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 [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]
enough.
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 … [...]
amazing.
I’m in heaven. Walking around my old college campus (yes i graduated from Akron U.) which is now filled with thousands and thousands (and yes thousands) of drunks; laughing, crying, hugging, sharing, LIVING … Founders Day style. Talk about being surrounded with God-consciousness, or if you prefer a power greater. Puts life’s little petty issues [...]
overwhelmed.
I got in a mood today. Okay last night really. A ‘mood’. You know the one. The kind where my diseased thinking overwhelms me and I begin to live in the house that fear built. I hate that mood. It lasted til’ I shared it … which is pretty much usually the case. Good thing [...]
the show-me “state”.
Yeah. Overused topic. But with a twist. Any given night you can be sure that the topic of any 12 step meeting could very well be “gratitude”. What are you grateful for? blah blah. Now I’m not mocking … for once. This is important. I’ve been to a few meetings on this topic. More like [...]
beautifully imperfect or how to do step ten
Had probably one of the best comments/compliments/heckles of my life today. And that’s saying something. I’ve lived a lotta life in thirty some years. “You are so bright and happy, even at work. Are you always like this or is there something wrong with you?” To which, of course, I replied… A little of both. [...]
shame-less…
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 [...]
