Your illness does not define you. It's your resolve to recover that does.
The Baring Of My Soul
“Colleen, wait up please. I want to talk to you. What are your plans tonight? Can I take you out to dinner?” I look at the man asking me these questions and make up some excuse for why I couldn’t accept his offer. If he was offering me friendship, maybe my answer would have been different but he was asking for a date.

Sober Curious? Take a Break for More Than 30 Days.
For many people, and myself, the question of whether they have a bad relationship with alcohol is one that haunts them for months, if not years, before they take steps to cut it out. They negotiate with their inner voice, insisting for one reason or another that they have control of their drinking; that they could “take a break” whenever they want.

Surviving My First Sober Party. Top Story - December 2021.
I quit drinking well into the throes of the Covid pandemic. We had been on quarantine orders for months at the time and while small, safe gatherings were finally being allowed, Sean and I were still spending 95% of our time at home away from others.

My reflection on my hardships that made me discover my True Self
Maybe there was no answer; the questions had never been asked, so there couldnt possibly be an answer that was known to be correct. Would it be crazy to think I was first to ask such questions? At least id be first at something regardless of whether it is correct or not? How can I ask myself if I'm happy if I don't even understand real happiness without being in a delusional reality? I sit in the office with a wise woman licensed and probably seen alot worse than myself or even too many such as myself as she writes in her book in silence; as I talk, I wonder what she's writing and if my questions even matter.
