My day in a "poem"shell

My Fellow Houstonians:

For me to help cope with life's everyday turmoils that come my way, I find comfort in blogging.  If you're walking down the street and pass by me, you would never notice the battles that I endure on a daily basis of wanting to take a drink.  I can only hope that my triumphs and tribulations will give hope to those out there who deal with what Im going through on an everyday basis.  I try not to make it a habit of  "seeking unwanted attention" but I was told many years ago, whatever it takes to make it through another day sober, then do it.  Today was a very challenging day for me, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.  So with that said, I give you..............My Day in a "Poem"shell.

Today was a day I wanted a drink,
I could've cared less nor wanted to think
about the consequences I would later have to pay,
and thought to myself, "I'll deal with it another day."

I cried many tears of anger,
thinking thoughts that would only cause danger.
I stormed out the building and hopped in my car,
driving like a maniac in search of a near bar.

I thought to myself, "It's only today."
"A drink or two and I'll be ok."
Before I got out, I picked up the phone
and cried out in help, "I can't be alone."

I vented and screamed as my face turned pulp red,
I wanted to drink until I was dead.
Then all of the sudden a friend told me stop
and take time to remember everything you got.

It's only today that you're feeling this way,
tomorrow will come and be a new day.
My prayer for today is that I make it through,
without a drink and having friends just like you.

GDub.

Friends, this poem didn't come out of a book.  It was events that actually took place today in my life.  It was a very challenging day but it was a day that I chose to face everything without drinking.  Thank you for allowing me to share with you...........My Day in a "Poem"shell.

thoroughly enjoyed the poem and i can tell it came from way deep within. glad you got through the day ok. think of all the hangover headaches you're preventing, the money you're saving, and the foolish behavior you're avoiding. no more having to say "i'm sorry". no more forgetting what you might have done. enjoy each new day of spring as a new day sober and embrace the good feeling of sobriety. and don't be too hard on yourself. God Bless ya man!

Thibulous,

I can always count on you for words of inspiration and encouragement. Thank you so much for being a good "blog" friend. Waking up in the morning without a hangover has never felt any better than the way I've felt these past few months. Take care next week. Im going on vacation but will try to pop in and blog here and there. I have 3 main objectives for my vacation: sleeping in late, fishing, and relaxing! God Bless Ya!

Great poem. I haven't actually written this in any one's blog, but I'm feeling inspired to share from your poem.

Last weekend (1:30 a.m. on Fri March 14) my sister was found blue in her bathroom by her husband. He called 911 and started rescue breathing (he had found a groin pulse). She has been addicted to prescription medication for at least 4-5 years now, worse in the last 2 years. Her 6-year-old daughter witnessed everything. She hasn't reached bottom yet. I've heard her say nothing this week that says, "I'm an addict and I need help."

I have had enormous challenges in my life but this is the first time I've truly felt helpless. I know from my father dying of alcoholism that you can't help a person unless they are willing to admit they have a problem. Her husband thinks he is going to control her addiction by giving her her medication at their appointed times. I've found a Nar-Anon (like Ala-Non)I think that is what it is called, that meets locally here in The Woodlands. It is during my work shift at night, but I think I might be able to get away for this. The only thing I can do is make sure I don't enable her and continue to love her. She lives in NJ. They discharged her on Wednesday.

I admire your courage to share such a vulnerable side of yourself to us. You know you have a safe haven here. I think Easter is the perfect time to be reminded how much Christ loves us, how much He is always with you. You walk a path everyday that most of us don't understand. I would imagine it is probably like fighting a demon. Congratulations on making
