After the Fire: Post-Alcoholic Marriage Recovery Advice, Part One
http://afterthefire1964.blogspot.com/2015/04/post-alcoholic-marriage-recovery-advice.html
Monday, April 27, 2015. Post-Alcoholic Marriage Recovery Advice, Part One. Part One - Be Very Careful About Jumping Back Into the Game. I have a rather recently divorced friend who posted a picture on Facebook yesterday with the caption, "It's better to have nobody than to have someone who is half there, or doesn't want to be there." I happen to agree completely with this sentiment. However, my friend posted "Actually NOT.Half there is great because then I could still have me time.". Ok - so I am too old...

Tuesday, June 9, 2015. It Just Gets Me in the Gut. Recently it seems like I am encountering folks dealing with loved ones' addiction issues all over the place. A colleague in martial arts just had his drug-addicted daughter relapse and run away leaving him and his wife with her two little babies (less than a year apart! It Just. Gets. Me. In. The. Gut. I know that there are happy endings often. In the cases above there will not be. I feel so awful for these friends and colleagues of mine. But there it is.

My new sober adventure! Things I won’t miss about drinking. 8220;Life didnt get any easier when I got sober but it got real fucking clear! December 2, 2016. December 2, 2016. I read a quote on a blog yesterday that perfectly describes early sobriety for me. 8220;Life didn’t get any easier when I got sober but it got real fucking clear! I’m reminded of the poem by By Dr. Seuss. Oh, the Places You’ll Go! Today is your day. You’re off to Great Places! You’re off and away! You have brains in your head. And Y...

My new sober adventure! Things I won’t miss about drinking. December 8, 2016. December 8, 2016. So my life made way for a more subdued rebellion, the playdates sozzled with wine. The ‘mummy’ friend sessions where everyone is downing. As fast as they can. I felt like I lost my ‘rock chick’ forever meanwhile she was just drowning in. So my new act of rebellion is being happily sober and proud of it, I think that’s pretty bad-ass. Tears, tantrums, Ikea and cigarettes…. 20 thoughts on “ Be a rebel. Just This...

My new sober adventure! Things I won’t miss about drinking. December 30, 2016. Happy new year sober peeps! See you on the other side.xxx. The beginning of the end. December 28, 2016. When I heard the voice that morning I was shaking. My hands were shaking so much I couldnt hide it anymore! I STRUGGLED to drink my coffee. Every morning I woke up with the shakes. I tried to rationalise it and kept saying to myself, come one you’re on holiday, everyone is drinking! I don’t have any grand plans for 201...

My new sober adventure! Things I won’t miss about drinking. Chewing my arm off. January 14, 2017. Now that the Christmas hysteria is over I need to put my big girls pants on and sort this shit out. So today is day 3 AND I want to chew my arm off and punch people in the face and steal my children’s sweets…. I don’t want to be a smoker; it makes me tired and costs an absolute fortune. I want to do YOGA and lots of it! I can’t do proper Ujjayi. What my lapses and relapses have taught me. January 8, 2017.

My new sober adventure! Things I won’t miss about drinking. Tell me why I don’t like Fridays. September 30, 2016. October 19, 2016. I don’t mind Fridays these days it’s just that I don’t have the same amount of anticipation around the day that I used to. In truth I could have easily slipped into the driving under the influence thing. In South Africa it’s very common as there is no public transport system to speak of. I was forwarded a joke the other day by a friend of mine. ‘In Jo...Fridays meant I could...

An evolving tale of a new life in recovery. The Cast of Characters. December 1, 2014 in Uncategorized. I really don’t want to turn this into a dating blog. But, dating is part of this new life in recovery for me.

Now we have Online Guy. We scheduled a time to meet. A “do-over,” as he called it. We made plans as he w...
