The rain is bouncing down
But I am feeling fine
I used to miss the sound of it
All blocked out with wine.
I'm listening to the pitter patter
Against the window pain
It's quite a comforting noise
It's good to feel quite sane.

i had such a miserable week
my feelings were in need of a tweak
I woke up this morn
not quite so forlorn
some positive vibes I will seek
i'm thinking about snoozyq
and hope you're not feeling as blue
just stay here and write
keep booze out of sight
and know that your friends here are true
eq, i'm sorry that you are feeling such grief
our time with our loved ones can be brief
for sure she would say
stay sober today
and i'm so proud of your lifestyle belief
oh gracie you must be feeling tired
hubby's snoring had you up and all wired
i hope he lived through
that pillow or two
and as your partner he hasn't been fired
I wish that I had more time
for adding another rhyme
some work I must do
then watch football too...woohoo
the clock I cannot rewine(d)

VC I too, am lurking here,
As winters lick draws ever near
In candle light, by fireside
I toast my toes in sober pride
Inside from weather cold and drear
Grey and dull weighed down with rain
The day persuades me inside to remain
Here I visit on SR
and hear of friends both near and far
Their borrowed sunshine keeps me sane
For some, the spring is bursting through
New year, new life, yard work to do
For others still, it's just too hot
They seek cool breeze and shady spot
The world revolves and days renew
Tomorrow there,is warm and bright,
but here, right now,is chilly night
And yesterday, this moment hot
While dawn lights up an icy spot
Time zones and seasons all excite
Whatever weather I have here,
Someone somewhere would wish for dear
And me? I'd have a little heat
To warm my nose and icy feet
To much to ask, I really fear!

The nice bellman at the hotel
Brought us anniversary champagne .... Oh Hell!!
I started crying . I felt like just dying .
The evening was not starting well .
I prayed through dinner I'd cope
Would my serenity return ? I hoped
Would my H understand
This was not what I'd planned
To the waiter he then said "Diet cokes".
My smile came instantly back
Our evening was right back on track
My DH saved the night
To my utter delight
Dodged a bullet. Sobriety intact!

YESTERDAY
I did not write on this thread
My feelings were filled with dread
no words would come through
I was totally blue
I would have been better off dead.
Cant believe how life gets you down
All happy , then met with a frown
It comes from left field
I give in , i yield
I am the face of that sad clown.
So what the hell do i do
thank god for limericks and you
I feel better already
Hand nice and steady
My soul is poured out , its blue
I need to get off of this bus
I've gotta stop making a fuss
My guts is in knots
My liver, it rots
I just wanna vent and cuss
Bad luck!i have no one to blame
I'm the one living with shame
It's my fault where I am
noone gives a damn
At least i remember my name.
The other night changed everything
I came close to having a binge
It serves a reminder
"I'll get her, I'll find 'er "
Tomorrow , remorseful , she'll cringe.
So what do i do to get well
I'm sick of going through hell
When i think its alright
Again starts the fight
With my alcohol imprisoned cell.
Sorry that seemed so subdued
But I'm really just not in the mood
To be nice when life's ****
And I'm taking a hit
with my mind I am having a feud
I find when i spit it out here
I take away some of my fear
But you bear the brunt
When life's such a #unt
I really do hold you all dear.
You must think i have a foul mouth
Like the guttersnipe from the south
But it comes out in here
As I shed a new tear
We do that a bit in the south ( Australia)
Well thank you my friends no end
I am done putting paper to pen
This really felt good
Like i knew it would
I feel i may be on the mend.
Don't let my post drive you away
I know it seems full of dismay
But I'll get it together
Whatever the weather
tomorrow's a brand new day
Love you all xx

Rather tired tonight
So this wont be the best limerick that I write,
But Dear SnoozyQ
I just write to tell you
Into limericks, I have poured much pain
Writing then when down keeps me sane
Vent here as much as you like, I've done it too
EQ, sending you my love and hugs.

Hi All, I've been absent for awhile
I've been going through a bit of a trial
But this morning I read
All I missed on this thread
So much of it made me smile
To many things going on in my mind
The answers, so hard to find
But I can see
Oh silly me
Many of us have been facing the grind
There must be a reason
Maybe its the change of season
Some of us are blue
The coming day we rue
Surely here there is a lesson

To share a thought or feeling,
Or a craving when you're reeling
That is this thread's purpose
When you feel at your worst
And you're having trouble dealing.
So express it; don't ignore
Feelings need release for sure.
Just to name the emotion
From sobriety's ocean
Of feelings, is the cure.
And then to make it fit
Well that's sobriety "Lit"
(That's short for literature.
NOT "lit" like drunken blur!)
Write your goal to quit!
That's quit the drink, I mean!
The desire to be clean
Is underneath each poem
That ole AV? We'll show'em
That it's business we do mean!
But do not quit the limerick
Through all your thin and thick
All these poems link together
Its like one long limerick letter
Connecting makes it stick.

My dog is having gas
It may kill me yet alas
If I am aphixiated
Know it wasn't complicated
But I didn't die with class
Tell them if I suffocate
That its something puppy ate
Its as if I have a hubby
But I'm just in bed with puppy
Guess I shoulda bought a crate!
When the coroner doth come
then my doggy will play dumb.
With his big ole puppy eyes
He will tell the coroner lies
And claim I drank some rum!
But you all will know the truth
You won't need a super sleuth
For I swear I didn't relapse
Just gave extra puppy snacks
Leading to a death uncouth!

I think I've gone a bit manic
I'm beginning to panic
Sobriety is great
Really first rate
The changes are gigantic
The problem is, I can't be still
Always looking for things to fill
Every second of time
The walls I could climb
Seeking some new thrill
Is this normal, do you know?
Should I just go with the flow?
With AA and exercise classes
And swimming the fastest
When will I begin to slow?
My H thinks I've gone mad
I'm not trying to make him sad
I can't sit and watch TV
It's too boring for me
Being quiet would make him glad
Midnight now and mind racing
Already I'm bracing
Tomorrow is a new day
For peace I will pray
But the floor I'm pacing
Any advice greatly appreciated 😊. Xxxx

He has his ole Vic back
You've taken a new tack
This is for the best
take time out to rest
You have got the knack
DG You're right with pain
by writing in this vane
We put it out on the line ,
time after time
But internally we gain
Venus my kitty cat
To you i raise my hat
A friend i love you dear
The first i met in here
Our friendship wont fall flat xx
Eq
If your dog is having gas
You need to fix its ass
You need to block its butt
That foul smelling mutt
Or something else will pass
Haha i enjoyed that one :-)
See how good i feel
SR's the real deal
I actually did laugh
but probly made you barf
My layers i do peel .
Oh how to change a mood
I will not sit and brood
No longer feeling sad
There's a day to be had
my dog i will include.
( my non stinky dog EQ) hah , you so made me laugh.
I found an old wine stopper
That should fix the popper
No more farting sound
coming from your hound
His sphincters come a cropper!
Have a great day guys xx woof !

vicki, I get it
some days it is hard to sit
follow through with "easy does it"
meditation, not medication
building a new foundation
soon it will all start to fit
oh, snoozyq
your potty humor gave me a lol
and time to relax for a spell
it worked for you too
two rhyme number 2
while not loosing a single brain cell
hats off to your h, ltd
it was in your eyes he could see
you were just out of sort
no desire for port
your craving was so bri oh t
i'm starting to run a bit late
so off from this thread I must skate
i will return soon
maybe pop in at noon
and offer a midday update

Carlos i love to read your stuff
Your limericks are off the cuff
You better not run late
For your important date
Or you will huff 'n puff!
I know brooksie it makes you think
But other things drive me to drink
once I was one of them
so who am i to condemn
Thank god for the limerick link :-)
Reaching out , good for you
I feel good when i do too
The ups 'n downs cause us grief
But in SR i have belief
Most people are kind ' n true

It's so busy these days on our thread
Where we write what we feel can't be said
We can pour out our souls
As we ponder our goals
And knock that AV on the head
Be it 2 days, 2 weeks or 2 years
Sobriety is what we hold dear
So here we spend time
Unloading in rhyme
Our hopes, our joys and our fears.
So a flatulent dog makes us smile
Snoozys remedy may work-for a while
Vicki's ants in her pants
Makes her stand up, and dance
LDTs husband shows all he has style
For everyone here needs a place
To share all the worries they face
And to make us feel warm
Like midnite feast in a dorm
To keep night time fears in place
Where we write what we feel can't be said

as promised i'm back for a rhyme
and the weather outside is sublime
strap on my leaf blower
and gas up the mower
then just 9 holes of golf would be fine
what is this new avatar, snooz?
is this the source of your muse?
all wrapped up and warm
and out of the storm
and hiding from kangaroos
hey v, what's happening with you?
I know that you've been feeling a bit blue
remember we care
and offer a prayer
stay sober and tough times we get through
eq, with your thoughts I am down
our intentions we wear like a crown
some serious, some sad
others funny, but never a fad
and I never leave this thread with a frown
thanks again dear undies toots and dg
without your invite here I would not be
to offer some sunshine
or deliver a punch line
or help when i'm like "oh woe is me"
