This is not to judge
What another does
But on my sober path
I really hath
Decided to avoide all drugs
Some days it means I go through pain
I accept some days I'll feel pretty lame
No matter the feelings, I let them come
I sit and feel them until they are done
Or find something to do like a walk in the rain
It's not always easy to motivate
Rather than to procrastinate
Some days I feel really low
But that's more reason to grow
The pain can serve as a warning
That something in my life needs turning
But that's not to say
That if there comes a day
With physical pain to great
Then I really may
(In fact, probably will)
Turn to some kind of pill

several nights of soma high
leaves me foggy
creativity dry
it's a drug of abuse
that i gladly don't like
but it's putting the breaks
on spasms and the like
the drug ain't for pain
nor does it address the cause
like stopping the bleeding
with a bandage of gauze
it massages my nerves
or something like that
and now i can stretch a bit
on my yoga mat
but i need to get strong
so i can live without soma
cuz weeks of this ****
would put me in a coma

i tried to do some physical work
but it left me poopy tired
i have some much more to do
where's the guy i should have hired
i'm detoxing from those nasty meds
and fighting off lethargy
this body of mine
remains a mystery
as does my meandering mind
my heart and my intention
in this world without real meaning
a journey of my own invention
making a point of fighting pointlessness
seeking relief from all my pains
staring down the demon desperation
what lies inside my azure veins
but it left me poopy tired
i have some much more to do
where's the guy i should have hired
i'm detoxing from those nasty meds

Hi lovelies 
Trials & tribulations are all a part of life
Happiness , melancholy , indifference, strife
I find if I keep busy my demons stay at bay
At least that's what I tell myself every single day
I can wake determined strong in my conviction
strong turns wrong and once again I'm caught in my affliction
I'll seize the day yes I will its tangible and freeing
I'll live my life the best I can be happy, carpe diem

Hey EW, how you been?
Although Snoozy's new kitty is cute,
It has a real coal-dusted snoot,
Your eardrums should fry,
From it's loud plaintive cry,
Siamese are not often found mute.

My brain, it sure likes medication,
It's a non-booze fueled path to sedation,
So friends Else and Glee,
I surely do see,
And understand your trepidation.
But we all must have crosses to bear,
And one may be pain always there,
But if taking a med,
Helps you in/out of bed,
Results are then better than fair.

Thank you Elsie , you're a dear ;-)
Zeros right mewing I hear
Siamese talk they mewl and cry
That's all I need to get me by
This kit he saved my sanity
No time for work or vanity
The black dogs left it got a boot
My kittened one is such a hoot

Early recovery was so tough
And nothing seemed to happen fast enough
But with patience and a bit of time
Life has come to be sublime
Things are going well with my business
And my life just seems to have more of a bigness
So many of my problems have been solved
And I find myself to be actively involved
I don't let myself grow complacent
I keep recovery as my priority greatest
I seek out new inspiration
And work to keep up my motivation
I push myself beyond my comfort zone
Make an effort to get out of my home
I keep trying and reaching out
Even when it means working through self doubt

DG's strong and getting stronger
Elsie, too, but taking longer
We're all progressing at our own speed
And just when I sense I'm in the lead
Life slaps me down and robs my grace
But this is not some kind of race
We're hand in hand in this strange journey
Even though I need a gurney

This dear Earth
So sad
Beautiful
Disturbing
Miraculous
Sometimes I don't know
If my heart will collapse
Or my mind explode
I've peeled my eyelids
Clear back over my head
And cracked my skull
To expose my brain
To the universe
And all it could say was
Wow
The moon
A hole in the sky
I can almost reach through
And grasp God
And if I could
I would choke him
Then kiss him
Then slap him
Then thank him
For all the joy
And misery
He has created
Or merely allowed
But that is not my job
And I'm not sure he's there
Or if he'd even care
About my insignificant sorrows
Or electrified glee
