85 Days Sober – Recovery Blogs Talking Honestly about Addiction

Here’s another round of kick-ass blogs I’ve been reading. I hope you enjoy!

There is so much strength and wisdom in the recovery community. Thanks for sharing so honestly online.

Claire – you’re my new favorite writer. Seriously.

Megan – I love your self honesty, I’m learning so much from your story.

A Letter To Myself

Laura – I love how you answer the question, “Am I an alcoholic?” You nailed it. Alcohol isn’t our friend, even if we wish it was.

Sarah – Your story made me think of how I treated my x-wife. Not sure how to respond except, “I was wrong, I’m sorry, and I love you.”

The Day I Died

Mark – Thanks for sharing your struggles and helping me with mine.

The Struggle

Ritchie – This is awesome, so much encouragement when we fight this thing together. It was awesome when you added up everyone’s sober count.

Paul – Keep speaking up. Guys like me need to hear it. Your blog is kicking my ass in a good way.

Anger Trigger Warning: I disagree with the following article. I know drinking is a choice (raise glass, swallow poison) but that doesn’t mean alcoholism isn’t a disease. I’m reading shit like this because I want to stay open minded. I can’t speak for anyone but myself and the theories below do not explain my experience.

Addiction is NOT a Brain Disease, It is a Choice

Twitter Still Rocks

Sometimes you just need someone to tell you you're not as terrible as you think you are. #KeepTalkingMH

what I love about twitter: even in their darkest hour, people take the time to ask if others are ok. #KeepTalkingMH #WorkWithToday

This life
I accept
Mine
Tarnished
Pieces lost
Missing parts
Poor function
Yet going
Forward
Broken
Despite
Myself
