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 [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]
How do I DO this stuff?, I Love Recovery
clearly.
When it comes right down to it… Your level of transparency is directly correlated with how much you like and accept yourself. Being able to be open and honest and share who you really are is refreshing beyond belief. Gone are the days of shuckin’ and jivin’ to try not to trip over the lie [...]
gauging success
I’ve been thinking an awful lot lately about outcomes. Goals, dreams, aspirations, blah blah blah. About making a transition to writing for a living and how I’m going to do that and where is this going to lead and omg I have to succeed at this. I had an epiphany of sorts (although of the [...]
I Love Recovery, Inside my Mind
National Recovery Month???
It’s National Recovery Month… huh? What does THAT mean exactly? Well according to SAMHSA (Substance Abuse And Mental Health Administration) it’s this… National Recovery Month (Recovery Month) is a national observance that educates Americans on the fact that addiction treatment and mental health services can enable those with a substance use or mental disorder to live a [...]
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 [...]
