Let me summarize how life has become even more difficult in the past 24 hours. First of all, Supermum lost her job yesterday. Just like that, my parents are both unemployed and we are uninsured come May. How can hard-working, honest, creative, energetic and thoughtful people be dismissed? What kind of mother-fucking, conservative, gun-toting jerks dismiss my mom, the most tolerant, easy-going person I know? I can’t wrap my mind around it, so I’ll leave it at that for now.
Secondly, I really like my nutritionist, but even I cannot fully appreciate one’s expertise when one tells me that I cannot consume starches of any sort for a month. After that month of letting my stomach and other organs heal, I can try and see how much starch I can tolerate.
This is all too intense to dwell on right now, so I’m signing off. I usually wouldn’t say something like this: but keep us in your thoughts.

A Bedtime Story
Once upon a time, a long time ago there was an amazing kingdom, a kingdom like no other. In this kingdom there was no such thing as calories, or fats, and as a matter of fact the word DIET didnt’ exist. A serving size was based on being hungry, and it stopped when you were …
A Appropriate Pension Program Can Help
Nothing lasts forever, maybe not beauty, nor wellness and neither the youth. Finally one after another, these once assets disappear with time as well as of your existence betray you. The one thing that someone can perform will prepare yourself for the long run. Of foreseeing what could function as a potential helping hand in …
99/13 Action!
Today I have 99 days sober and 13 days abstinent. I’m doing so well! I went to this great meditation meeting this morning with a friend of mine. I wasn’t in the mood to go, but taking the action makes the difference. I’m going to do an OA phone meeting at 2:00, and then go …
98/12 Living Amends
Today I have 98 days sober and 12 days abstinent. I went to a meeting this morning, and it was such a powerful meeting. When I really listen, no matter what my frame of mind is, I get so much from any meeting that I go to. I can identify with any speaker. One of …
95/9 My Magic Magnifying Mind
Everything is just so intense in living sober and abstinent and not using the crutches that normally would have dulled my feelings. Being sober and abstinent is like being on acid, in a sense. If I had known this when I was 17, it may have prompted me to get sober quicker. All of my senses are heightened. …
94/8
Today I have 8 days of abstinence. This is the most time I’ve ever had. I think this, combined with my 94 days of sobriety is making me a little more emotional than usual. Yesterday I was supposed to take a chip at a meeting I go to, and I was too scared to get up …
91/5 A Good Day
Today was a really good day. I’ve finally hit my 90 days in sobriety! I celebrated at my homegroup tonight, and one of my favorite ladies in the rooms, Wendy, pinned me with a 90 day pin. I was really nervous to get up and speak but it felt really great to tell everyone about my …
89/3 How Important Is It, Anyway?
Today I stayed very focused on my priorities-my two main priorities being my sobriety and my abstinence. I truly believe that if I put both my sobriety and my abstinence first in my life, everything else will fall into place. But I also believe strongly that anything I put before my sobriety I will lose, because …
88/2 Gratitude
Today I am grateful. I am so grateful for the friends I have in the rooms. I am surrounded, absolutely surrounded, by alcoholics who love and care about me, and only want to see me get well. This morning I felt a little bit off, but I took care of my sobriety first and now …
87/1 Success!
I had a successful day, although it wasn’t as productive as I had intended it to be! But that’s ok. Today, I have 87 days sober and 1 day abstinent, I went with my friends and brought a wonderful meeting to a really great group in Kinnelon, NJ, I did my morning OA phone meeting at …
