Joking around, the only way a truly sassy girl can do, one of my dear friends who happens to be a Judge (literally) commented on a member status or two. I was engaged in a silly conversation about taking saucy pictures in a bathroom, when I was told about my ‘godlessness’. Now, I’m used to [...]

you are beautiful…
Know on this day … That you are enough. You are a member of recovery filled with dignity and grace. You CAN succeed. There is only one you in this world … you are a brilliant spark. No matter what … you are going to be okay. You matter; your voice, your presence, your existence… [...]
no major
No-Major (whatever that means)-Decisions-In the first year. Seems like a hundred fingers pointing shouting NO. Spouted wide and far by recovery types, this has been a bone of contention throughout Anonymous history. Of course the two guys that started this whole show made serious amounts of major decisions. Including writing the big book, moving, taking [...]
relationships? omg.
I’m dating. “In a relationship” according to my facebook profile page. And I’m rather happy about that. With whom? Well he’s amazing (gush gush swoon of course) AND in recovery. Sober/clean with all the sayings to go with. I love the idea of that. Really I’ve only dated a few people outside of the rooms. [...]
words of recovery …
As I’ve told you before … I’m a poet. I have poet friends who drink poet coffee and are poets … in recovery. They have made my life a beautiful word filled place. All three gentlemen that I have asked to share their work, are amazingly talented and help to keep me sober everyday. I’m [...]

Work the steps all you want. Speak at meetings. Sponsor a couple dozen new folk. Chair a meeting while setting up chairs and make coffee and do all that. You can do and Do and DO … and still be miserable. Internalizing and going through the motions are two very different things. The difference between [...]
behind locked doors
Have you heard the phrase – “If I don’t do the work of recovery, there are three places I’ll be. Hospitals, jails, or pushing up daisies.” Adapted from 12 x 12 “Each AA member is to follow the 12 steps to the best of their ability or face jails, institutions or death.” Chapter Nine – [...]
I Love Recovery, Inside my Mind
humility?
Humility is defined by Merriam-Websters (unabridged mind you) as the quality or state of being humble. Which of course led to the definition of humble: not proud or haughty; not arrogant or assertive; reflecting, expressing, or offered in a spirit of deference or submission. And then, being the dictionary lover that I am, I continued [...]
words with Sass.
In the spirit of transparency, it’s time again for Sassy Poetry. Where words flow and poignancy reigns supreme. This writing fills up the majority of my facebook page and I have tons of connections with poets both in and out of recovery. Words are healing and cathartic and … and … and … this is [...]
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 [...]
