Even though I tried to quit many, many times over the last 10 years, there are only 2 times that have left a lasting impression. The first being September 18, 2013 to April 1, 2015. My first big step into the sober arena. It was where I met all you wonderful bloggers. AA is/was not […]

Hi all, I thought I would share one of those famous “letters you should write even if you ever send them” letters. The ones counsellors and therapy sites tell you you will find therapeutic. I did. Although sometimes I really wish I had the balls to just send it. The reality is, instead of the […]

Many moons ago I suffered from deep, deep depression. Imagine the kind of depression that walks into your life out of nowhere and slowly kills a part of you. When that part is gone then it jumps inside of you, replacing what once was a part of you and now exists as a deep dark […]

How do you write about something that people are afraid to see? How to you expose an undermining, but insidious practice? How do you change peoples’ minds? How does a civilization heal from the wounds of abuse? Those that suffer abuse are traumatized. Trauma causes a person to reside in the past where the abuse […]

How on earth can ANY good be found with Heroin? “Drug overdoses are now more deadly than car accidents and guns in this country” (David Muir, 20/20, 2016). And most of those are from heroin. How can there be anything even slightly positive in that? The truth is there is no lemon to be found […]
I guess it all started when I became Amazon Prime. For some reason they told me that I qualified for free membership in their exclusive buyers club, and that from now on, free and nearly instant shipping for all my purchases would apply. When I’m bored I like to shop online, and even before I […]

Its not easy when you’re feeling so down on yourself – seems like there’s nothing you can do to boost your spirits up. So alone. So sober. Thats how I’ve been feeling for awhile now + I just can’t seem to shake it. This weekend was definitely the hardest + it feels like it’s just going […]
