I’m going on a trip. Ever play that game as a kid? You know the one where you list the things you’re taking from the alphabet and have to remember them all? Yeah. I’m playing that game right now in my head. Except it’s not a game. I’m sorting through the idea (which made [...]

serenity… interrupted.
“People recite the first line of the serenity prayer and seem to sometimes forget that there is MORE than the first line.” ~ Kat W. (bff, sponso, and in my heart my sister) We had a conversation yesterday. One of those random stolen moments in the work break room that I treasure so very [...]
Emotional Intelligence, How do I DO this stuff?
rubberneckers
It’s so easy. So easy to get in that negative mind set when it “seems” as if everyone in the world is doing it. It being the backbiting, judgmental shuffle. The negative nelly wrapped in caustic crass. Seems like the world loves to kick someone when they’re down… as if it makes us feel [...]
Emotional Intelligence, Inside my Mind
the journey
I went to one of my old home group meetings last night. Cuyahoga Falls Sat. Night; a meeting that I went to rather regularly back in the day. Okay pretty much weekly for well over a decade. My bff/sponso Kat and a new friend Em (sup girls) were kind enough to go with me. [...]
happy (sober) new year
New year. New beginnings. New chances to be me. Explore things I never thought possible. Love, life, and everything in between. I have a love story in me that has allowed me to love another. Greatest story ever told? Hell to the yes it is! Embracing myself regardless of what’s going on? Cranky? Yeah who [...]
fixing you
I heard this at a meeting the other day. ”Keep coming back. It gets better.” But does “IT” really get better? Now I know I’m splitting hairs here but it really got me thinking about this whole recovery process. Life is constant. Good/Bad (I despise those words but use them for common language purposes) things [...]

Addiction 101, I Love Recovery
promises promises
As it tells us in our literature (you know the Big blue Book… at least for this drunk it’s my textbook), namely the Doctor’s opinion, we “cannot differentiate the true from the false”. huh? okay I’ll let Dr. Silkworth explain this since he did such a fabulous job doing so.

bah humbug
It’s somewhat difficult to have a “Merry Christmas” … when you’re pissed off at the world. Sometimes holidays are hard. Ok ok ok … they can be difficult ALL the time. Not enough money, not seeing your kids, not seeing anyone. Throw staying sober/clean on top of it and WHAM BAM … could be [...]
helping?
Sometimes we forget what it was like. To be new. To be really really sick. To be so riddled with self centered disease that we believe our own lies. It’s easy to forget really. When you’ve been in the rooms for a period of time so long it becomes second nature (this can come quickly [...]
