Have you ever lied to your doctor about how much you drink? I’ve been known to stretch the truth a time or two. As in “a couple glasses of wine” being ‘weekly’ vs the actual ‘not quite daily, but sometimes’. Truth be told, I have actually thought about not taking something I’ve been prescribed because …
Happy Mabon! Mabon, or the Autumn Equinox, began yesterday (the 21st of September) and ends today. It is a time to give gratitude, to celebrate the 2nd harvest, and to reflect on the year. Time to recognize your successes and time to let go of things that did not serve you during the past year. …
I had set out to write daily, however after almost a month and a half I’m finding I just don’t have as much to say. As much as I’m trying to build routine and discipline (I actually had to think for awhile what that word was....guess that shows how much I’m lacking in it! Ha!) …
For some reason, I thought I’d revisit reading ‘Go Ask Alice’ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_Ask_Alice) which I thought was a diary of a real 15yr old girl who gets pulled in to drugs, sex and running away from home - but I’ve since learned has a lot of controversy around it, some of which because it is likely …
“Either you run the day or the day runs you.”That was the message on my Sober Time app today....at one month and 7 days. It’s true though - the way your day starts typically determines how the rest of it will go. My morning routine on days I didn’t have to go to the office …
I was catching up with a friend last night that I haven’t spoken to in a few months. He said that I was “eerily calm”. I think I’ve just been learning how to roll with the punches a bit more. Let’s be real...I still get worked up about things...I definitely have my moments of frustration …
The social aspect seems to be getting a wee bit easier, which is nice. Yesterday was brunch....had a virgin Bloody Mary, which was delicious. The only annoying part was the waiter’s reaction when the other’s ordered non-virgins as he was cheering on the fact that they were doing it ‘properly’ and actually asked me if …
Hold the presses! OMG! I think I may have found a lovely substitute for red wine...that is not grape juice, or any other kind of sweet juice! Last night the girls were getting together and the choices of venue were: wander the barrio till we found an terrace that had space...a restaurant that had wine …
For the first few weeks...almost the first month, I felt amAZEing! I was perky and cheerful and felt like I could take on the world. But now, 1 month and 3 days in... (thud). I feel like I’ve hit the pavement. This past work week has been a heavy-duty one. And because I am the …
I find myself going back and forth between why I decided to take this break... and the thought that perhaps I’m hitting a nail with a sledgehammer. When I was talking to my bestie last night, she mentioned that she typically has 1 - 2 glasses of wine a night, 5 days a week...most people …
