    Circling The Drain

    Hangovers used to be the norm Despair tastes bitter at sunrise Uncomfortable before the storm With no intention of compromise   Fine details will slowly fade away A small price for hanging out late Once intoxicated it’s hard to stray No chaser when shooting straight   Got carried away...

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Bat. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I’m doing alright. Nice to see you around again. Just read your new posts, great to read your work again. Hope you’re doing well brother. Appreciate you.

    • Okay, so this one took me somewhere unexpected. I had the sense of a long battle, a truce that ends the fight but not the enmity…so the enemy is kept within sight. No idea why that’s where this took me. My sister has been sober about the same length of time as you and she keeps a partial bottle of liquor up on top of her cabinet to remind her the enemy is real and not dead. She never touches it, but it reminds her of the darkness it carried, the times she lost and the gains she’s made. Keep the enemy in sight but don’t engage. That takes enormous strength, my friend

    • Dude, I continue to enjoy a few Beam and gingers here and there. I don’t go out nearly as much as I used to, actually barely I’d say. But, I have learned that control is my friend. As much as I enjoy the time out with friends, etc, I know that there is a rational limit to it all. The best part is how much money I’ve saved! Really. I have a future/goals and now understand priorities much clearer. I never thought I had a problem, until I realized how much time and money as used up in it all.
      That and how most bar friends can be quite fickle.
      Your write is on point. The characters we encounter, the thoughts, the situations… all of it.

    • You feel the weight of sadness in this one. pretend it is not a knock at a window. Shows how alone you felt

      • The ending, I changed at the last minute, and you pictured it perfectly. Thanks for letting me know that it hits.
        And you keep kicking butt!

    • It’s just creative writing Brenda, I promise! I try to mix up the subjects and such. I don’t want to be too predictable!

    • Hello Tim!
      This is not current event material. I’m mixing up my subject matter here and there, so as not to be too typical, yaknow?
      Sometimes I read something and it inspires me to write my own thing from it. I get motivated by reading!

    • Thanks Damian. Me and Del are good! I just like to take my writing in different directions, like most of us do. I’m always learning and adapting, I hope.

    • But you are in my head when I write. When are you NOT in my head? LOL. I was going back and forth on this one, as far as how lyrical to make it. I forget what song I was listening to, that got me going on it. But eh, I’m leaving it as is for a bit. You know me!
      And you know that I love you too babydoll. Smooch!
