PLAYING IN THE RAIN, Dave Luckwell [13 inch ebook reader txt] 📗

who lost.
The alcohol now only makes me drunk when I havent got any.
When I drink , I can think.

I am the man who condemed alcohol and its evils
The man who stayed sober , who drank little to be polite.
I am the man who is failing , asking for help but getting ridicule and false pity.
I feel empty and alone.

I am an alcoholic,


Finally admitting that I had a drink problem hit me hard. like a fallen albatross I plumetted to the ground every emotion smashing into the hard , cold floor.
It is June 2011 and I am now in a deep depression and spiraling ever further down , I dont know which way to turn because everything is closing in on me. Debt's , alcohol , work pressure's and pressures due to all of the above at home.


A Step in the right direction


Step right up my heart is singing
I've got a girl I've got to love
Step right up my heart is ringing
like a bell from heaven above.

Talk to me ,
Hold me in your arm's
Make love to me
with your fatal charm's.

I wanna hold you through the night
make love till the morning light
Then when the day has come
I'll be gone banging my drum

Step right up my heart is singing
I've got a girl I've got to love
Step right up my heart is ringing
like a bell from heaven above.


Lola Pagodda

Her limp and whimper say it all,
With dark brown eye's her obedience is non-existent but her her loyalty is profound.
She is no ordinary dog , she is Lola.
A runt at birth , unwanted and unloved,
now a member of the family , loved greatly.

Crushed by a car and left to die,
lola still manages to turn your eye.
The vet wanted £20 to kill her, put her to sleep, to be kind ?
She is Olivia's baby , worth the £1500 she cost to fix.

She is a mother to BooBoo , so big and strong.
They , together terrify the postman , any man in a shirt and tie.
They are cwtchy , loving and playful.
They bark and shout and always want food.
Lola Pagodda the baby , the dog , the friend.
