  • When Did This Become Spiritual?

    Have you ever been on a journey, even if it was an accidental one, just to realize that what you thought was the cause of it, was something entirely different?

  • Maggie the Dog…

  • Desperate to Quit . . .

    My drinking got so bad. To the point where I was consumed by it 24/7, in one way or another. I was drinking heavily and waking up hung-over almost every… single… day. My average work day was long, dreadful, and just awful. The only time I really ended up sober were the few hours in Read more

  • Vacation & drinking. . .

    Quitting drinking gets easier. I feel it all the time. It takes some work though, and I hope you’re willing to test yourself when you’re ready. If you’re like me and you drank lots and lots of alcohol for many many years, you have all those memories stuck in your head. When you have so Read more
