Thought I write a little poem with a bit of humor to celebrate my 12 weeks of sobriety.
Twelve Weeks
It's been 12 weeks
since I've taken a drink
seems like forever
I keep telling my shrink
I've ranted and raved
been happy,then sad
I've begged and I've cried
got the poor husband ,drove mad
I've been up,I've been down
eating chocolate galore
there's not enough ice cream
to go around anymore
some days are wonderful
some days they just stink
some days I'm real thirsty
cause I just want to drink
I've had cravings so bad
I wondered the cause
I've been told its mouthwash
or maybe the PAWS
Even a full moon
can make a girl think
not of love and affection
but of the wine she could drink
whatever the reason
my ARG friends help me through
that is why for my 12 weeks
I THANK ALL of you.!
thank you all for your support....Marie aka pirate
Happy 90 days/12 weeks!!!! I am so proud of you.
Loved the poem! One thing, what are PAWS?
Congrats again. I know it hasn't always been easy, but dang it, icecream or chocolate has never driven anyone to jails, institutions, or death that I know of!!! ;)
Hugs.

Hi Zipper. Thanks. PAWS is post acute withdrawal symptoms
Got it! Thanks for the clarification.
I was lucky and didn't experience physical withdrawal symptoms. The emotional withdrawal was and still can be difficult.

Good for you, Marie. Nice poem.
Hi Pirate,
Congratulations On Three Months Of Continued Sobriety!!!! Woo Hoo For You!!!
I know your road has had boulders, rocks, and holes in them. They've also had smooth streets and sunny days. Go a head and buy some stocks in Ben and Jerry's ice cream or research which company owns who in the desert industry thats performing well these days. Then you can enjoy not only the deserts, but profits too.
I want you to know what a blessing you've been in my life and how your life's adversities have shown me that no matter what, we don't have to drink that first drink just for today. You are a shining example of a strong woman. A woman who relies on God for strength to overcome painful days filled to the brim with anxiety.
You have strengthened my recovery journey Marie. I Thank You, for sharing your story, your painful struggles, as it can't be easy. Please know that if there's anything I can do to help you I will. I will continue to keep you and your family in my prayers. Remember you are never alone and it shows! Again, congrats on your 12 weeks of sobriety!!!
God Bless You
Love Your Friend,
