Snoozy it is hard to say
To celebrate this special day
For words too few
To say to you
I love you ( but not in a gay way)!

You are the kindest sweetest soul
Sobriety your toughest goal
And yet you fight
With all your might
And learn to dance, around a pole

Ten months you've graced us with yourself
We've shared your poetry-such wealth
In your words, your heart
And, occasionally a fart
You're winning your sober days with stealth

congratulations on 10 months my dear sweet friend.

SnoozyQ

Tootsie , I love you

;-))))

Thank you so much , my friend , I love it xx

Congratulations, SnoozyQ!
A little rhyme I send to you --
Whatever hell drink put you through
For 10 months you've stayed off the brew
So my respect for you is true,
And my wishes on this day are two:
May your spiritual skin keep its youthful dew
And may you be ever grateful for this life anew!

Elseware

Snoozy Quoozy, if I got choosy
I would bake you a cake!
You could eat chunks, it being 10 months
We're proud of you and all that you do
Fighting cravings and PAWS with all of it's ravings
You've come a long way and with us you'll stay

Congratulations to you, my dear!

Yesterday I have to say
Was a most momentous day
Courage, heart in mouth
Left work and headed 10 blocks south
To meet a strange lady in a strange way

A plan was hatched meet point agreed
Was this such a clever deed?
Happily both looked and saw
The person they were looking for
Of anxiety, there really was no need

Like an extended SR PM thread
We spoke of all inside our heads
We chatted laughed and hugged
Carlos wished my bag was bugged
And sun shone down on well met friend.

For me so garrulous and free
I'll chat with everyone I see
The day held no fear
Just a friend reason to cheer
Hours of fun, enjoyed soberly

For Courage, I did not realise
Letting herself meet me was a surprise
Not a normal thing for she
To meet a stranger, even me
So to me, yesterday was even greater prize

Having read what you wrote in the Undies Courage, I feel even more overwhelmed at meeting with you yesterday. I am so glad you took the steps that brought to to our meeting place, it was certainly an afternoon to remember! Xx

ONE CAN ONLY WONDER??
I'm thinking that site's for sore eyes
Courage and Toots together telling more(now what word rhymes with eyes that fits here???)
They walked in the park
Made all the dogs bark
What in the world was surmised?

HAPPY 10 MONTHS CLEAN AND SOBER, SNOOZE:
There she is, her sobriety strong
Dancing a pole in her new yellow thong
she shimmied and shook
and gave us a look
At 10 months sober she'd take on king kong

SnoozyQ

Thanks Elsie and courage too
love those poems from both of you
I finally have nowt to fear
I'm 2 months shy of sober year

I'm finding life easy for me
Now I've found sobriety
It's been bloody hard I'll tell you that
But worth the pain i wont go back

It really was a superstition
Drinking hides my inhibition
For i come here i can be me
In limericks I'm oh so free

I may be on the edge at times
Naughty with my out there rhymes
This thread gives me free expression
I love that there is no suppression

I really am a limerick freak
Hang 24 with my friend Deek
I love my Julyers thread
I check in be4 my bed.

I love this site implicitly
Sans alcohol literally
Ye gads my batteries down low
Off to charge it i must go

MidnightBlue

I let go sense of guilt,
Scattering ashes of past to the wind.
So long ago the prison was built.
I'm starting from scratch. One more step within.

Somewhere there my Self is waiting
To finally meet me and give a hug.
"What took you so long?" - "Some poor mapping.
My compass was broken. And I got stuck".

I've been distracted, and fooled, and beaten.
But so happy to find you at last.
Please, hold me tight. I've walked a long road
To leave sense of guilt and torturing past.

SnoozyQ

Wow Tootsie and Courage yippeeeee

Carlos dear my poles having a rest
I've really put it to the test

Hi SnoozyQ

So proud you made it to 10 months
I started a Limerick and feel asleep
So I just want to say today..........

You're on the way to a long Sobriet"a"

I know it was the hardest to do
Your brain was playing tricks on you
The disease had you by the ears?
And put you through many sessions of tears.

I know your friends on SR helped so much
I already know you'll always be in touch
I believe you have some friends for life here
Knowing well you can reach us, and never fear.

Of course it's not all rosy and bright
Something to pray about every night
That's life in Sobriety and much more too
I hope life will be a pleasure to you.

Here's why I think that will be that way
Cause you're a friend thru and thru
And, lastly, in closing I hope I still know you
We're sober and laughing and having a blast
Twenty years from now it could be true

I wish you all that Sobriety has to offer
and a very Happy Birthday to you with love, SnoozyQ

Well, folks, I finally did it.
I told needyfriend to quit it.
"You call me too much,
You text me a bunch,
And I am completely sick of it."

Needy did not take it well.
Her voice quickly started to swell.
"I've been a picture perfect friend
Putting up with you to no end.
How dare YOU tell ME to go to hell?"

I told her "I still like you"
But I'm beginning to wonder if that's true.
Truth is I'm feeling angry
That she has begun to chase me
Instead of let me live like I want to.

I feel super uncomfortable
Waiting for the other shoe to fall.
Is she going to call me,
Follow me, or maul me?
I'm worried she's going to turn unpredictable.

Mostly I'm just not used to
Existing in a mellieu.
I drink, I complain
I eat food, I train.
Anything to get my mind off what's hard to do.

To IWILAST:

Your sense of humor is great to read
Sometimes I don't get it and that's just me
But I know all in fun and meant to be
A Quick Picker Upper for many and me
And that's all I've got tonight, so tired
Been twice to the Vet today, did I mention I'm tired
More to come on those episodes
Miss Tixie Cat charmed the vet and no charges to me
With that, I'll close, and thanks all, Good Night

Gilmer

Ipanema, I know what you mean--
It is terribly taxing to glean
What Carlos intends
With his jokes without end
My mind is too chaste-like and clean!

Ipanema

To Gleefan,

Your friend is kinda scary to be so needy. She could be just needy but also dangerous.
Maybe a professional, like a counselor, could help you write a letter of how this is impacting your life and you wish her only the best, (but take a hike)...just thinking because it struck a nerve. I have had similar experiences and was followed at work wherever I went. Your phone calls from her are ridiculous. So, in closing, I would think about a counselor, possibly a restraining order or the Police. Good Luck!!

Gilmer

Snooz, you are one lucky girl
you're sober and out for a whirl
your posts are so fun
you're really the one
to cheer up the whole frickin' world!

Gilmer

Gleefan, I hope for the best--
I hope Needy gives you a rest.
Just do what you can,
And if things hit the fan,
Just call the cops on her, no jest!

gleefan

Ipanema - thanks!

I'm gonna hafta weigh in
on how Toots and I spent a day in
Bryant Park and Central:
Now it's true I may be mental,
but we were innocently walkin'
when the press started stalkin'
us -- we minded our own bodies
(tho it's true that we are hotties),
under the sun sky-larking,
and we set no dogs to barking.
But we shared a lot of stories
of our tattered glams and glories,
and Toots nudged me to be braver,
so for her I'll do one favor --
I'll never share
her secrets bare--
Carlos we'll tease--
and ourselves we'll please!

IWLSAST

I'm off to the store
to buy Snoozy some more
batteries
if you please
to pick her up off of the floor

What a pleasant site to see
MB is talking of feeling guilt free

Ippy and Tixie all working their groove
The Vet wants no cashola to move

Gilmer and Glee have joined in to rhyme
they both are so busy, how did they find time

I came to this thread all innocent and naive
The things I was reading I could not believe

Courage, DG and Toots they all must be blonde
of everyone here I am so very fond

abcowboy

Ah my friends, I seem to have lost my gift of rhyme.... but I'll work on it!!
