I over E …
Knee-jerk, react, physical gasp “oh no”, predictive thinking of the “what ifs” “OMG” and “other shoe dropping”. Not sure if any of you can relate to this type of thinking, but I was raised by a master of reaction … aka Moms. Everything was a catastrophe and this idea was flamed and fed by active [...]
balancing act
“It’s a selfish program.” ~ said by more “wise” folk in meetings than I can even count. “Selfishness- self centeredness! That, we think is the root of our troubles. Driven by a hundred forms of fear, self -delusion, self-seeking, and self-pity, we step on the toes of our fellows and they retaliate.” ~ Alcoholics Anonymous [...]
take another little piece …
It happens often. Today it was a random message from a bloke on In The Rooms : “I can’t. I’m lost. Alone. This shit doesn’t work. You people are liars. Life is NOT better. Go get bent.” Hopeless, helpless, lost the will to fight the lies behind the eyes. Drown out the fear with anger [...]
Sponsor.
Sponsor: (1) One who assumes responsibility for another person or a group during a period of instruction, apprenticeship, or probation.

I Love Recovery ???
Upon mentioning to my lil’ ole blogspot here to some folks, I’m always asked “Do you really loooooove recovery?” *snicker* Of course this gives folks a reason to tease me; always epic fun. However it brings up a good point. Do I really love recovery and what the hell does that mean anyhow? Look at the [...]
walking softly …
I used to think. A long long time ago, when I was but a 19 year old thing falling face first into the rooms of AA, that I had to yell to be heard . It morphed into; having to be “hard” to be safe and being a “bitch” to get my point across. Ego [...]
Grade “A” … The A-List
Where you gonna go to find all things recovery? Why In The Rooms of course. The newest addition to ITR is the A-List; a recovery one stop shop where you can find anything bought/sold/in demand. Not only “find” but “sell” too; if you’re in recovery and have a service to provide (keep it clean people) [...]
lookin’ over top of my glasses …
If you’ve ever been to an “anonymous type” meeting, you’ve probably heard about this strange word called acceptance. Dictionary.com defines as “the act of taking or receiving something offered. favorable reception; approval; favor. the act of assenting or believing.” At meetings all over the universe tonight, I imagine wise folks with many years [...]
Sex…
Yup. I’m goin there. Epic “no-no”, cause of arguments, discussions, eye brow raises and 13th step jokes. Down this slippery slope I go (pun absolutely intended). So … you wanna go for coffee after the meeting? Best recovery pick up line EVER!!! New in recovery … or even not so new. Sex can be a difficult [...]
light a candle …
Boundaries. Slippery little suckers they can be. When to go, stay, say “Shup”, or comere … who knows what’s what? Just like anything else in recovery, it’s an issue of internal fortitude. Giving a little may mean allowing an inch to become a marathon, while standing firm could spell certain catastrophe. I mean really. The early [...]

Sometimes we fall down and can’t get back up We’re hiding behind skin that’s too tough How come we don’t say I love you enough Till it’s to late, it’s not too late Our hearts are hungry for a food that won’t come We could make a feast from these crumbs And we’re all staring down the barrel of a gun So [...]
