Don’t fight!
Don’t take the bate!
I yell at my dogs
My husband’s snarky
I get barky
So what!

My cortisol level is up
My immune system down
I shop for dopamine
Run all around town
What to do, what to do?

Stop fighting everything
Stop taking the drink
Surrender my will to my One
Peace is just around the corner
Sobriety and serenity are mine
Victory!
