When they tell you they plan on throwing out the constitution, believe them.

There was a rocking chair with horns at the thrift store yesterday.

Learned a new acronym*: pause action until sanity emerges = PAUSE.

*in my #AA meeting, not in the thrift store.

Happy #sober Saturday, friends.

Old looking dark wooden rocking chair with leather seat, back, arm rests. Curved wooden horns emerge toward the top of each side.

When stubbornness gets us results it's the character asset of persistance 😅

Certain therapy techniques help a lot, maybe your provider can recommend an EMDR or somatic therapist??

New this app, having decided to leave the Other Place. I’m a 40s British Guy who’s recovering from using alcohol to numb things and learning how to be alive and handle all the sadness that life brings without drinking. Would appreciate any connections #recoveryposse #sober

Clean bill of health from the dermatologist then did yard work all day

Met this small friend 💞

Got to see Elvis Costello!!!!! 71 going so strong, just lovely ♥️♥️♥️

Kinda making my bucket list up as i go along: there's a thing-I'll regret not doing it-let's go.

Also doing things i missed out on as a blackout drunk = healing.

Bad fuzzy photo of a distant stage with blue and pink lighting. You can see the shadow of the drummer and in front is Mr Costello. Wearing a brimmed white hat, orange blazer, dark pants, gilded cowboy boots and playing a white electric guitar.

Went apartment hunting with 21💞, found a place he likes, then tried out all the mattresses at Macy's. 🙃

My kids are doing the things I've talked myself out of, like moving to san francisco and buying a new mattress. 💪 Wonder what's next.

View of my legs and feet as i lie down on a mattress, beyond my feet more mattresses, above is an unfortunate tiled ceiling.
