      Sound Advice

      Being an alcoholic has levels Cul-de-sac’s and rabbit holes Navigating through quicksand While the mind is sinking slow   Walking amongst shadows The lines often get blurred It’s a pity party at the gallows Where good ideas go to die   Suffocating light with resent While madness stirs the drink Slurring...

      • hello dearest Damian I was an alcoholic for awhile it was a very painful experience…I would often write things I was ashamed of later when sober… this describes it perfectly great write 💕

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Brenda. So glad you connected with the write my friend. It is a painful experience, indeed. Been there before, being ashamed of some of my writes. My vault has lots of poems, lyrics, and ideas. I even possess a lot of my old notebooks, including the very first one. I don’t share from that book, it was really bad. lol. But I also have a section of writes where I don’t even know who that person is, when I was drunk and depressed I was a mess. Those works are kept as a reminder of how bad my state of living was. Appreciate you.

      • My mother was an alcoholic. She’d go out and start fights with my father when she came home. It was a miserable existence for me and my father. Although I never drank or took drugs I can relate to this somewhat. It’s obvious no one could write this without experience. I’m glad you’re still doing good.

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Tim. So glad you connected with the write my friend. You know what it’s all about then, just from a different point of view. Alcoholics are often guilty of hurting those closest to them. In our minds we’re only hurting ourselves, not realizing that those who love us are a casualty of the disease as well. Thank you, brother. I never want to be that person again. Appreciate you.

          Damian

      • Your a super talented dude. Glad you kicked alcohol. You’re a treasure to have as a friend and as a poet.

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Keith. So glad you connected with the write my friend. You’re not the only one, I don’t miss those days. Right back at you, brother. Appreciate you.

          Damian

      • My daughter struggles with her alcohol addiction. And my roommate struggles with it. I often wonder what this world is doing to us with numbers so high. It’s rarely “just for kicks” that addiction exists. This one makes me think. Well done, my friend

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I think for me it started as an escape, then in it seeped into my writing, at one time I actually thought I couldn’t write without booze. Like I said, there are layers to addiction. I understand their struggles, it’s not easy to let go of something that becomes part of one’s being. Appreciate you.

          Damian

      • You well describe this kind of madness that comes with alcoholism. I used to be there, hearing those words, “You shouldn’t drink so much”. Often, they were my own words. “Pity party at the gallows”–I like that. Many end up swingin’.

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Sam. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I don’t miss those days in my life, and there were many of them unfortunately. I dig that line as well. Always an honor to meet a fellow survivor. Appreciate you.

          Damian

      • I rarely touch a drop (my brother had a huge drink problem) but because of my line of work (I once used to lead up to around a dozen alc detoxes per week .. some of them taking up to 10 days to complete safely, I know the horrors associated with alcohol addiction .. and the risks associated with it .. and the problem staying off when dry .. I take my hat off to you Damian and so much enjoyed my visit here just now .. Neville

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Neville. So glad you connected with the write my friend. You’ve faced it from a different point of view, which means you’ve witnessed those horrors in realtime my friend. Part of sobriety has been digging deep into my psyche, to understand my ticks and how they make me tick. lol. And not take myself so seriously all the time, try to enjoy the moment and not overanalyze every damn thing. Easier said than done, but I try. Thanks for your heartfelt commentary, means a lot to me. I’m glad you enjoyed the visit, and continue to support my work. Appreciate you.

        I can vibe a whole poem to this alone, my bro
        It all resonates with me.

        Much respect

      Acquitting Sin

      • Right from the X posts to the Headlines. Radical right meets radical left – everyone in between pays the price! I’m going to end here but I’m coming back with a link to one I wrote.

        • Thanks so much for reading, Paula. This write is just an observation, it’s not about left or right, blue or red, donkey or elephant to me. It’s more good vs. evil in my opinion. It’s about wealthy vs. poor. Most politicians are owned by someone, a corporation, a wealthy 1% family. Sure I used the word leftist, but it can be whatever at the end of the day. But that was the flavor I was going for was money and power equals no accountability. Appreciate you.

          Damian

      • Damian great write but the buffoons that run the world aren’t listening.
        Too busy making money by any means possible.
        Lies have become the truth and truth lies.
        Orwell saw it coming.

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Peter. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I agree they aren’t listening, and making billions. We’re going to have Trillionaire’s soon, corruption is all that’s trickling down in the end. It is topsy-turvy, everything has been turned on it’s head. Appreciate you.

          Damian

      • It doesn’t surprise me that rich people try to screw over the poor. What surprises me is how many people are so happy to get screwed while complaining that they have hard lives. They want war. They want blood because some people disagree or just tell them reality. It’s wild.

        Great ink

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Nick. So glad you connected with the write my friend. It seems the more I observe humanity, that there are people who look for scapegoats, especially the wealthy 1%. Such vampires. lol. Appreciate you.

        When there’s so words of my own to describe something I go back to the Master

        That’s happening a lot lately …

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Speak. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Love the Dylan quote. Great song as well. Can’t go wrong with Mr. Zimmerman. I get spells of that sometimes. Appreciate you.

          Damian

      • I believe this one will only continue to become more relevant as long as they wealthy hold the keys to freedom. Unfortunately. An reverse Robin Hood situation we got going on. I swe things happening & quietly write down my suspicion on their next crime. I wish I wasn’t right so often. And you…prophet. I hope it’s not too late & the scales can still be tipped, my friend

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I couldn’t agree with you more. It is Robin Hood in reverse. The world has gone all topsy-turvy lately, the lines are blurred. I wish I wasn’t right so often, actually I would loved to be proved wrong on a lot of things. I hope so as well my friend. Appreciate you.

      • Well, that was an event, and I think you still did not pass that bulb since you still light up my friend. Enjoyed this piece. Oh, I do not like tomatoed based baked beans either. lol

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Fia. So glad you connected with the story my friend. Well, thank you! What a thoughtful compliment, cuz. I like baked beans either way, but I do think it’s better without a tomato base. Appreciate you.

          Damian

      • I enjoyed this from beginning to end. I’d say your grandmother is still keeping an eye on you, my friend. She must know something…

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you enjoyed the story my friend. Maybe someday I’ll know for sure. Appreciate you.

          Damian

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Mary. So glad you connected with the write my friend. It hit me that way, while I was writing it. It was a very authentic moment. Appreciate you.

        Damian

      • Some of the best writing you have ever shared with us. Sensational and held my interest. Nice work Damian.

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Keith. So glad you enjoyed the story my friend. Well, guess that means I’m getting better at this gig. Appreciate you.

          Damian

      • I thoroughly enjoyed this story, Damian. I love the simplistic history that makes us all humans deep down, no matter if we try to hide it.
        I have very vivid memories of one of my grannies. She was a tiny firecracker. Snap a chicken’s neck and yet tend to our little boo-boos with TLC with the same hand.
        Burger Chef rocked!
        Wonderfully vivid write, it kept me enthralled.

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Mark. So glad you enjoyed the story my friend. Cool, somebody remembers Burger Chef. lol. It is the simple things in our histories, that really show our similarities as human beings, couldn’t agree with you more. Grannies, are just different, in a good way. Appreciate you.
