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.

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.

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.

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.
