Many times sobriety, I tried
Then I drank and lied
To myself and those near
Mostly out of fear
Help me someone, I cried

stairs

Of booze the body must be clear
to begin healing and lose the fear
Anxiety is alcohol's buddy
that keeps the waters muddy
and makes us go get some beer

We are free of this devilish trick
By outlasting the fear until it won't stick
We were not born to have dependence
Upon a substance so horrendous
Alcohol we did to the curb kick!

Congratulations Bloss!!
Keep keeping on exhausted!!
Hi EQ!!

exauhsted

Thank you God for every breath I breath
Thank you for all you give to me
I would gladly lay in your arms
While you keep me from all harm
But I know you have a plan for me.


A plan that will set me FREE
One that will let me ..be me
Giving all my love inside,
to the ones who try to hide.
The ones that refuse to see.

Tonight is our writer's convention.
Writing limericks relieves all our tension.
Who'd have thought this poetry style
Would've helped us all this while?
(But that's a rhetorical question!)

It's back to limerick land I go
my av and I had quite a row
from out of the blue
it screamed "I want to!!!"
I found myself telling it NO!!!

EternalQ

Your AV crawled out from its shell?
And yet it's your AV that fell!
You showed whose boss
When it comes to the sauce
that AV can go to hell!

Helpful words, I hear today
What's that you say
The urge is really "me"
Don't have to agree
Living the sober way

exauhsted

I wondered through this day of mine.
Hoping that there was more time.
Time to do the things I should.
All the while ,doing what I could.
Knowing at the end all would be fine.

I fought the demons from the dark.
I gave them a reason to depart.
They came again with all they had
They turned a good day into bad.
Here I set looking for a new start.

Nonsensical

Moderator without moderation
But deserving of our adulation
Who else could it be
But SR's own Dee
We owe him a standing ovation



Keep up the great work, Buddy!

EternalQ

Here, here, I second that.
Our Dee is one hip cat.
He has some swag,
Yet doesn't nag.
He's mod, I say, true dat!

stairs

Dee is charming, Dee is cool
Dee does gently enforce rules
However should one mess with Dee
They'd better have good reason, see?
Dee not gladly suffers fools

I did post drunk a time or two
and Dee so nicely said excuse
me stairs but please desist
from further nasty little bits
But kindly hoped I'd stop the booze.

So I returned and newly sober
and Dee was nice, the past was over
Had he been another way
I may have felt I ought not stay
So Dee, thanks for your kindness brudder!

Dee74

I thank you all kindly for your great kindness to me
An SR mod is a good thing to be

EternalQ

Today I did a wee bit better
Less depressed but no go~getter.
Judged myself less
but did not my best
I confess in this limerick letter.

bloss

Your best today
Is fine, I say
Sober, you are
E.Q., our rising star
D.Q'n it the sober way

EternalQ

Aw Bloss you made me smile,
Despite feeling labile.
I'm feeling emotions
Without drinking potions
While matching socks: argyle.

bloss

Feelings really may scare
Feels like pulling my hair
Used to hide with wine
From those feelings of mine
Now sober, I listen and care

karilynn27

my feelings I've been stuffing
turns out thats a bad thing
I must soon find a way
for my heart to have a say
so I don't feel like I'm drowning

EternalQ

Oh Karilyn, don't be timid.
For your growth knows no limit.
The feelings are fresh
So it feels a mess
Because you're swimming in it.

But we see you from the land
We're reaching out our hand.
But you won't need a lift
Because you are a gift
And you're growing according to plan.

I've had sinus pain all day
And it won't go away.
Tried pressure points and neti pot
Motrin and a compress, hot.
But this pain wants to stay.

What is it trying to tell me?
And why will nothing help me?
I feel so mixed.
I want it fixed
So why am I not healthy?

What secondary gain,
Can lie behind this pain?
Or is it the weather?
the barometric pressure?
I wish that it would rain!!!

But there's no precipitation
As per the weather station.
So pain, hello,
If you won't go,
We're here for the duration.

Once a friend did tell me
That what makes sinus well, see,
Is backed up tears
are in arrears
So crying hard would help me.

bloss

It's ok to cry
Though, harder when you try
The pain will soon subside
Just like the rolling tide
Until then, give a heartfelt sigh
