My AA sobriety date is 8 3 90, in Al-Anon since 2017. My kids and loved ones and clients are all queer brown disabled and stuff. Resist. LCSW, NC, a pit bull calls me ma. Not giving away my peace and joy, just for today. #RecoveryPosse

I really don’t like it when folks badtalk AA because of bits and out of context pieces they have heard. Or they had a bad experience with a family member going in and out of the program.

But, the thing is. (Especially when the science community misrepresents things) it can kill people.

FWIW

I started just recently to put details into my journal that normally I would leave out:

Latino/a
Chinese
Mexican
Autistic
Bipolar
etc.

I do this to put them back into the conversation and hopefully people's understandings/hearts

34 people killed in 50 days. Their guilt or innocence unknown, for an alleged crime that doesn't carry a death sentence. That's a lot of death.

When they tell you they plan on throwing out the constitution, believe them.

There was a rocking chair with horns at the thrift store yesterday.

Learned a new acronym*: pause action until sanity emerges = PAUSE.

*in my #AA meeting, not in the thrift store.

Happy #sober Saturday, friends.

Got to see Elvis Costello!!!!! 71 going so strong, just lovely ♥️♥️♥️

Kinda making my bucket list up as i go along: there's a thing-I'll regret not doing it-let's go.

Also doing things i missed out on as a blackout drunk = healing.

Went apartment hunting with 21💞, found a place he likes, then tried out all the mattresses at Macy's. 🙃

My kids are doing the things I've talked myself out of, like moving to san francisco and buying a new mattress. 💪 Wonder what's next.

Wanting to read & share good news for a change.

Traded cars for a while w my friend who's having a #sciatica flare, he is thrilled about not having to shift, seat warmer, & the key that pops out like a switchblade (which he thinks is cool. Unrelated to sciatica.😅)

So, something we tried worked.🙏

Chose to tell them i qualify because I have mental health issues, which is true, but that's a weird thing to have to do to get a shot. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Before sitting on the porch couch at the rental 23💞 shares w his partner and roommate please lift up the cushions to check for blue skinks.

His partner's easel is out here across from 23's potter's wheel and houseplants. He's that person who coaxes orchids to bloom again and again.
