EQ to the doctors today,
I'm alcoholic is what I did say
He listened and gave
Me some numbers to save
And call when I've something to say
I spoke to an answer machine,
So on you my dear friends I must lean
For a little while longer,
Until I feel stronger
And appointments are made to be seen

There was once a woman called Grace
Who drank wine till she got off her face
She hid bottles galore
Then went out and bought more
From a different shop
She just couldn't stop.
Grace then saw the light
It gave her a fright
She found new friends on S.R
From near and afar
They talk day and night
Recovery is a delight.

I have some things I'm still avoiding.
these are big things; not just annoying.
to someone else they would be small
they'd not think to avoid at all
Not me, I don't know what I'm doy~ing!!

Day ten for me friends once more
Brings thoughts of my life to the fore..
Sober, I'll stay
Forever and 1 day
My drunk days becoming folklore
These rhymes keep letting me write
The thought that, kept in, just might,
Allow me to think,
That just one wee drink....
Oh no, I will last one more night
So Bloss, EQ Grace et al,
I bid thank you from this old gal,
For giving my voice
It's poem of choice
And now I am off to the mall.
( not really, but those last lines are a beggar!!! Lol. I mean it, thank you EQ for keeping this thread alive, it really does me good to know alcohol hasn't totally destroyed my mind. )

I woke up feeling well and hopeful!
Even patient! And sort of cope~ful!
I never was an optimist
I thought the worst and sometimes hissed.
But mostly I was always mopeful.
But lately, (although often scared)
I'm trying more then I had dared.
I can't focus on the future yet
But I am getting out of debt.
But other fears I haven't shared.
I do the best I can each day
And try to balance work and play
I'm getting balance albeit slowly
And never am I buying Stoli
For then I'd lose all in one day
Recovery can't exist with shame.
This whole thing's like a Jenga game.
The next step must be carefully chosen.
or else the whole of me gets frozen
As I internalize the blame.
Today I continue from last night
Avoid what's wrong and do what's right.
I'm less impatient with me now
I've hills to climb and don't know.how
I'll do it, but, they are in sight.
The hills are just around the bend.
So lots of courage I will send
myself and everyone of us
To make the turn and be nonplussed.
Because this journey, never ends.

Bloss, sober you may have to think,
of memories long drowned in drink,
of times that were bad,
which make you feel bad
but eventually honey, they'll shrink
and days like today will come to the fore,
they will follow each other by the score
you will be content
as your life was meant
to be filled with sweet thoughts evermore

The weekend reminders were many,
of the days that I'd had more than "plenty"
the wine flowed, and they drank
until most of them "stank" ( ooo...that alcoholic breath )
I toasted with straight tonic, (which was yummy!)
