Does sobriety make us more wise?
When we give up chasing the highs?
We don't need the "proof"
We all know the truth:
We start living, when addiction, dies.

Truth will set us free
Let us each be ME
Chunk away the lies
That eat at our insides
Go away and let us BE!

I'm back and have been such a fool
Alcohol made me its tool
I'm trying again
So help me in my pain
Life is too much of a jewel

All that matters is today
The past has gone away
Live the day free of pain
There will be much to gain
As sober, we do stay

One day at a time is the only way
Don't worry about yesterday
Just live for today.
There's a better life waiting
For you and for me
A life of hope and love
Just wait and see.

Oh Toots, I'm glad you are back.
New day, don't focus on lack.
Your life is abundant
As SR pundits,
We run in a limerick pack!

She put on sobriety's glasses
And learned that the craving passes
And reading SR
Took her very far
And joining the monthly classes.

She still has so far to go.
Its still baby steps, you know!
She's learning to walk
She knows she's an Alc,
And alcohol is still her foe.

But at least she has made it a year
And she's no longer ruled by her fear.
Though her quest is eternal,
And her posting nocturnal,
She's so grateful to still be here!

I fluffed it again as before,
Rolling around drunk on the floor,
But today is the day
I live a new way
And show that darned AV the door,

When I drank I could not do my rhymes,
Punishment to my self for my crimes
But now I'm allowed
Back in with you crowd
And believe me- make up for lost time!!

Haha Dear Toots, you're a hoot!
So stop giving yourself the boot!
Be good to your mind,
And treat yourself kind!
Cause all drinking does, is pollute!

I'm into day two and still free
But I count only 24 hours you see
So two day is one,
You're confused? What fun
Tomorrow will be two day not three!

I'm back and I'm bad as you see
Limericks belong to me
When I'm in the zone
I don't hear my phone
And AV might just as we'll flee

In limerick land I stand tall
So proud of my rhyming and wit
I may get it wrong, but still sing my song
"Run away AV, you wee shhh ( there may be kids listening!!!!

Thank you for the open arms, I have missed you all xx

May we all be at ease
Free from this addiction disease
Living day to day
In our own special way
To do as we please

What day is our Toots on the path?
(She can't fool me with her crazy math...)
I am Queen and Dame
in the limerick game
I can beat poets Yeats, Rich or Plath!

And Bloss is so thoughtful and kind.
Her limericks help me unwind.
While drinking's deceitful,
Her poetry is peaceful.
She comforts my body and mind.

I see a 'rhyme off' coming EQ,
Though I think I would well lose its true,
Your rhyming is neat
You think on your feet,
Your Highness, I bow down to you!!!

I am watching the Simpsons just now
Barts saying 'dont have a cow'
Homers the chap
To cause a mishap
Especially when he's Mr Plow!!

Bloss your words are so wise
You help see AV in disguise
This time I'll be ready
And hope to hold steady!
And sobriety will be my prize

We must forgive those who abuse us,
That I'm told, and so I must trust.
For to live out my life
Sans anger and strife,
No matter I feel it's unjust.

My peace has always been last,
My serenity for "them" has been cast,
NO MORE, for me,
I take my life back and see,
That "their" personal darkness is vast.

I found I escaped in a bottle,
Masking feelings, sad and hollow,
Now I'm happy I'm sane,
Sobriety's my game,
I'm living life at full throttle

LDT, it is hard, but its true.
Unforgiving, only hurts you.
Cause it keeps you stuck
In past childhood muck.
As if you have never grew.

But its false for you've grown to this day.
Those unable, can never repay.
We do best that we can
With what's given, and,
Believe it or not, so do they...

It's hard to forgive that is true
I had the same task to do
But to forgive is to empower
And allows you to flower
And move on, and become the real you

Hello all my writers of poems,
I hope you're all snug in your homes.
My battery's weak.
We must look, and seek
For a limerick app on our phones!

Karilyn, I know you're there so come on out.
If you don't write a poem soon, I will pout.
And that is not a pretty sight.
In fact one might call it a fright!
So come on, woman, let me hear you shout!
