OK so I don't go
To prosecco or gin days Because to be frank, I can't drink anymore. My body rejects it. Even when everyone Thought I had thrown My life away again When I was tired of being A skivvy and a slave, It was four a day, Six at the peak, For about six months. That's quite pathetic really. That's what writers Are supposed to do right? Drink and then get sober. I guess my destructive drive Is not that destructive after all. I have a couple of bottles Of lager on a weekend And that's my lot. No spirits. No wine. Fruit cider gives me heartburn So no thank you. Last edited by Lunatyc; Nov 13, 2020 at 01:51 PM.. |

So, it may have been a temporary scenario for you and it's good this phase has passed. During this time though, and the amount you were drinking, you did develop a drinking problem. Therefore, in this scenario, alcohol was abused. |

I can relate. I at least that much for a few years back in m youth. I'm lucky I didn't die from alcohol poisoning the way I drank though. I blacked out more than a few times. I like your poem.

Regardless how you want to slice it, it was a problem you chose to overcome.. or you'd still be doing it and not write posts about it. Was this a poem? I didn't notice. If so, I'd reconsider the title, as I found the content to contradict it. |

I was self medicating. I wanted to not feel anymore. Until I could blot out the pain.
I had tried so hard to get my life back on track and it still fell apart. Along with a messed up up-bringing, I had been in an abusive relationship with someone who had left me a nervous wreck. Sometimes you have to hit the bottom before you can build back up again. |

a book may give them a glimpse and some insight into the real feeling's but they will never know. Last edited by Lunatyc; Nov 29, 2020 at 05:33 AM.. |

Why is mixing milk and meat forbidden?
Milk represents birth - New born babies. Meat represents death - Animals must be slaughtered. |
