Sobriety

How you acquired your soberness,
 is a fantastic thing…

To go without hesitation and guarding
 yourself from want, this isn’t as easy 
as one might think…

I am sure of this, as I hear this from you, 
that you have been sober for a year, 
and you will not have any problem,
 or regret to continue this great treasure, 
for it is a treasure and accomplishment…

If there was a medal of honor to be given, 
one should be given to those of sobriety, 
for this accomplishment is something,
 that is good for you, your body, your soul,
your love ones, family, and friends that care…

Three million cheers for a job well done… 

To Sobriety!
