Recovery_Haiku_/_Please_join_in

I’m feeling a bit off today, so instead of my normal "I'm having a tough day!" posts, thought I’d try something new.

Please join in and create a recovery Haiku!

A haiku is a non-rhymed verse genre. There are 5 syllables in the first sentence, 7 in the second and 5 again in the last sentence.


(my attempt)
Spent most of my life
In silly smile and fog, oh…
my! Ego brings pain.

No control - that's me.
Gave up trying to be smart.
I found my answer.

A psychic change is needed,
they exclaimed to me!

I do not get it!
Let your sponsor show you how,
work the steps with them

I am not sure though
Cannot i just join a gym
and read some good books?

No that will not work
Insanity is your cross
Your thinking is screwed

You stand on a road
With different routes to go
Choose wisely my friend!

So which way is it?
Will it be sobriety?
Or to end up ******!

Thumbs up

Hooked me in with the poetry thing... let me give it a try:

Its been two years now
Since the day I lost my love
Clean today again




I will have four months clean on the 10th. I had 15 years sobriety when grief took me out. Was not worth the research, and never really grieved while self-medicating/diverting my attention from the task at hand. Played a bad game: "Can't beat 'em join 'em".... threw the pieces of that sucker away!!

A Haiku's beauty
Is in its simplicity
More is said with less

Liquor seduces.
Dynamite in a bottle.
Goodbye, forever.

What's impossible?
Could it be just possibly?
I will recover.

Addicts everywhere,
about to fall. Hope is here
and freedom's calling.

Alcohol relapse,
Honesty has taken flight.
Sicker than a dog.

My inventory,
seems impossible to do.
Honesty is key.

My dog is happy
That I take her for a walk
Instead of drinking.
