love
and
drunken lust
so easily confused
that one, wild, weekend bender
leaves her wishing, nine months down the line
that she’d signed the pledge
and embraced sobriety
while another
baby
cries

It’s pretty commom hereabouts. It wasn’t really what I wanted to say, but I couldn’t fit what I was supposed to be writing about into the constraints I’d made for myself. Maybe I’ll have give myself a bit more space and have another go.

Haha, nice. I remember this guy I once worked with said, “alcohol is more of a relationship toggle”. It could help, or it could hurt.

So much truth in that. It fits for so many, whether it was within your constraints or not.
