Learning to think for myself

I can't count how many times I said, I don't want to do any drugs this weekend but then they showed up and I would get excited. I would regret it over and over and be ashamed of myself afterwards. More over I was ashamed of my actions on drugs. I acted like an 18 year old desparate for attention party girl and that was sad. I allowed to be called a bitch daily. I usually just laughed it off. That doesn't sound like much but I hated my call name being, bitch. I allowed to get chewed out over not making fried foods every day.. I would allow getting chewed out over being low on alcohol. I allowed a lot more that I shouldn't have.. I just had no idea what else to do.. Then one day, I just had enough..

A little advice from a Sober and Inspired girl

Looking and continuously watching the past? Is that how you want to spend your life? I think not! Everyone needs closure but if you live and thrive and make your life on what used to be, you will NEVER move on to better things that are waiting down the road.

The cost of addiction

Appreciating being alive!

The funny thing about addicts...

Addicts makes me laugh when they talk about how they are gettin high all day and when they sit and go on about how they deal drugs and get wasted everyday. They are proud of this and they will often make fun of people who don't do drugs because they think their lives are lame without drugs. All I can do is laugh.. If they are proud of it, they won't care what you say to advise them against it.

Cowards....

I absolutely hate watching people, especially other writers accuse and point fingers over and over again. Blaming everyone but yourself is nothing but a spineless manipulative jerk act. Who the hell are you to point fingers? No one opened your mouth and forced drugs and alcohol down your throat. You had a choice so stop accusing everyone else for attention and desperation that people will feel bad for you. Your realism and saying, " this was all on me", will surely make a better story than, "it was all their fault..."
You step on the toes too much and it will back fire. Take responsibility and grow up! Stop being a lame ass.

Freedom!

Drugs and alcohol enslave you. You can't get by without it, at least it makes you feel that way. Drugs make you desire them and more and more. They trick you, they push you and take your lunch money. Why wouldn't you want to escape that?

Crossing into sobriety

Twiddling our thumbs

I am a terrible procrastinator. I am easily distracted and I tend to focus on only that one thing until it bores me.. Ugh. But when I want it bad enough.. I make sure to put forth the effort. It's not gonna fall in my lap and no ones just gonna hand it to me, so for me, its always time to go to work!

Nothing stays the same

What is your success story?

Everyone has their own way of finding success in recovery. Mine was driving as fast as I could away from the people who refused to allow me to quit drugs.

The brave ones in recovery

Don't ever let anyone tell you that choosing recovery doesn't take courage. It takes a strong person to begin a full blown challenging process. You know going into it, that it will be testing but you chose it anyways.. Standing up to a challenge shows courage and desire. Conquer it and move forward.

The healing process

I see so much blame for others addiction. There is a time to be the victim and a time to take responsibility. If you ALWAYS play the victim card, you start to look like a manipulator. You can't go through life saying it is everyone else's fault you were an addict. No one forced it on you. You made that decision, you did it!. Playing the victim card is only good for the first level then no more. If you USE your addiction for benefits and attention then you will never heal. Why wouldn't you want to heal?

There are no excuses for not being able to get sober

Too many excuses.. I made plenty. I have written about how I made so many. There are no good reason to keep doing drugs and getting drunk. Stress, depression, lack of willpower, can't... Those are not a good reason.. Just a lame excuse, so stop it!

Get over your ego

In the world of blogging and writing, you have a lot of competition. Having the most followers and likes is NOT what makes you better. It is how true you are to what you write and how well you reach others. By that I mean real help, not a fan base of desperation and confusion. It doesn't matter how many meetings you speak at and how many hands you hold, it matters when you make a real difference.

Sober weekend

I am having a great sober weekend! Are you?

How to spend time sober

Taking the steps

I honestly have not had any desire to use drugs in the last couple years.. doesn't mean I still don't have to consider what I do and how I handle situations that can lead to another addiction or a slip up. Baby steps....
