What do I say When Someone Gives Me A Drink?
I’m afraid to tell them no!
It’s “HURRICANE SEASON” as some of my peeps in recovery like to say. Holiday season for the rest of the world. So this question comes up more than normal.
Going out when you no longer drink
It was obvious how others were getting hammered and not realizing the costs of getting wrecked when they could have been having fun without it.
*new* Plain Language Big Book from AA?
I think the idea of it would probably have been helpful to me when I first came in trying to read this stuff. I could definitely imagine how this would work for others too.
ScoreKeeper No More
Today is my birthday,
which also used to be known as Score Keeping Day. I would spend hours wondering who would remember it was my birthday. Which family members, sponsees, or friends would forget? Who would just text instead of calling? Who forgot mine even though I remembered theirs? Let’s be honest, every day was Score Keeping Day, my birthday only made it more apparent.
Trying Hard To Stop but it’s not working
As someone with ADHD, I subscribe to a bunch of ADHD-related content. HowToADHD is one of my favorites. So when I watched this video, even though it was directed at people with ADHD it's completely relevant to anyone with addictive behaviors too.
Living Sober. Actionable things to live by
I wish I knew about this book on Day 1 of my recovery. My sponsor probably told me about it but I was still too hard-headed to listen in early days.
