Why Try Dry January
It’s dark, it has been a strange Christmas, but most people will have tried to make the best of it, as we do because of the human spirit. But what about the spirits and other booze that have still been available? It has of course never gone away, and with relaxation of Covid rules and perhaps complacency, I wanted to share a Poem of why I think you should give Dry January a blast:
Dry January
Tis the end of the season and it hasn’t been dry
I have ate, drank, was merry but certainly not shy
My body is aching, there’s not long to go
But my liver is dreading it, I heard it say … oh God no!
If I had the choice I’d give New Years a miss
I just cant believe all I’ve done is get ….. drunk
There’s been family and friends but always so unstable
To think there’s no wonder with booze, the head of the table
But how come this liquid does play such a role
It’s almost as if society has handed over control
On billboards, TV & conversations you just cannot ignore
Can it and should it be this normalised, I cant take anymore
The more I think on, I fear we have it all wrong
Society has us believing without alcohol there just is no fun
But my body says otherwise, I ache, I feel knackered
I’m full of remorse and my family, well shattered
All the signs they are pointing to a change in the making
I know that its alcohol, this time there’s no faking
Something has to be done, but how long and how fast
Just one day at a time and start by giving Dry January a blast!
