I went to one of my old home group meetings last night. Cuyahoga Falls Sat. Night; a meeting that I went to rather regularly back in the day. Okay pretty much weekly for well over a decade. My bff/sponso Kat and a new friend Em (sup girls) were kind enough to go with me. [...]
right or wrong?
Just when you think no one cares… you get a taste of what you’ve given back to the world. There is so much kindness to be found if you but have the eyes to see. (current status message on ITR… mine.) That about sums it up. But I’ll expound anyway because it’s simply necessary. [...]
weepy
I was an isolater (okay sometimes still am). A runner. A “get too close to me and I’mma run like hell” type of chick. (yes. I am aware that I’m not unique. hmmph) A “lick my wounds alone because it’s not pretty” until I can regroup and write it out. I used to believe [...]
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 [...]
instrumentally…
I’m sitting here watching the hurricane in awe of the tremendous force that is slamming down upon the east coast. It’s moving into even more (personally) uncomfortable territory now… as I have people I talk to daily – who I share every moment of my life with - whom I love very much in Jersey, [...]
How do I DO this stuff?, Inside my Mind
i don’t like … this meeting.
Ever walked into a meeting and felt like you were home? How bout the opposite? Walked into a meeting and felt unwelcomed and like you didn’t belong? Like you walked right into the middle of Recovery Clique central? Now. I know what you’re gonna say … there are no strangers only friends we haven’t met yet. [...]
where my HP lives …
My god this is beautiful . – first thought. How amazing is it to be able to fly? – first rhetorical question. My goodness we are so small. – first philosophical ideation. Yes. I am childlike. Yes, I like that about me. Yes, I’m flying to see my guy and am excited as a pig [...]
How do I DO this stuff?, Inside my Mind
ego-maniacal inferiority
Ego-maniac with an inferiority complex. Ever heard that? What do you think it means? Is it applicable to someone you know? Perhaps you? I dunno. Let’s find out. I can tell you I used to hang my hat on this more often than not, once upon a time. Oh yes. This is my memorex memory. [...]
the “MEAN”
Yesterday was an odd day. I was going to write about a slogan or something ‘rote’ straight from the recovery toolbag, but as usual I need to write about the things that are happening right now. I mean that’s what recovery is about yes? Learning to be clean/sober and most of all ‘right minded’ through [...]
Emotional Intelligence, Inside my Mind
success???
Like most people, I tend to stick with what I know. What I’ve experienced. What is comfortable. Even if it doesn’t look comfortable from the outside. Matter of fact sometimes our lives (my life) can look like one big case study in psychosis based on past history. But it’s SAFE. To me anyway. Been down [...]
