I wanna dance with somebody. One moment in time. I will always love you… Yeah. That voice. Those songs. That girl. The girl I grew up listening to, the one that bookmarked first kisses and high school dances and sleepovers and and and… yeah. Beautiful voice and face and could’ve had a beautiful life. [...]

i love recovery?
Upon mentioning to my lil’ ole bloggity blog 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? [...]
telling on myself…
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 [...]
accept
If you’ve ever been to an “anonymous type” meeting, you’ve probably heard about this strange word called acceptance.

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 [...]
