[QUOTE=MesaMan;5177819]There once was a Gal SnoozyQ
Her Birthday had nary a Brew
Though Sober Down Under
No Booze she would plunder
Or stray from her Course ever true

You are soooo clever , love your poems xx

There once was a man who could barely stand
Sometimes crawling about on his knees and hands
His mind went so dark
Until he embarked
On taking new action and devising a plan
In the meantime, though, he had lost fifteen pounds
And that's forty pounds less than when he was round
So weak and so frail
But determined to prevail
And walk upright again instead of slithering on the ground
As with anything worth doing there are risks involved
And I just have to have trust that this all can be solved
First it will be
Back surgery
Cuz this extrusion is big and will take long to dissolve
If all goes well I'll be moving about
Without succumbing to tears or wanting to shout
And my strength will come back
Something I sorely lack
So as soon as I'm ready I'll start to work out
And that's where I am where I was where I've been
Fighting to stay positive but not wanting to be seen
I'm not leaving it to chance
Whether one day I'll dance
I may not be fit but I'm certainly lean

I'm at work in my break with nothing at stake
Unlike last night oh what a fright
Went out with some friends had a drink bought
Said no but thank you did what I ought
She said have a taste of this new green tea
I said in reply Ye hah that suits me
I took 3 little sips but was all unterward
She tricked me this girl silly young broad
I dunno what it was but my head gave a spin
How dangerous was that it could all begin
They thought it was funny oh yeah what a joke
I went to the bar I ordered a coke
I can't blame her really all of 18
Thought it was funny not dispirited or mean
I picked up my keys I said outa here
The girls got more drinks the guys got a beer
I drove home quite happy I didn't give in
I've really got this it all a big win
I got up this morn from my nice warm bed
But oh what a diff it's not filled with dread
Woohooooooo

I filled out an advanced directive form today
And got a surprisingly violent response from my wife
I think she's more disturbed than I
About the thought of a sudden end to my life
Chances are things will go as planned and I'll be fine
But you never know so I wanted it in black and white
That a persistant vegetative state is no way to live
And to be powerless to change that just doesn't seem right
And then she didn't want to be my agent
She doesn't want it to be her call
She said to leave it up to my sister
With her self-proclaimed cold heart and all
These are things uncomfortable to discuss
But we all live just long enough to die
And we need to be prepared to grieve
And concede that every hello leads to a goodbye

It's worse right now
But i can ambulate
The hole in my back
Doesn't feel so great
They chipped away bone
And that's gotta heal
They peeled nerves from disc
And that i can feel
This will take some time
And I'm on scary drugs
But i understand addiction
And i'm getting gentle hugs
I've a avoided the opioids
For over a year
But i need them for now
Though they cause me some fear
Only as needed
Is what the doctor said
Needed by my body
Not including my head
And as soon as i can
I will start to cut back
From two down to one
I am keeping close track
Every pill i consume
I keep in a log
To keep me aware
In this drug-addled fog
But i need them for now
Or i would be crying
Without them right now
I would think i was dying
We do what we must
To survive and thrive
But this time around
I will fly but not dive
But i can ambulate
The hole in my back
Doesn't feel so great
They chipped away bone
And that's gotta heal
They peeled nerves from disc
And that i can feel
This will take some time

taking percocet
and only as directed
not for faint of heart
it was that very drug
that lessened surgery's pain
then I drank a wine
just one glass of wine
it had been eleven years
no big deal - got this
one became countless
soon a decade had passed
what was I to do
those pills felt so good
taking them was a highway
to heartache and pain
it's written in the cards
I'll face that daemon again
how will this all end.............
Zero, be careful and continue to be vigilant. It was 4 months after 180 perc's in two months following heart surgery that I took that tiny glass of wine after not drinking for over 11 years. Make no mistake, I was taking those pills to get high as well as ease the pain in the end. The following decade is a blurrrrrrrrrrrrrr
My best, my friend.

Thanks, Carlos, and believe me, I understand
Addiction, like this latest surgery, was not exactly planned
I avoided opioids until I awoke from surgery already high
Then I tried to cut the dose too soon and thought that I would die
But three days out and I'm already feeling ready to wean
Still on the Percocet but quit the pure oxy in between
Tomorrow I'll maybe try one instead of two
Or wait six instead of four hours like I had tried too early to do
I'm thankful for them after having bone carved from my spine
And there's no way in hell I'm drinking a sip much less a glass of wine
No, I get it and I'm handling it and I won't let this go on for long
I've been through too much to allow making myself right go horribly wrong
