Okay, so I’m house sitting for a couple of weeks, and this morning, my first morning with the dogs, I wake up, feed them breakfast, and they puke ALL OVER. I didn’t know little dogs could puke so much! It’s like having a baby around that pukes up after every meal. YUCKY. I think it [...]

I am loved. I am living in the here and now. I’m living God’s will. … and I am somebody.
Cheesy, huh? I said that twice a day when I was in treatment. It meant something to me at the time, but I haven’t really used the affirmations since, and it’s been about five months [...]

It’s so humid out today, as it was yesterday. You walk outside and you feel like you’re walking through a thick stew. As Paul Majors said on the news last night, your body loses it’s ability to cool down by sweating because the air is so humid your sweat won’t evaporate. Yuck.
Do you ever get [...]

Okay, so I’ve been trying to live by a higher power’s timeline - his/it’s will, not my own. To those non-AAers, it’s basically equivalent to the thought behind the saying, “Live and let live.” (my own interpretation)
In AA we talk about willingness and action. The willingness to let God determine what’s best for us, [...]

Went to an NA meeting tonight. This meeting has an open discussion during the latter half and I was thinking about what I might say on my way over there. It occurred to me that it’s been a pretty busy week, and I’m surprised I’m handling it as well as I am.
My mother was [...]

I had a really long day yesterday. Work included an all-day meeting with a new vendor we’re working with. I ducked out when I could to actually work, but still ended up leaving the office with a to-do list a mile long.
My mother called me on my way home. She wasn’t doing well and [...]

Okay, so I did get something good out of A Million Little Pieces, afterall. The last 50 or so pages are actually getting good. James Frey speaks about how we (we being alcoholics and addicts) are all born normal [perhaps genetically predispositioned to addiction, but I don't know...] people. Then the disease strikes, and it’s [...]

Went to the Bolt Underground tonight for the first time. They just opened recently and I had heard that some Legion work needed to be carried there. Anyhow, I loved it! Super hot guys, very cool club - cool music, sweating boys/men, and a literal underground theme. What more could a homo ask for?
It [...]

Sorta in a strange mood tonight. It’s Monday night and I have to return to work tomorrow after a three day weekend
The weekend was pretty good overall, although my mom called me upset this evening, again. She never seems happy. This time she was upset with my dad about something that I thought [...]

My sponsor told me something very valuable once - if you find that someone is getting on your nerves, it’s usually not their problem, as they’re happy doing whatever it is doing whatever’s bothering you. It’s usually something that’s wrong with yourself if someone else is getting on your nerves. Does that make sense?
He [...]
