Sobriety Limericks Part 6
Sobriety Limericks Part 6
I hope all my pals find their way
To the new thread Dee started today
It would be a to do
With out snoozyQ
Ippy and EQ light the way
DG and Carlos must know
That we've moved rooms so to grow
Bloss and Stairs
can't remain unawares
I hope lilac knows where to show.
A darker place SR would be
With out our small rhyming party
Happy or sad
Being here makes us glad
Can someone go round up itchy!!

A new thread to post
What bothers me the most
But also to say
How I've grown day by day
I'm working really hard
In order to bad habits discard
Trying to learn better ways to think
Without turning to the drugs and to drink
Sometimes it seems like there is so much more to learn
Recovery isn't given, it's something we have to earn
Quitting wasn't the hardest part
Learning to live again is the art
Learning when to give and when to hold back
Sometimes I feel like against me the cards are stacked
But I'm sure that's just in my mind
And I need not think thoughts of that kind
Sometimes I feel like a yo-yo:
up and down and up and down
So I just try to go with the flow
As the currents toss me around
So many ways I'm trying to grow
Learning when to say yes and when to say no
This isn't always easy
Some parts just aren't breezy
But the journey is worth it
I just have to take it bit by bit
No point in throwing a fit
Just like when we were in school
If we don't learn the lesson or the rule
Life will hold us back
Till we learn what we lack
Sometimes I can be pretty slow
To learn what I need to know
It can feel like bad luck
Being stuck in the muck
But there's a reason for it all
A lesson, big or small
The lesson will repeat until
I get it down well
What bothers me the most
But also to say
How I've grown day by day
I'm working really hard

I went to a meeting
The first one ever.
There was plenty of seating.
I felt scared, in a fever.
Woman came and hugged me,
A man shook my hand.
One sweet gal brought her baby
And they made not one demand.
The topic, unique-ness
I found that I'm not.
I did not talk, I confess,
I listened hard, and I bought.
I'll go again, I'm sure.
Brighter day this one.
I am looking for a cure?
I know I'll never be done.
Really it was good for me!
Thanks, for your support everyone.

Elsie I just have to say
How courageous, you first meet AA
We all need to find
A space to unwind
And others who see things our way
Here it is great, that I know
It's the only place I want to go
But a physical smile
To say 'you're worthwhile'
I know at a meet I would show
Well done Elsie, anything that helps us along the road. Xx

DG 300 days for you
No blasé woop the doo
For you do rock it girlfriend
Sobriety is THE new trend
your journal is inspiring others
Bring them out from under the covers
Looking down the barrel 1 year
You have nothing left to fear
Striving with tenacity
At who you really want to be
A drummer girl sober now
DG you rock take a bow

abcowboy, welcome to the limerick thread!! (Although, any poetry (or not poetry too) is allowed). Some of mine are better than others so don't expect the rest of them to be any good!! I post them even if they suck though cause it's all about having fun and expressing ourselves.
It's been kind of a hard day
But I'm getting better at letting things go
I don't have to let anyone get in my way
They can dump their trash
I don't have to make it my own
They might decide to lash (out)
That doesn't mean I have to take the blow
I can step aside or duck
I don't have to stand there
If another doesn't play fair
I admit that when things get really rough
AV takes the chance to speak up
'Wouldn't it be nice just to escape?'
It whispers in my ear
But I know that it lies
And wants to lead me to my demise
So I'll just pretend as though I don't hear
I've come to far
To give up now
I'll keep my self respect
Squash AV like an insect
Turn to my trusted limerick friends
Pour out my soul and hit send
I'm learning to move on faster
When he starts acting like a f*ing bast*rd
It was nothing that I did
To make him blow his lid
I don't care to be around
To be his emotional dumping ground
So I'll take care of me
Write a poem and drink some coffee
I'll take a moment to remember
How long it's been since I went on a bender
How I no longer turn to drugs
Or to beer in a mug
I have a lot to be thankful for
So be an a$$- I'll just slam the door
I'm not the victim I once was
I won't go get high or search for a buzz
I won't lie down like a mat on the floor
I'll get up and walk away
Go enjoy the rest of my day
It's my life to make
I don't want to be late
'Bye-bye' is all I have left to say
But I'm getting better at letting things go
I don't have to let anyone get in my way
They can dump their trash
I don't have to make it my own
They might decide to lash (out)

Good on you DG don't take no truck
You need no hassle from that young buck
You are the best
You beat the rest
Tell that loser 'get to F-'
You are way to good to have that cr4p
Always landing on your lap
You've worked so hard
You hold the cards
Send him west if he should slap
All those days without a smoke,
ditching weed, now that's no joke
You scrapped the drink
Now, time to think;
Do you really want this bloke????
