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 [...]

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. [...]
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 [...]
thanks… you.
Really? Thanksgiving. Yes. Stuff yourself til you sleep day. Remember how the Indians saved our asses then we took their land day. Don’t get me wrong … my gorgeous daughters dressing in pilgrim garb and saying a thankful prayer is omg-adorable. I dig the cooking, the family-ish-ness, and all that. I do. My three perfectly [...]

Ever hear the old addage … too much of a good thing … can make you heave ho or wet your knickers or well it just isn’t that good for you? Yeah. Sensory overload to the point of sitting there crying right alongside my crying children after an epically long vacation week. How about … [...]
Trick or … treat.
One of the biggest party nights of the year. Halloween. Well for me anyway… it was. It’s a good time to have sober people around. A good time to hang with the “winners”. Holidays can indeed be a trigger, especially when your traditions have included spiked cider and bobbing for DUI’s. All dressed up and [...]
weepy
I was an isolater (okay sometimes still am). A runner. A “get too close to me and I’mma run like hell” type of chick. (yes. I am aware that I’m not unique. hmmph) A “lick my wounds alone because it’s not pretty” until I can regroup and write it out. I used to believe [...]
inside out
It’s more of who you ARE (on the inside) than what you DO on the outside… that people will remember. Think differently than the rest… you are an original. Sheep-ism is so last week. Know that no matter what… you are valuable. There is a learning curve, you do NOT have to be all things [...]
Daily Refelections and Just for Today
meditation-ally speaking.
Louise L. Hay. Powerful. Impactful. Part of my daily meditative routine. Instead of buying meditation books I have all my morning readings bookmarked… welcome to the world of the interwebs. Anyway… today’s reading knocked my socks off… again. September 1st, 2011 Inner wisdom guides me at all times. Deep at the center of my being, [...]
