Hi guys, Here's a poem I wrote today. I hope you enjoy. Don't worry I don't feel like this today. Just practicing my writing.

Barb


Some days really suck being sober.
I wish I could drink again.
Some days life really sucks. But we have to go on.
I wish I didn’t have responsibilities. But we all have and do.

Some days really suck being sober.
I wish I could drink again.
I wish some days that I could be a kid again. But then again I don’t.
Some days I get really tired. But I know I have to keep moving.

Some days really suck being sober.
I wish I could drink again.
I hate being a grown up and having to do things for myself.
I hate having to take care of myself. But if I don’t who will?

Some days really suck being sober.
And I don’t want to drink again.
Life will get better. I just have to have faith.

Some days really suck being sober.
But it’s still better then drunk. Things will get better.
Have patience. It works.

Thanks scaredy!
Your timing is awesome!
I just had coffee with my old drinking buddy....and I was kinda missing the "good ol' days"

I liked it Barb! Every day in sobriety ain't perfect, but it sure beats drinking again!

By the 4th stanza, "I wish I could drink again" becomes "And I don't want to drink again", so your poem comes to a good conclusion! Those are the same things I say to myself almost every day. Barb, I feel the day will come when the thought of drinking again doesn't enter our minds, & we won't wish for those old days. Thank you for sharing your poem with us! Write more!
