Iāve been told I have a gift. I can recommend a movie for any mood youāre in. Depressed? Melissa McCarthyās Tammy or The Heat. Lazy and a little sad but you donāt want to pay attention? 13 Going on 30. Melancholy? Fried Green Tomatoes. Maybe these are just the ones that work for my sis and me. This morning I keep getting that quote by Judd Nelsonās fine self from The Breakfast Club (maybe you donāt think heās fine but in that movie š„š„š„- itās probably a bad boy thing that Iāve been known to possess). He said, āDemented and sad, but socialā about the ānerdā being in the chess club. I realized that when I was drinking and going out to be āsocialā that was me. The sadness oozed out of me no matter how I tried to hide it. The demented probably wonāt go away bc it still hasnāt, and the social? Just because weāre around others doesnāt mean weāre being social. For me it just highlighted my alcohol use disorder. Gave everyone something to talk about. At least now if theyāre talking I remember what theyāre talking about. And itās not about how sloppy a drunk I am. Happy Tuesday, soberfamily! Keep it simple today.

La Primavera šø
Donāt get me wrong. I love springtime. And summertime. Fall is cool too. Winter can suck it (for me)! But Every Single Time the weather turns warm Iām surprised that my first thought STILL goes to alcohol. All I have to do, though, is look back to see how any of these things in this post end. Yard work? Welp Iād cut some grass (not on a riding mower) with beer in hand and think I deserved a lot more. So Iād do maybe the side yard then ādeserveā a break. Drink a six pack, HAVE to get more, by that time Iād blow it all off and forget all about that pesky grass. Garden parties never ended well for me. Horse races too. Lahdddd all the times I went to Preakness?! Cute hat n all and Iād feel like Princess Kateās sister (whatās her name again? Cute name too!) when I got there. Iād get carried out at some point but not after diving off of super tall coolers people would stack up. Like I was a damn Sex Pistol or something. Beach? Fahhhgetttabboutitt. šµāš«š«£š®. So there you have it. Just because itās gorgeous outside doesnāt mean Iām all of a sudden able to handle the sauce. As one of my bosses told me in 1997, āyouāre a good worker but you need to stop letting the sauce take you downā. Thanks Mr. Wiseman. Wise words. From a wise man (I had to do it š). Happy Wednesday, sober family! Keep it simple today.

Shameful
Whatās the difference between guilt and shame? I canāt ever remember but my friend @artunwined explains it in the best way/ guilt is feeling badly bc you did something wrong and shame is feeling like youāre.just.bad. Not bad as in good either. Iāve been found guilty of a few ā¦ misunderstandings in my day. Iād have taken those any day over my shame that I couldnāt ever shake. Now I know why I couldnāt. I knew in my core that I wasnāt living the way I could and should. I wasnāt living the way my sis and I were taught to live. I know how to act and what I believed when I was a kid. Then spent way too much time unlearning all of it and numbing that shame with a ton of alcohol. 3 tons probably. No more for me, thanks. Iāve had enough for 7 lifetimes if not more. Happy Sunday night, sober family! Wishing you beautiful dreams. ā¤ļø.

Irish Exit
I know I was a pro at the #irishexit when I was drinking. Come to find Iām just as good at it when Iām not. And idk why itās the āIrishā exitā¦every Irishman or woman Iāve ever partied with could hannnng. But. Back to the point. If your gut feels like something isnāt right and youāve got to go, listen to it. If itās late and the only other people around are sh*tfaced, time to bounce. Why would you stick around? If youāre the DD you decide- and if anyone you drive wants to stay- thatās for them to decide. I have a hard time being around messy and sloppy. God knows I WAS messy for about 3 decades. Time to clean up and glide on. Happy Tuesday, sober family! Keep it simple today.

Nope. Never.
We Trademarked That Sh*t
UGHHHHH
So Iām thinking that maybe if I write this out I can stop thinking about it. Iām also thinking that I probably should go to bed so maybe my writing will bore me to sleep. Either way!
As I just celebrated my fourth alcohol free year people naturally asked how I was feeling and if itās easy now. My answers were basically like yeah itās not hard for me to abstain from alcohol now at all and the longer Iāve been sober, the more āopportunitiesā Iāve had to see people getting drunk. And it ALWAYS makes me hate alcohol even more. It also makes me sad for them. I wonder how many strangers felt sad for me?
But you know what Iāve really come to realize? It doesnāt have to be alcohol. The more I work on me the more I find I need to work on. So Iām still insatiable. Just not with alcohol. And one last thingā¦how many of us still struggle with addiction and are petrified to even try to stop? Well. If youāre reading this then youāre already doing something. And sometimes something is enough for now. Happy Tuesday, sober family! Keep it simple today.
Chill
It happens. But it doesnāt mean that everything youāve learned about your drinking just disappears. One time I less than half ass tried to quit. So instead of doing something I knew I couldnāt or didnāt want to I kept drinking for another 15 years or so. And knew I didnāt want to AS I WAS DOING IT and still kept going. Until I couldnāt. So be kind to you, mother yourself, and keep it simple tonight, sober family.

Life After Death
We did survive. Just barely. We didnāt thrive though. At.All. The never ending purgatory of feeling horrid when I woke up, to the inevitable anxiety and to top it off?! The guilt that I was going to do it again. That same day. Yes- thereās life after alcohol. And youāll actually remember it. Happy Tuesday, sober family! Keep it simple today.

Luck of the Sisters
Without all of you, we wouldnāt love, laugh, cry, and vent so openly. My sister and I are so lucky and we thank the Universe every night for the friendship of this sisterhood. Weāve always got your back and we know you have ours. Happy Saint Patrickās Day, sober family! Keep it simple today.
