ENTRY: Spirituality, On Your Terms
I will honestly tell you that I hate going to church with my parents. Yes, ’tis true. I really do not enjoy the mandatory, mind you, action of attending Catholic mass with my family. Typically, especially as of recently since I’ve been working on a more full-time basis, when I’m home, I want to stay … Continue reading ENTRY: Spirituality, On Your Terms
FROM 1 ADDICT 2 ANOTHER: Gratitude Lists
Today, on Twitter, I had the pleasure of talking to a very sweet, fellow recovering addict. She is allowing me to post her handle on the site, it's @jonniqueen. Let me tell ya, this girl is infinitely wise; I found her to be incredibly insightful and it was a great pleasure to exchange words with her. … Continue reading FROM 1 ADDICT 2 ANOTHER: Gratitude Lists
ENTRY: Positive ‘Stepping Stones’
Yesterday, I chaired the peer-support group that I came up with called, "Stepping Stones."

If an effort to attain actual recovery is carried out, no matter what that entails... it really is just, such a stirring, compelling notion. Generally speaking, in order to experience a prominent sense of closure to one’s active … Continue reading ENTRY: Making a Vision a Dream Come True
MEDIA: Slam Song
I'm a passionate musician. I love songwriting. This track is actually on my next record that hasn't even been released, but I thought this tune would be appropriate to post. It is a bit graphic, and it's not a typical song. It's basically like a poetry slam song. You know slam poetry? Basically the physical … Continue reading MEDIA: Slam Song
Drugs Suck, but the People that Use them Do Not
I’m sick of hearing the word "opioid." Especially when it's from the mouth of a non-addict. They don't know the severity and true & totally utter pain that a SUD can inflict. I don't even think non-addicts could make a valid attempt to understand it. Even when I was actively using drugs several years ago, … Continue reading Drugs Suck, but the People that Use them Do Not
