Amend: Recompense for grievance or injury. To change for the better; improve. To remove the faults or errors in; correct. I did it again. Screwed up. Put my foot in my mouth in the classic epic style that I always seem to. Something smarmy and snide and then ran away like a petulant child. I [...]
the girl i used to be … or relapse of a midtimer
Waking. Agony. Not again. Not another groundhog day. I don’t wanna do this again. Suckin’ it up, bitch slap self for the sake of the babies. Play, learn, teach, grow … the only sunlight in the cave. Counting the seconds til the captain can come out to play. Three o’clock and whew and sigh and [...]
carry the message … not the mess
Whirling, twirling, “mess” of sickness. Despair brings lightning storms and self hatred oozes from dark, dismal clouds of disease. Full of shame and blame, folks walk into the rooms of recovery as a port in the storm. A reprieve from the tornado that has become our lives. Funny thing; as sick folk we’re sorta used [...]

Wake up and smell the …
Spiritually absent or spiritually aware? Prefacing this idea of spiritual or the conscience if you’d rather with no monikers of anything. No specific god speak or whatnot. And certainly not the judgment pounding good/bad, right/wrong pundits in their habits of shame. What fits or what doesn’t, what works or what will not, what it is [...]

happy holidays???
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 a [...]
