You're too nice to not be snapped up pretty quickly sweetheart xx

Aww snoozy, it makes me sad to hear your poem got lost.

Thank you. You're always such a sweetheart!

When I felt sadness inside me
I drank like a one-winged blind bee
then I discovered
my need to recover
all those feelings I stuffed insanely

there's a football team in cincinnati
whose players are violent and bratty
but they can't expect some savior
to make up for bad behavior
so just go home and smoke a fatty

My Life has got better at last
I'm hoping my bad days have passed
No more to imbibe
I here I'm alive
One month has gone by so fast.

zerothehero

hurray for our good friend snoozy
sounds like the holidays were a doozy
but that's in the past
bad days don't last
no reason now to get boozy

the existentialist meditator
sits on his cushion
mind on the breath
while incessant
internal chatter
causes him to forget
the instructions
and so he meanders
through thoughts
of his life
and fantasies
and conversations
with himself
or rehearsing some speech
or scenario
until he remembers
the instructions again
to meditate until
he forgets again
but it doesn't matter
it's a hopeless endeavor
in a meaningless world
and besides
what else is there to do
but think
or not
and
breathe

Dearest Zero

I truly enjoy your poems xxx

DG0409

Snoozy- way to go on a month! Good to hear you sounding positive. Love you!

SnoozyQ

Love you too DG , how are things going with you sweetheart. I don't see you very much these days ️xxx

DG0409

Hi Snoozy. Sorry I've been slow to respond. I hope you're doing good. Things are going really good for me. I've been pretty busy lately. I've been so engaged in goals I have. It just feels really nice. I'm really not around here much anymore, I think a lot of my personal development goals have just moved past what SR is designed for. I'm finally getting to where my life is really becoming the life that I want to be living and the temptations to drink and mess that all up just aren't there for me at this point. I'm too focused on better stuff to even think of it a lot of the time. It's taken a long time to get to this point though.

Too beat tonight to write a decent poem, but somebody better come help me keep this thread alive!

zerothehero

i love the good folks at sr
you became my warm sober bar
but it's a new dawn
and i'm moving on
i'm not often here but never far✌🏻️

Soberwolf

I have a neckache but I refuse to let it get me down

I like a frown when it's upside down

I don't own a unicorn but if I did this easter I would grant you a wish

Sober is one thing happy is another tea is relaxing so is holding each other

So this easter I am improvising on the spot just so you know I care for you guys a lot

Soberwolf

Love the life you give sobriety is the ultimate accepted gift

Feels like a pair of wings given at dawn where angels sing your life is born

Remember this isn't forever sobriety will keep getting better & better

Know this day and hold it near they all build up throughout the year

Tomorrow will be three years no weed
I'd pass if I had a test where I peed
I wouldn't have to worry when they gave me a cup
I'd know the results before they showed up
Although a drug test I don't really need

Still it's nice to think of all the ways I'm now free
And I really like my sober life and my sober me
Last night I went back and I read
From the limericks part 2 thread
How different things used to be

Drinking and smoking had their bad times
But early recovery was far from sublime
Reading back, I remember the mood swings
And having to face so many painful things
So many times I came here to whine in rhyme

It's almost painful to look back until I remember to see
How much strength and determination I had in me
It might have been pretty painful and tough
But the tenacity I showed once I decided I'd had enough
Is a better thing to focus on than the painful memories

I don't spend much time looking back anyway
I focus on the life I'm building today
I snuggle up with S, or we go ride bikes
Or go camping and on some hikes
It's almost hard to believe life was any other way

And I have to say I'm missing my limerick friends
Almost 4 months since anyone popped in!
So if you're still anywhere near, please post in here
Let us all know you're still clear of the wine and beer
Please don't let this thread come to an end!

zerothehero

there once was a man who wrote poems to stay sane
while the alcohol and other drugs slowly cleared his brain
now he leans more toward prose
as his clarity grows
nothing much lost and so much more left to gain

zerothehero

just posting to say that i am still here
and i haven't been drinking whisky, wine, or beer
those days are long passed
they just couldn't last
the trick is to face and embrace dread and fear

DG0409

Hi Zero!

I'm still here too, although it's rare I stop by. Glad to see a limerick from you today, even though you wrote it a few weeks ago.

zerothehero

i drove a hearse for a funeral today
and the church made me want to run away
but i did my part
and opened my heart
and managed to keep judgment at bay

There was this guy that got burnt
booze and blackout, but he then soon learnt
that life still goes on
right now , past is gone
stay sober, rewards will be learnt.

(yes I know - but it rhymes!)
