Will
Out with friends last night for dinner
They want to know if I'm still not drinking
I reply that I am not
They spend the rest of the happy hour teasing me
to have just one drink
WTF
They are relatively new friends
and have seen me in my not so dry times
It's understandable and harmless
Still it's slightly annoying
Anyone who knows me well
Knows my will
I'm hardly ever driven by other's patterns
Do what you want
Just don't get any on me
Listening to Jason Isbell's new album
This dude talks to me
It's playing on my vintage music system in my living room
Nobody listens to music out loud anymore
Everyone is plugged into their own isolation tank
Detox is pretty easy these days
It's not a diet as much as a lifestyle change
Had an unsweetened iced green tea with dinner
In a fancy highball glass no less
I'm complete

~ I am not a fan of disrespect...new friends indeed...if they knew you better
they would know you're not such a fan of it either...
I'm enjoying music right now as well....out loud while singing along...unplugged...
so freeing!

Good for you, Poet. I've had "friends" like that as well. Those who don't want to see you change for the better, but stay like them.
They don't know that Scorpio Will, do they?

I don't have real life friends for that very reason - don't have the time or the patience :-(
you were tested and you had success :-) Keep it going mate:-)

If I was in Scotland, I'd come visit you, hope you'll make an exception for me

Great job not giving in to peer pressure. As long as your happy being you & are strong in a situation such as that you keep doing you. The way you were laughed at though...what bullies thinking that they could get you to give in...SMH! Keep making good decisions & writing great poems. Looking forward to reading more.

I listen to music out loud. Sweetens the air. And as the wise shadoe recently told me, music is to share. I've got mad respect for your will. Anyone who pushes the edges of it is just plain disrespectful. Frowning at them and smiling at you and your will. Respectful like
