We all get into jumbled messes… in our heads especially. Step 10 (yes I know I talk about this one ALL the time… shushit) tells me that I am to examine MY behavior. Yes – everyday. Yes – I can’t look at you anymore and blame you for my ‘stuff’. That’s all well [...]

congruence
Are you cynical? Do you scoff at pollyana pigtails with her happy go lucky sappy overly positive crap that she pushes at everyone? Stay happy! Smile it gets better! YOU ARE A MIRACLE! I’m sooooooooo happy! I LOVE RECOVERY!!! (hey wait a minute I say that. shushit.) Well. ahem. I’m here to tell [...]
stick with the winners?
Who exactly ARE these “winners” that everyone keeps talking about sticking with??? I mean really… how do you know who to talk to or whom you should run the hell away from? People can appear to be anything they choose … at first. Appearances are deceiving and talk is a cheap 10 dollar [...]
your song
A bird doesn’t sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song. Lou Holtz I came across this quote tonight and it hit me like a brick house. Sometimes we get SO busy trying to do the ‘right’ things and have all the ‘answers’ that we forget. We forget to LIVE [...]
my daily inventory
My head is a liar. Yeah yeah we know. All our heads lie to us. True. But as the Big Book says we ‘learn to differentiate the true from the false’. How? Well by step work of course. Doing daily inventories and all that razamatazz (see your sponsor for further reference i’m sure he/she will [...]
screw cable
It is … what it is. Twisting and turning like the python in Pandora’s Box, life has a way of just “happening”. It can happen TO us or we can be an active member of this late night R rated game show. Put the kids to bed Ma … “life’s” on again. Flip the [...]
We are NOT a glum lot…
So. We get sober/clean. We go to meetings, get a sponsor, do stepwork … all the necessaries. What now? How in the sam hell do I have FUN and not use? All my receptor sites, gut level instincts, behaviors, and attitudes have focused on using for so long that fun seems to be a [...]
i need a plumber…
I heard once at a meeting. “I have eighteen inches from my heart to my head and right now it’s clogged with bullshit.” That was in the mid 90′s and I’ve never forgotten it. Clogged with fear, desperation, self pity, anger, selfishness, and on and on and … on. (emphasis placed here if you [...]
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? [...]
accept
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 [...]
