Abstention

I don't understand
What part of you thinks
That you're some kind of big man
Whenever you drink

Don't get me wrong, I'm no killjoy
And I love a good time
But I don't turn into an arsehole
After a bottle of wine

I know any chemical
Booze, pills, fairy dust
Can alter the psyche
And there's few you can trust-

to not mess with your head
If you don't know any better
And one look at the state of you
Shows you're no trendsetter

Just a real bad example
Of what such 'pleasures' can do
Mind altering substances
It seems really don't suit you

So my advice, should you take it
Is to simply abstain
From such participation
I'd advocate you refrain

So tonight, give it a try
You've a chance to save face
By avoiding yet another
Spectacular fall from grace.

Ex-alcoholic

I went to the bar. To get me a drink. It wasn't the type. That you'll all think. In goes the whiskey. Lager and rum. Top up with vodka. Now isn't this fun. Pour in some extras. Bitter and coke.

Sometimes

Sometimes I'm not perfect. Sometimes I'm broken. Does that make me different. Can I reach the goals I make. If you use criticism on me. Can I ever go beyond the stars with you.

Thank You

My posts aren't always happy or funny. (Although sometimes a little sexy) :) I hope that my followers can read the rawness of some of my words and I am very thankful for their patience with me.

An Apology

I have been quiet over the past few days, or could be weeks, I forget. I haven't really written anything, liked anything or reported anything for two reasons.... 1. Had my hands full 2.

Incomplete

When dreams get lost. And the heart gets stolen. As time passes by, life leaves you broken. When you build your self up. Just to break yourself down. When you hold it in. No matter how you've been.

Remember

When the world gets too tough. You feel depressed and rough. From being in and out of love. Remember we are all made from all the same stuff. When you stumble upon some luck.

@Nom Thank you & v.grateful for RP. I'm a big fan of words see @Burrfoot 's 'A Ditty' post!) & like to use alternatives where possible. It's a fine balance however, between alienating your readers & looking like a smart arse! In this case I felt it fitted. Glad you liked πŸ˜‰πŸ˜˜

@glen Now funny/unfunny I can cope with! It's the sarcastic, shite-spouting, flouncy crap I can't bear😑Glad you like it & thanks for the monkeys!πŸ˜„πŸ˜˜

@Fly10 my girlfriends mums boyfriend is like that, some people shouldn't drink it certainly can bring out the worse in people 🍺😝

@glen Couldn't agree moreπŸ˜‰

@Fly10 this is sooooo very true...a great write...I know tooooooo many people unfortunately who turn into tits when they drink too much...just hate it....I'm a happy mushy drunk, but then I don't drink to get smashed these days...just a few to get me merry:):):)

@misslittleDHP My days of binging to see how twisted I could get, have also passed! Had some great, funny & memorable times, but also did some REALLY stupid stuff too, so don't miss them. I can't face the hangovers these days! Different when you've got kids too isn't it? No days in bed recoveringπŸ˜– Turns out however, I can have just as much fun sober! Which makes instances of which I've written, even more annoying...πŸ˜‰

Aarghh! bingeing not binging!@misslittleDHP

@misslittleDHP 😘 for RP x

@Fly10 sooo true...kids and hangovers don't mix at all....lol....like you I've done some wild things over booze...had some fab nights and not so fab nights...but drinking to get wasted just doesn't appeal now!:):)

@Fly10 I know this is on your thread but just had to share this with you as I've just checked my mobile and my dad has finally got in touch and left me a voicemail message...don't know whether you had read my dear dad poems?...I've been so worried that I finally decided to write a letter to him and his wife as I hadn't heard anything for months from him, all I knew was that he was really ill...can't believe I missed his call

@misslittleDHP NO! I've followed your story closely. That's wonderful isn't it? Your heart must be pounding & emotions running high-I can't begin to imagine what you must be feeling. I'm SO happy for you though! I know you'd kind of closed the door on it & given up hope. How ironic, after the nature of your post & our conversation tonight though?! 😘😘😘😘😘😘

@Fly10 I know...very ironic...hope he calls today now bless him...I really had given up...never thought I would hear from him again...I'm never deleting that voicemail as it was good to hear his voice....thanks for listening my sweet xxx

@misslittleDHP Sorry only just replying-apart from quick post I've been offline most of day. I completely understand you keeping voicemail 😌 Is there no way though, that you can call him back?😚

@Fly10 no he only switches the silly thing on to call me!

@misslittleDHP How frustrating! Will keep my fingers, legs, toes crossed for you, that he calls again soon lady. Thinking of you 😘

@Fly10 thanks my darling xxxx

@misslittleDHP Gonna delete comments if that's ok, as it's your personal stuff, & perhaps not for all to view. You cool with that?😘

@Fly10 that's fine my sweet xxx
