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 […]

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 […]

Indeedles, as my oldest son says. I’m used to drinking dreams by this point; they don’t even rattle me. I wake up, yawn and stretch, and think, Well, that was another drinking dream. And then I get up and go about my day. Drinking dreams used to scare the bejebus out of me, and sometimes I […]

This is still seriously a work in progress, but it’s a demon i’ve been really battling with. Twenty-five days sober now, thanks to this lakers/kings game i went to. I think I’m always the side chick. I can’t tell if I fear commitment, or if people fear committing to me. Maybe I don’t want […]
Crying won’t fix anything. Killing won’t fix anything. Dying won’t fix anything. Love won’t fox anything. I often wonder if I’m supposed to be this messed up girl from out of town. All my life I’w never fit in any where. But with alcohol or drugs I feel complete, like I belong in this world. […]
