VC if life could be so neat
I'd wish it for us all my sweet,
But tears and pain
Loss and gain
Are part of what makes us complete
We grow and learn and stretch each day
Life's actions change us in every way
We must be strong
brave for so long
And hope the road smooths out one day
I'd wish it for us all my sweet,
But tears and pain
Loss and gain
Are part of what makes us complete
We grow and learn and stretch each day
Life's actions change us in every way
We must be strong
brave for so long
And hope the road smooths out one day

At midnight I'll have THIRTY DAYS!
Not long ago life was a haze.
To think, weed, wine and beer
Ruled my life for 10 years
Now sober, to God I give praise!!
I keep having dreams about weed
Why oh why does my brain feel the need
To remind me of smoking
Awake, I reject toking!
While asleep I just want to be freed!

Thirty days BR00ksie for you
Your sobriety relatively new
Unconscious you find
Old thoughts fill your mind
But with time they will pass- it is true
Your achievement is great, be proud
Be happy and shout it out loud
You know you are strong
You'll see before long
Yon won't even need that pink cloud!!

Love so much the Limirick site,
Thanks to many for the invite,
When the thoughts are more mellow,
Some issues within are settled,
Will find the creative side,
And contribute not just hide,
Until that time I will be inspired
What I write will not be something tired
The thoughts will flow well,
The words penned pretty swell,
And what I say may bring some peace,
Though to others may be better to cease.

Brooksie, way to go on 30 days
You've come a long ways
We're super proud of you
Giving up the alcohol and weed too
Sending congratulations your way
I'm sure the dreams will pass
If you keep not smoking grass
Really I'd say they are nightmares
About that which you do fear
You wake up glad sobriety does last
Ipanema, glad you found your way here
Us limerickers all hold each other dear
This is a good place in which to hang
Here we do take away AV's fangs
With poetry, love and cheer
Toots you'll be glad to know my dear
You can again stand near
I did find a washing machine
And my clothes are now clean
They no longer smell like rear

In the past my life seemed bleak
and I didn't care a jot
about how I looked and what I did
and whether I lived or not.
I drank wine by the bottle
red or white would do
I hid the empties out of sight
to alcohol I was true.
I went to work on auto pilot
With eyes all ready and heavy
I used to count the minutes down
to the time of my next bevvie.
Then one day I saw the light
It made me stop and think
My lovely family should come first
Above toxic poisonous drink.
I surfed the web and found S.R
It had people just like me
I can do this, I told myself
A sober life can be.
With each new day I wake up sober
My twisted mind grows stronger
I've begun to actually live a little
as my sober time gets longer.
I wake up sober each day now
In awe of the world around me
The guilt has gone and the sadness passed
A new life is waiting for me.

Sobriety brings joy and here's the proof
The talent in this thread is through the roof
All the words that you write
Make my days just so bright
And you do this so easily ~ poof!

This weekend had much celebration!
It seemed like a mini vacation!
Never thought, on day one
I'd have such sober fun
I feel like I can conquer a nation!
I have so much love for you all
On this site I have such a ball!
Here, there's joking and sharing,
Supporting, and caring
My feelings of gratitude aren't small!!

I thought life without booze was the end
I was losing my one true friend
No more smiles and laughter
No happy ever after
And then I wrote here and pressed send
Suddenly I had friends round the globe
Who liked the stories I told
All really nice
Even like my advice
Now I have hope to hold
For now my days are filled up
From the moment I drink my first cup
I'm a temperance daughter
Drink coffee and water
And happily enjoy what I sup
Colleagues look askance when I say
I've a bestie in the US of A
A great friend 'oop North
Who raises a laugh
Have I met them? No! But one day...
I know I will love them on sight
For they have held me in darkest night
The truest of all
Are there when you call
And with their support all will be right.
The first day, the first week I was crawling
On SR for aid I came calling
I found help galore
And more friends in store
Nobody found me appalling!
Here I feel I am home
I no longer feel I'm alone
I have friends night and day
Who I care for, and say
On SR I'm so in the zone!

oh can it be true, the words that I read
br00ksie, one month, a total clean head?
and dg's draw
don't smell like plow
welcome deeker, thanks for breaking some bread
v's back to her fun LOVIN way
dear Gracie has so much to say
how she saw the light
and gave up the fight
while Ipanema joined in with the fray
EQ hails from Delaware
I bet she is not aware
I once had a business there
but my partner was a _ick
so we boogied right quick
the "little wonder" was no love affair
i saw this baberahan Lincoln pass by
in her racing garb and a car that could fly
with the petal she thrust
leaving me in a cloud of dust
in a car she named "eat some cow pie"???
okay, not my best effort...but i am laughing...tee-hee
i come to this thread in some fright
hiding from one in plain sight
I've slacked on my chores
virtually hearing shut doors
but my plan is to make it all right
i'm still feeling under the weather
but soon i'll be feeling much better
my body if free
of toxins you see
so i'll just wrap myself up in a sweater
oh my dear snoozy q
where the heck are you?
we miss you so much
your rhymes they do touch
we can help you while feeling blue
seems our Vicky has been absent of late
i hope you're still doing great
and be back here soon
with a rhyme or a tune
or anything that is on your plate
well, it is time i move on from this thread
don't worry, be sad, or dread
soon i will yearn
and make a return
and some chores have been put to bed
almost forgot to ask ldt
if in her new bathroom they are ready to pea (softens the blow)
or if there are still guests
all making a mess
dust on your new dress
are there new sinks for both her and he?

To SR Friends...at 1 am wakeup...not sure if it's tonight or tomorrow...please excuse.
While life being sober has it's ups and downs,
Many times thinking watch out for the frowns,
Seeing today early and starting it new,
Couldn't be better with words from all of you.
The talent from all on this SR site,
Sobriety shows in each word you write,
Has an impact while reading that starts the day right,
Oh Thank the Lord for all on this site.
The prose is magically transforming this brain,
From something we all have when in some pain,
To hope for a wonderful day to come,
When body and thoughts are blended to one.
The shock of not being able to do,
At least for a bit is tempered by talents of you,
And the faith that comes that works they've said,
Make me raise up and just shake my head,
If ever was any doubt that truth had been said,
By HP and many kind people and works with my head,
Each day has a purpose each, each days has some dread,
And the SR friends are so awesome, with Dr. Zeuss in the thread,
Would not have wanted to miss the experience of SR words before bed.
