Yes, I always did want to focus on recovery, I got to doing too much and took a break. Now I’m coming back at the angle I had intended, with hopefully more focus and recovery content than poetry.
This year has been such a blessing and a curse. Depending upon how you look at things. Ten years sober (with a few slips) and I am discovering that the people I surrounded myself with are vindictive, cruel narcissists. My husband and I have no family to speak of, as I went no contact with my sister’s side of the family, and now his mother. I have no desire to drink, and I attribute this to finally being free of the people I trusted-who did not love and cherish me. Merry Christmas, Rob! And join me in praying for the lost and addicted, wherever they may be.
Well, my faith in God. After years of doing it on my own, I finally made a covenant with God not to drink again, which took the pressure off of me, knowing it wasn’t an option. ACCOUNTABILITY is a major factor, my husband would be crushed if I began drinking again, and if I lose him, I lose the world. Thank God for CPTSD, the weed helps tremendously. 🙂
Rob! You changed your blog name?!?! Merry Christmas! Happy you’re here 😉

I admire you and what you have accomplished in the time that I have known you! You are the strongest person I know.
The strongest person I know is in your mirror. Thanks Bec!

Sounds like rough landings all around. How do you stay sober?
