way ...
Only way ...
