I was asked to do this blog almost a year ago by the gentlemen (ahem) at In The Rooms. Now, first and foremost, I don’t get paid to do this. (ahem ahem) Although I’ve thought since I do work hard at this writing schtick a little advertising wouldn’t hurt a page. (dotmack? RT? Kenny? yoohoo). [...]

a little goes a long way …
Before you spit out your coffee on the monitor (for the “Get clean or die folks.”), please note this. And no it’s not my middle finger. Yet. Okay not too much. Moving along now. Anyway, my proposed title is not in reference to the steps or slacking on recovery work in any way, shape, or [...]
Fun in Recovery?, How do I DO this stuff?
inner voice …
For years, I sat in the dark. Unable, unwilling, un-something; to express the real of the deal of who I really was. Especially during the years of the dark sickness that’s known as addiction. Using covered up everything that I really was … like you (yes social chameleon-ism), so used to the manipulative dance that [...]
home-coming-home
I was sober for a long time … a (relatively) long time ago. There was a place that I went every Friday night for a decade. If anyone needed to see me they knew to go to the Northampton meeting and my saucy rump would be there up to g-o-d knows what. My home group. [...]

Every evening during our epic “night swimming” at Ninja House, the mini-ninjas and I have a topic we discuss. Usually presented by the six year old and in her always effervescent brilliance, she picks something that makes this Mommy Ninja go *G-U-L-P* (okay not really but she sure takes my breath away sometimes). Tonight’s literal [...]
Celebrity Addiction: do we care and why?
nudge from the judge …
Upon reading my morning drivel online (newspapers are so 2002) I stumble upon on … well StumbleUpon; Lindsay Lohan mania. Omg she’s on Trazedone … did you hear she takes Zoloft? She has to go to J A I L … the NERVE! They made her wear a “scramble bracelet” (to identify alcohol in the [...]
service works.
Service. Being of service, attending a service, servicing up and gettin’ busy. Service. In the context of which we speak, service is an incredibly important part of the recovery tip. “Gotta give it away to keep it.” comes to mind along with a slew of other slogans on meeting hall walls across the globe. Also [...]
happy 4th?
This is NOT going to be your average Independence Day scratch. You know the whole “we’re free from the … blah blah blah” (which of course we are). But I never liked the obvious. And holidays like this one, always created mucho chaos in this chick’s world. If you can’t relate then stop reading and [...]
picture this.
sad. sad heartbreaking news in the form a simple picture. a belt. two baggies. a syringe. a seven year old boy without a mother. overdose. gone. dead. always. someone i know. someone i’ve been. someone i don’t ever want to be again. someone that couldn’t or wouldn’t stop. doesn’t really matter which now does it?
