Dear Alcohol,

I am a winner, I am strong.
You've won some battles, but I'll fight you long.

I once thought that you were great,
now it is you, that I truly hate.

I've come along way in this short period of time,
My mind is clear, my vision has climbed.

I do not regret befriending you,
it has inspired me and others to make ourselves new.

I'm leaving you forever, I have no other choice,
I hope you can hear me for now I have my voice.

I am saying it loudly, I'm saying it clear,
I know you can see, that I have no fear.

I am a fighter, always have and always will be,
I will fight you daily and soon it will be easy.

I will struggle and I will fall,
but you won't be there when I call.

You thought you had me in your clench,
maybe you did, you dirty wrench.

Well, I have woken and I have risen,
You no longer have the key to my prison.

I am free and I am alive,
Without you, I'll truly strive.

Today is great, my future bright,
I've flipped the switch and can see the light.

So in this game called life,
I have left you behind and will focus on my wife.

I love her deeply, I need to show,
you are gone forever, and she will know.

She is my everything, through and through,
Now go on, I am so done with you.
