Suit up, Show up I stand naked, paralyzed, unable to reach my intended destination or any destination at all. Goose flesh is no real motivation and I am reluctant to use the prod having only produced resistance and reversals with past applications of this weapon. Entreatment might work if only I could find the right one; then again anything might work if it were a fit. Covering my all-together is an action; taken judiciously it sometimes is all the arrival I can manage, taken disingenuously it precludes the chance for any further forward motion and may create set back or retreat. I should not attempt to hide fear with wardrobe though I can try to warm it. Façade building is best done with a bottle in tow reality is best faced with a sponsor by my side. Acknowledge pain, acknowledge joy * OLD BEARS Cold and Despondent Nothing comforts me like the bear of early sobriety Bought on a day I thought I would shake apart This fuzzy old guy has been a display item, For many years now, Tucked to the corner with the lace edged pillows and folded shawls. Jittery and Sleepless It's easy to panic. I turn and see the amber eyes waiting for my embrace His body clothed in a hand knit child's sweater made by a friend The warmth of this snuggle is more than comfort It is also the acceptance of loss. Quelling the dramatic highs and lows of the beginning cost many things And the depth of this is not lost in the moment. Alone in my bed the passageways to the future appear to me I must rest and then walk on I cannot stall or simper, plain work is before me And simple old bears a consolation.

Looking at the Sober on The Way to Sane excerpts and the More Sober on The Way to Sane, and the block format and the poetry format.
The 2010 change to post both block and poetry just doubled the work. Looking at your writing every day for many years now, I realized how exceptional you are. Inspiring others that have your books within reach, and read when the darkness comes and the sun shines in their windows. Thank you for your servicem, and for keeping the light on every day. |

I can't tell you how much Sherrie's words mean to me ... some days they cut, some days they comfort, but always they make me think. And, somehow, it always seems to be exactly what I need at just the right moment! I don't know how you do it ... but I'm so glad that you do.  Thank you Sherrie, and thank you Tommi ... you are both an inspiration to me. p.s. Last week (3/11/10) was my two-year anniversay, but I wasn't posting much because I was very busy cuddling my Dakota  after her surgery. It's easy for me to remember the date I quit drinking, since it was on my actual birthday ... and it's the best gift that I could give myself.

JUST FOR TODAY
I'll take my inventory just for today just for today... I'll stay sober and clean just for today... my disease won't run my life I'll go to a meeting just for today just for today... honesty and trust will guide me just for today... I'll share my experience, strength, and hope Quickly, I'll make amends just for today just for today... I'll leave nothing undone just for today... I'll admit to being powerless 12 steps will guide me just for today just for today... I'll listen more than I speak just for today... I'll be willing to learn My Higher Power will guide me just for today just for today... I'll pray and meditate just for today... I'll be gracious for my gift Tonight I'll go to bed sober just for today just for today... I'll remember I still have a choice just for today... yesterday will be in the past I won't worry about tomorrow just for today just for today... I'll see the world with a child’s eyes just for today... I'll live... for today And when tomorrow comes I'll realize... that just for today I'll once again have a clean slate just for today... ©2007DaveHarm |

Malaria Flailing, reaching, screaming; hiding, avoiding, misdirecting, theses are subsets in a list of extremes whose commonality is lacking, lacking humility. I fall to pieces just thinking of standing exposed, imperfect and unprotected. I’m not sure what I think will happen to me in this posture; instantaneous death? Couldn’t be, I’m not that lucky, nor am I foolish enough to think that I am that lucky. Possibly, I fear rancorous humiliation, but really who is powerful enough to do that to me? I know and like myself well enough to deflect obvious flying nonsense, so what is it that I do flee? I think it is the endless grinding inelegance of life, the stinging nettled nature of things, my inability to weave my way around my weakness and slip into the open unpoisoned. I fear exchanging peace for failure. Humility is when I know I cannot fail. Be conscience of judgment and try not to react to it * WET BLANKET I have carried this sodden thing with me all my life. It's weight a burden for numerous years, I have never been able to explain my continuing drag of this pitiful thing Though it has been commended on by many. My fidelity is boundless In spite of inner questions and doubts. Now that the fire is here I am glad to have it. I pull it over me and step into the fray. Thick and moist, I somehow struggle under its influence And am able to do what others, bare of my encumbrance, cannot I don't believe I can quench all the flames but I hope to help some to safety And bat down the encroaching inferno a bit.
