Are we on fire today fire gang
Repost if youre on fire

I've been thinking about drinking. Wouldn’t it be so chic? So reckless? So utterly French?

I for one agree with Gerard Way when he said I don’t wanna make it, I just wanna

Those moments are so mundane but so perfect when you tune into them. Like, why did I ever do things differently??

I wasn’t following but I am now! Thank you for bringing that to my attention 💚

Of course!

A breakfast of pure, unrepentant pleasure: Emmental and pumpkin seed crispbread, cheese spread—thick— (because subtlety is for people with self-control), ham, and finally, a sharp cheddar finale, sealing the deal with a bold, tangy kiss. 🤌 #Sunday

We Go Again On sobriety, seasons of change, and learning to live without running.

I did a thing and started a silly little Substack for my silly sober musings. 🙃

A quiet kind of magic. New fleece, gentle walk, a meal that tastes like magic. The warmth of a body beside mine, the calm of a night unblurred. My life stitched back together, moment by moment. And in the morning, nothing lost—only light. Delicious. #sobersky

Can we put low rise trousers back in the time capsule where they belong pls?

Congratulations! Keep going ✊🏻

It's not doomscrolling, it's just hunting for anxiety truffles

I wish libraries did reading challenges for grown-ups. I would love to read 5 books and then get a bookmark. 5
10 and then get a baseball cap.

Spoiler alert: the first few (hundred) times we ask ourselves "what do I need right now?" in trauma recovery, the answer's going to come back "NOTHING!", "who cares?", or "what kind of trick is this?"

That's just old conditioning. Keep asking.

Same 🙃 hope you feel better soon!

Quite appropriate for what is currently going on! #SoberSky #RecoveryPosse #SobrietyRocks

5 things I learned in treatment:
- You can’t “win” at healing (I tried)
- Quitting one bad habit doesn’t mean you won’t replace it with another
- People will love you, even when you’re a mess
- Rest won’t kill you. Burnout might.
- The only way out is through

Thank you.

Thank you. Today is a better day, improved greatly by a lack of a hangover!

I am done in today. Full of a cold, exhausted, overwhelmed. All of those familiar demons chattering away in my head. I will stay sober because that’s the only way. My body needs rest and comfort, not poison. #sobersky

Any and all progress in trauma & addiction recovery is better late, and/or messy, than never.

Don't let anyone tell you different-- including you.

I’ve shapeshifted so many times I should have my own folklore.

I don’t know if I’m in my hero’s journey or my villain era, but I do know this: the old story doesn’t fit anymore. So I’m writing a new one. Maybe burning a few pages.

Anyone else?

Beautiful!

supporting your public library is so sexy

Keep going back. It works if you work it!

Three cheers for independent bookstores!

New day. Fresh start. Clean slate.

I am slowly learning that I don’t have to have everything figured out - I just have to keep showing up. One step, one moment, one choice at a time.

Wishing everyone a steady and peaceful day ✌️

Some days it comes easier than others. 6 months is wonderful, well done!

4 months sober.

Grateful to wake up this morning without a hangover, feeling in control and more capable of handling whatever life throws at me. Recovery is possible. #sobersky
