• Sane and Sober

  

  The other day I told a friend, “The only thing keeping me sane right now is reading and writing.” I’m still utilizing the Morning Pages, but have stopped beating myself up for not filling up three pages. There’s so much going on with my jobs right now, I don’t have the luxury of spending time […]

• A Sacred Bow

  

  As we approach the end of the year, let’s take this opportunity to look back … so that we can learn from our experience, set intentions going forward, and improve our practice and structure. Leo Babauta Since June, I’ve been a part of the Fearless Community, and it was one of the best things I […]

• Protect Your Sobriety

  

  Every morning I open my eyes, my first thought and words spoken are, “Thank you God for waking me up sober.” I’ve been thinking about sobriety, which is normal for me this time of year. On November 10th, I’ll be 22 years sober. There’s a twinge of embarrassment when I say that to someone newly […]

• Keep Choosing Her

  

  I woke up this morning to the smell of Mrs. Meyers from cleaning house, and not just the usual dusting and vacuuming. No my darling, I was on my hands and knees scrubbing corners. Being on my hands and knees reminded me of my drinking days. I was a falling down, blackout drunk. I posted […]

• Get Over Yourself

  That’s what my sponsor would say. When I felt alone, or decided to have a pity party, she would encourage me to look outside myself. To find a need and fill it. Not my own need, but the needs of others. The first line you’ll read in the book, “The Purpose Driven Life” is, “It’s […]

• Your Want To

  This Blog post is for anyone suffering from an addiction. To overcome the addiction, you have to want to. Your ‘want to‘ has to become bigger than it. God created us to be overcomers, and because He has overcome the world, there is nothing we cannot overcome through Him. I give credit to AA for […]

• Stopping to Go

  Today, I gave my daughter the day off from being my daughter. She harbors these ‘people pleasing’ abilities that will wear off over time. Her father’s hectic life is adding stress to hers, but he needs her more than I do right now. Not wanting to add to an already stressful situation, I encouraged her […]
