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 [...]

may the force be with you …
Overheard by ignoramus #1 (we’ll call him Henry Hillbilly) “Yeah my neighbor is one of them there drunks in that triple A thing. Always talkin’ bout them meetings and all that bunk. Man he doesn’t need them stupid brain washers. All he needs is to grow a set. Like me. I drink all the time [...]
what’s it gonna be yes or no … or … lemme sleep on it.
Had a minor epiphany. Lightbulb moment. No I wasn’t listening to Meatloaf. But I could be at any given moment. Okay not really. But that particularly song is sorta cool in a dance and sing your face off kinda way. Right? Okay. This is going to be short and sweet. Sometimes those are the best [...]
showin’ yer ass.
Sometimes … we need to take a break. Especially and most importantly, when we’re in a sick thinking mindset. Taking a short bit of time to breathe and find out what the hell is going on with ya badself … is epically important. Yes I used epic. Yes. It fits. In the fast pace of [...]
