Drinking is not for me- Poem

I am sharing a poem I just wrote, it was something I had to do and I wanted to share with you all.. It might not be a poem that rhymes but all poems don't have too. I hope you enjoy it!

Constantly calling you late and drunk
My voice lavish with hurt and pain
I forcefully tell you what is on my mind
No matter how it sounds on your end
While holding a bottle of vodka
I keep drinking when I hear no voice on the other side
Lonely, scared, is there any hope for me
Blacking out doing things I don’t remember.
Is it time to get help, or is this a long dream of aching discomfort.
Waking up it’s another day
Another bottle looking at me
Should I take a drink or should I throw it away.
Again and again
Over and Over
Something got to change
I need a new page
To quit for good, I say
I am Alcoholic and drinking is not for me


From Jen Hill

Love the poem I can certainly echo feeling like this whilst drinking. After reading your other post I can tell you suffer from huge bouts of anxiety. I do too, have you looked into counseling or medication. I am finally taking medication again, and leaving the house for once. Anxiety is crushing and has led me to drink many times. I think addressing your anxiety might help you to find more suitable outlets of release other than drinking.

I have been to Counseling and been on medication, I did pretty good when I was on Lexapro until I felt I needed to have a higher dose and it prevent me to feel my emotions. I couldn't cry, get mad, or anything. I thought that wasn't healthy for me.

I had a few good counseling, but I moved here to Indiana and I been too a few here but I felt that they weren't so good.

I have suffer from a lot of anxiety, and the anxiety is stopping to do things in life. The people in my life that I known for a long time, never notice of my anxiety until the past months in my life.

If I can get over this hump of anxiety then I can be ease and enjoy life.
