i gave up drinking
and took up photography

yet i’m still stumbling around
looking for that next damn shot

We all love those shots of adrenalin and ways to find value and give meaning to our lives. Alcohol is a way of self medicating in response to challenges, a way of coping when overwhelmed etc but proves to be detrimental to health. Your poems and photography have bettered, enriched and inspired many. May your photo opps continue! 😍✨

Thanks so much, Shelley! Yea, if I could drink with no bad side effects, I would, but life is better without it for some of us

I don’t think I will ever give up drinking because I take better photos after a shot or two.
Thanks for sharing.

You are most welcome. Yes, I learned in my twenties that excessive drinking wasn’t for me. Now, it’s a rare occasion if I do, and one will do! 😊
