Chef de Partie at a private residential recovery center. Husband, father, grandfather, writer, avid reader, mental health and addiction recovery advocate.
Probably the busiest two days I can recall. I'm beat. The pleasure of serving a big spread to the residents, unparalleled. But my last holiday visit after work with my daughter and SIL, and my two grandsons, 1 and 3, and Hearing "Hi Grandpa!" when I walked in the door......
The best ending ever. ❤️

People say music “saved them.”
No.
It just reminds you that you’re still here long enough to do the saving yourself.

When people celebrate #recovery anniversaries I usually reply "good work." Because that, to me, is the key. And it seems to me that too many don't give themselves the accolades they deserve. Seeing yourself as competent can help with navigating all of life. #recoveryposse #empower

One is on the lips, the other is down under.

Remember: you can be understanding, you can be empathetic, you can be kind-- & still hold your boundaries, still assert your preferences, & still be who you are. "Fawning" is not necessary to be a warm, sensitive, attuned person.

Really looking forward to tonight. We follow the Icelandic tradition of Jólabókaflóð, literally 'Christmas book flood'. Rather than watching regrettable repeats on TV, you give each other a book and then settle down with a nice hot chocolate to read them. It's fab! 📚

It’s Christmas Eve, so I’ll probably put my favourite panties on, practice my samurai swords for a while, then fuck myself in the ass with a giant dildo.

After relapse, it's day 1 of continuous sobriety but not of your recovery journey. You've learned things already that will benefit you. I suggest: Analyze what happened, strengthen your recovery plan, reach out for whatever additional assistance you need. #sobriety #recoveryposse #addiction

Merry Christmas Eve. I don’t know what I believe in when it comes to faith. I may never know. But I do believe in the intrinsic good nature of people. Even this year. The loudest voices drown out the melody underneath.
We are the melody. Never forget that. You just have to listen.
