Thanks Instant, I sing it in the car at the top of my voice on the way to work. Gets me some funny looks. lol

There was once a lady named Grace
Who drank wine till she fell on her face
Straight from the bottle she'd swig
Not giving a fig
But now she's slowed down the pace.

The wine's down the drain
Washed away by the rain
This new person is me
and I've everything to gain

Gx

Whenever my drinking was atrocious
Many found me somewhat ferocious
But now that I’m sober
The ranting is over
There's no more emotional scoliosis


Ho Ho

Now that the fogginess cleared
And all of my issues have reared,
I see how my drinking
Had messed with my thinking
Cause nothing's as bad as I'd feared.

Ha ha. I love these. Heres another

I used to drink too much wine
I thought it made me slicker
I hid the bottles everywhere
Even in my knicker

But that wine got a grip of me
i couldn't let it go
It turned me into someone else
Someone I didn't know

Those dark days are now gone
And I'm happier drinking water
My life is good and I am happy
I'm a nan. a mum, a daughter.

Gxx

Mouse in the house, I need to fix that
Rain missed the drain, is there an ap for that?
broken all the time
These problems of wine
Shatters my pride, but I will fix that.

Cravings cravings go away
Fade now for the day
Not sad
But glad
To be sober all the way.

That was fun!
Y'all who done one
Did real good
And maybe should
Take another run.

Stop it now
Not me, the cow
He likes to rhyme
All the time
Drives me crazy, and how!

So many gifts from sobriety,
That I can hardly believe it's me.
So what's in store?
Could there be more?
Each day, I cannot wait to see!

Eight months booze free

that SR offered me

Eight months sober is she!
From drinking she is free...
Karilyn rocks.
She needs no detox.
She paves the way for me!

There was an ex~drinker, E. Q.,
Whose days in sobriety grew.
Didnt think she could do it,
Yet be~fore she knew it,
Her life started feeling brand NEW!

One day in April, I decided to be free..
Alcohol free, I chose to be...
A few days have gone by,
I continue to try...
No booze for me is there to be.

I poured, I did not measure.
I thought it gave me pleasure.
I looked in wrong places.
My peace ~ and good graces~
Live inside sobriety's treasure!

I do not understand it.
Quitting? I hadn't planned it.
Drinking was tragic.
And sobriety's magic!
Before, how did I stand it?

Imagine my surprise
when I opened up my eyes
sat straight up in bed
you're an alcoholic, I said
Oh, so many lies

I woke up today
In bed I did not stay
No hangover for me
I feel happy, joyous and free
As long as, from alcohol, I stay away

The old dog for sure knew his hops
and a few of the refined local cops
his name was keg
and stood on one leg
at the bar licking his chops

"there's that beauty of mine"
Kegger whistled each time
"I truly love thee"
"my one and only"
"sumptuous, alluring, sublime"

not like his wife who left long ago
or the boss he used to know
a smooth lather
made his heart patter
as he quickly washed down their sorrow.

he would grin and chat with the folk
totally loved any clean or dirty joke
and with dry mustache
he laid down cash
but could not believe when the barman spoke

listen Keg, you've got to go home
the bar is closing and you'll be alone
there is no more
so head for the door
and count the footsteps of a life to atone

where did the fun stop where did it end?
this road must have had one last bend
with a cost
of being lost
and my beauty and laughter all pretend

Keg knew in his heart something was needed
and at this point any exchange would be conceded
for a new way of seeing
past his empty being
and to be lead back home by one who succeeded

the old dog for sure knew his hops
but now knows it never stops
his name is now Andy
what it used to be
and he stands on two legs proud to be called Pops.
