Excellent rhyming and rhythm with emotional pull. An excellent piece that a lot of people will relate to. Milly x

It really appears that the opportunity to drink comes right in front of you when you are trying to avoid it as much as possible, Nams. Do not worry so much, as things will be better soon. As Brenda puts it, step forward and backward but you are definitely going there.

A strong and raw write, charged with genuine feelings.

Excellent expressed and keep on writing. There is hope. All the very best.

You know, USB, there's a story I once heard about a man going through troubles of his own.

Every day he'd wake up to the same thing. He'd have the same breakfast, drive the same route to work, get there at the same time and get home all the same. Everything was the same. He lived life like a math equation - questions only had one answer. It was black, white and boring. But one day, something changed. His routine was broken because of a flat tyre. The flat tyre made him late to work. Being late to work made him have to finish work later. That day, things went wrong one after another and he hated it. It was just one of those days.

He got the tyre fixed early the next morning, and the rest of the day ran like clockwork. But there was something different about the same routine he was used to. See, he was happy about his regular day, because he had that horrible yesterday to compare it to.

Point being: things will fall here and there, and so do we. We are not angels or prophets. Pick yourself up and try again. If you lasted a week the first time, aim for an extra couple of days next time and slowly build up.

Just my s***ty 2 cents worth :)

Naomi, well

A very well done acrostic which is emotional, powerful and somewhat saddening but it's extremely well with the rhyming too.. Mr Darcy once said acrostics are hard when done well but to rhyme them too is astoundingly difficult (or something along those lines) you did both so in Brendas words "you nailed it"

Take care
