Sunset at the Marsh
Sitting here at almost 4 pm on the 4th day of the longest stretch I've been sober in, aw, 'bout 30 years, I guess. Ohhhh, that 4 o'clock is calling me, calling me, calling meeeeeeeeee…….
But nope. Just gotta keep those buttocks in the chair.
Hangin' on by a hair.
Didn't sweat the sheets thru last night,
but my hair's a fright.
Forgot to brush it today - the fog got in the way.
The fog, oh the fog.
Standing in the dollar store, staring at the toilet paper. Just staring, feeling light in my head, or stoned.
But I didn't ingest that 5 year old stuff sitting the drawer, although maybe I oughter
Can't, though, neighbor's got a nose
long as Pinocchio's.
She be tellin' all the hood
I an't any good.
"Oh do you know what's going on over there!
The smell, I SWEAR!"
Now looking at the posts on here, I remember I'm codependent, too.
What a marshy stew!
What to Do?
Before I'm 62!?

Well hang in there. If you are ready for a change then make it! Nothing changes if we don't change. I enjoy this site and going to A.A. as well. I used to have that terminal uniqueness... thought I was the only one struggling with alcohol... but I wasn't and you aren't either, no matter what your addiction. Get off of that chair and get to a meeting, or call a friend or keep reading here! You can do it!

No roll in the hay
