live and let… live

1 Comment 15 May 2012

Overheard at 12 step meetings for the last 21 years (yes by me. hmmph. i just celebrated my 40th birthday… bleck) My pigeon just fired me. She shouldn’t be dressing that way. He hasn’t a snowballs chance in hell of staying clean. They just don’t work the steps right. I am god and you are [...]

stop it.

1 Comment 02 May 2012

    We all get into jumbled messes… in our heads especially. Step 10 (yes I know I talk about this one ALL the time… shushit) tells me that I am to examine MY behavior. Yes – everyday. Yes – I can’t look at you anymore and blame you for my ‘stuff’. That’s all well [...]

I’m sooooooooo happy! I LOVE RECOVERY!!! (hey wait a minute I say that. shushit.) Well. ahem. I’m here to tell [...]

perspective

0 Comments 12 April 2012

So I’ve been working my ever loving arse off this week, seeing as I’m all bound up (in an abdominal binder post surgery) in the house not able to do much of anything at all. I’ve been utilizing this down time to make a fiscal shift; pretty much Google AdSense isn’t cutting the mustard (or the dough) [...]

stick with the winners?

9 Comments 08 April 2012

    Who exactly ARE these “winners” that everyone keeps talking about sticking with??? I mean really… how do you know who to talk to or whom you should run the hell away from? People can appear to be anything they choose …  at first. Appearances are deceiving and talk is a cheap 10 dollar [...]

your song

0 Comments 20 March 2012

A bird doesn’t sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song. Lou Holtz I came across this quote tonight and it hit me like a brick house. Sometimes we get SO busy trying to do the ‘right’ things and have all the ‘answers’ that we forget. We forget to LIVE [...]

my daily inventory

1 Comment 14 March 2012

My head is a liar. Yeah yeah we know. All our heads lie to us. True. But as the Big Book says we ‘learn to differentiate the true from the false’. How? Well by step work of course. Doing daily inventories and all that razamatazz (see your sponsor for further reference i’m sure he/she will [...]

  It is … what it is. Twisting and turning like the python in Pandora’s Box, life has a way of just “happening”.  It can happen TO us or we can be an active member of this late night R rated game show.  Put the kids to bed Ma … “life’s” on again.  Flip the [...]

Fun in Recovery?

We are NOT a glum lot…

7 Comments 26 February 2012

  So. We get sober/clean.  We go to meetings, get a sponsor, do stepwork … all the necessaries.  What now? How in the sam hell do I have FUN and not use?  All my receptor sites, gut level instincts, behaviors, and attitudes have focused on using for so long that fun seems to be a [...]

i’m here

2 Comments 20 February 2012

This isn’t going to be a long post… nor a witty one, or pretty or clever or any of my usual antics online. I’m sad. SAD. Sad for a friend in recovery who wrote me an email today telling me she had relapsed. There was once a time where I would’ve written a long dissertation [...]

The fact is that most alcoholics, for reasons yet obscure, have lost the power of choice in drink. Our so-called will power becomes practically nonexistent. My powerlessness over alcohol does not cease when I quit drinking. In sobriety I still have no choice—I can’t drink. The choice I do have is to pick up and [...]
