Toots instead of a weekend of three days
They would all have seven if I had my way
Then we could just spend all of our time
On SR writing each other silly rhymes
Too bad nobody listens to what I say!

DG0409

Today does mark 2 weeks no weed
From addiction, I have been freed
My mind is much clearer
Each day, I hold my sobriety dearer
My limerick pals do help me to succeed

bloss

Thanks, DG

tootsl1

DG you are doing so well
And your rhyming is coming on swell,
You are sober and clean
And working out like a fiend
Your world is beginning to gel!

LDT

So...I have been thoroughly chicken
The call I dread making has me sickened
The conflict I avoid
I don't want to be annoyed
The beat of my heart has quickened.

So much time has past, I know I'm afraid
My life 'back then' was a charade
I practice detachment
Want NO re-enactments
For strength and peace I have prayed.

DG0409

LDT my dear
Don't sit in fear
The visit will be bad enough
But no reason to suffer stuff
Until the time is really here

DG0409

Toots, you're always so kind
A limerick just for me I find
But I'm up too early
My brain is still squirrely
So this won't be my best 'thank you' rhyme

bloss

So comforting to be
Where friends truly see
Help is right here
Nothing to fear
From worry, be free

tootsl1

Ah Bloss you are right! You see
This place is the therapy for me
I arrive with a frown
But someone acts the clown
And I'm happier...and it's all free

LDT I feel for you dear
I visit perhaps twice a year
It plays on my mind
My teeth i will grind
But I'm big, I have nothing to fear

Even so when I get there I'm ten
And in trouble, and anxious again
My adult rebels,
my inner child yells
And I wish I could leave there and then

tootsl1

It's Sunday, I'm on coffee no2
And I thought I would write this to you
My sober days don't look much
But the changes in my life are such
I feel like I am living anew

And I just want to thank you SR
For getting my sober so far,
New life and new friends
Old life dies and ends
SR you are my guiding star

DG0409

Funny, it's Sunday here too
And toots I must agree with you
SR guides our way
Maps out our sober days
It helps us all to get through

EternalQ

SR is a miracle maker
Where I trust and cannot be a faker.
I may not meet all of you
But when my life is through
I'll be sober when I meet my Maker!

EternalQ

I haven't slept the last two nights
Its given me a case of the frights
Its making me paranoid
My thinking is toyed
Insomnia really bites.

Its made both the days pretty useless
As I wander all around clueless
There are things I must do
But it feels like a flu
I'm not functioning and I feel foolish.

There's too much at stake to be slacking
And my house I should be a packing
But just packed one box.
I fear all the clocks
Time is nill and I sit yakking.

EQ I am sharing your plight
I manage 3-4 hours a night
While beloved one snores
I am suffering PAWS
And Lordy, don't I look a fright!

Zombie Toots is playing golf today
While I just want to sleep it away
If I'm lucky I'll land
On green not in sand
If I stand still my body will sway!

EQ I don't envy your move
You really must get in your groove
You have so much to pack
Though of sleep you lack
And I'm to flippin tired to try to rhyme!

Sorry EQ, definitely not on my game today! I hope the move goes well

DG0409

I too am rather sleepy
At least I'm not still weepy
Trying to get used to early days
But recently, that just hasn't been my way
More sleep would be good I do say

But it's time for me to get to work
At least there are no bottles and corks
Littering my motel room
No feeling of bleakness or doom
Not sure of a good line with 'stork'

DG0409

Oops... the top one isn't even a limerick... I am tired!

EternalQ

Today dear Toots and DG,
How you've brought a smile to me
With your lopsided rhyme
Makes me laugh everytime
That's the end of my poem.... tee hee!

bloss

This is guite a do
Insomnia here in CA too
All of us are awake
Today we will make
A very sleepy sober crew

Have a nice sober Monday, yawns and all.

tootsl1

Eternal, Bloss and DG,
We girls are way more than sleepy
With air in our heads
we all need our beds
And to sleep 14 hours-dream free!

bloss

I slept, though not, dream free
But, 6 or 7 hours worked for me
Last night was better
So today I'm a go getter
Sober is the best way to be
