This was a hard listen, but reframed the Epstein issue beyond Trump. Beyond the flashy headlines, this is an issue of the wealthy and powerful take advantage and abusing the underage and weak and thinking they would not only get away with it, but are entitled.

Why Is Calling People In Recovery So Hard? The phone is not 500 pounds. It just feels that way

Confession: I'm terrible at calling people in recovery right now.
I know it helps. I know the phone works. I still don't do it.
So I wrote this for you, but also for me. #sobersky

@mnangryman.bsky.social Heard you with @timodc.bsky.social and @thebulwark.com. Great job. Love when you go from mild Minnesota accent to pissed with edge in your voice. If I lived in MN, I’d be out with you.

The Tragedy of Chicago - Part 1 I thought Chicago was a band cranking out power ballads that Peter Cetera fronted, then left in the the 80's. The truth was far more fascinating and dark than I imagined.

On my second substack I did an addiction deep dive on the band Chicago. Something anyone in recovery can relate to. So much went wrong and so many opportunities to right the ship, never happened. open.substack.com/pub/genxplay...

I’m horrified by Rob Reiner’s passing. Horrified. I don’t know what to say. Heartbreaking.

"In our addiction, we didn't care. We didn't care about other people...We didn't care for ourselves...We didn't care about living...In our recovery, we do care. We care about others, ourselves & life. Our spirits are on the move again.
There's life in our hearts...And we're daring to dream... -KIS

Don't Wait for Rock Bottom Why the concept of "hitting bottom" keeps people drinking longer than they should

You don't have to wait for rock bottom to stop drinking. #sobersky open.substack.com/pub/soberfri...

Do you think he’s painting the middle of his hand or that he’s painting around the middle and that color in the center is the real tone?

Most people stop at episode 12. Or less. Keeping on at 174 is pretty awesome!

I'm so fortunate not to be alone. This is a reminder that a lot are. If you have an alcathon near you, go. You might be helping someone alone and struggling.

I'll make fun of his stupidity. But I empathize with his illness. I want him to get healthy.

Acceptance Is Not Giving Up Last week, I received a message through my Buzzsprout page that stopped me in my tracks.

Acceptance works every time it's tried. So why is it so hard? #sobersky

I’ve had Lyme Disease for almost two weeks. You better believe I’m going to slather bug spray on me next time I go to the garden. I would not wish this on my worst enemy. #sobersky
