part of being a recovering alcoholic/addict is apologizing to people who will refuse to ever forgive you - do it anyway

Never be afraid to do in the light of day… what we freely do under cover of darkness.
Honesty… with others… but mostly myself… is the key to a happy life…
…or maybe it’s peanut butter and honey… that makes me happy too…

part of my journey to sobriety has been realizing that not every battle is mine to fight, and sometimes it's best to just keep my fuckin mouth shut!

ya know, I've done a lot of stupid shit in my life, but now that I am sober, I find this is much rarely the case
since middle school in the 80s, this is the longest I have gone without being fucked up all the time

ya know, I smoked weed heavily from 1988 through about this time last year - I'm now at the point where getting high seems very unpleasant - even the smell has become quite off-putting to me
14 yo Coleen, hell 45 yo Coleen, would never have believe this

honestly, giving up drugs and alcohol is one of the best things I've ever done - while not perfect, my life, and my outlook improve every day
my head is clear, I don't need Lithium, and I feel like I am back on track towards helping make the world a better palce

I often use the phrase, "old Coleen would have..." a bit cliche, but it adequately describes how I would have handled a situation
"old Coleen" is analogous to "pre-sober Coleen", and the fact that I can now clearly see how far I have come is very satisfying

was in a public restroom and the experience reminded me of how I would go in to snort cocain or do a one hit of weed - the echos, the timing of flushing the toilet in order to cover the sounds, looking for an exhaust fan - these things will haunt me for life

when I pass Liquor Stores or Liquor Isles, my mind immediately thinks of wine, Cabernet specifically, then turns to scotch, then I remember that, although these things have been the source of much joy, they have also been the source of much suffering and despair

The story I told myself kept me drunk. For years, I believed a narrative that made drinking feel inevitable. #Recovery began when I realized: if the story was constructed, it could be rewritten.

Recovery often starts with just wanting to feel okay again - or at least not feel like crap about ourselves. We don’t just want to survive—we want to become someone we recognize. Someone we respect. That’s the deeper work.

When your mind won’t settle, start with what you can reach. Tidy a corner. Fold the laundry. Movement can be a powerful way to take back your sense of control—one task at a time.

Change doesn’t happen because we’re sure—it happens when we believe just enough to try. Recovery meeting rooms are full of those of us who wholeheartedly believe in you until you can believe in yourself. Stick with it, and that day will come.
