My Little Pony
Was nothing but a phoney

I couldn't sit upon its back
I tried and tried until it cracked

My Little Pony
Was nothing but a phoney

So now I sit and play
      all day
With the box it came in

(Who knew that cardboard tasted so good! No wonder Daddy loves Mom's meatloaf so much! Who knew?!)

Irony
If you know how to use the word
              Pedantic,
      You probably are.

Still Amazed at My Almost 30 Years of Sobriety

I am going to go on a little rant here so be forewarned.

Since when do I need to apologize for having almost 30 years of sobriety?  I have been an active member of a 12 step program for almost 30 years. For awhile now I have gone to meetings where it seems ok for people to announce that they have 22 months of sobriety or 13 months of sobriety but if I even mention that I have been sober for a "long time" someone feels it necessary to give a lecture about how we live one day at a time and people with long-term sobriety are no different than someone with one day. That it is arrogant to talk about having long-term sobriety.  I agree I am no different but I do have the benefit of my own experience today.  I no longer have to rely on the promises of others that things do get better. I can assure the newcomer that if they hold on things will get better from my own experience as others did for me when I was newly sober.
