Stephen King states he doesn’t remember writing Cujo, stating it occurred in a period where he was struggling with alcohol and cocaine addiction. Man, I wish I would’ve wrote novels when I was blacking out.
The only thing that makes this nightmare of a life worth living, is love. It doesn’t have to be romantic, could be friends or family, art or music, a pet, just love something.
I remember when I first got sober, I spent weeks sleeping on my grandparents couch. I have my own place, but I felt like that was where I needed to be. They didn’t even think twice, they welcomed me with open arms and that’s a debt and love that I can never repay.
I was talking recovery with someone and they said, “I’m surprised you made it this far, I’m proud of you.” Lmao, that’s not really a compliment, but yeah me too.
It wasn’t often Zdzisław Beksiński strayed from his palette of dystopian brown and fervid reds, but he does deep sea blues likes he’s been doing them all along.
Some people choose not to be organ donors? I can’t imagine why? If I die, take it all. You can ride my body down a hill like a toboggan for all I care.
My boss was upset about something, so to make her laugh I said, “I’m sorry Jenny” with that Forest Gump voice, cuz her name’s Jenny. It just made her angrier.
I will always have love for twitter, the mental health and recovery community here is something beautiful and supportive. I’ve met SO amazing friends in

, even if Twitter implodes, I wouldn’t trade the time I’ve had with them for anything.
Someone made an offhand comment along the lines of, “how could someone beg for money.” A person unaware of how grateful they should be, that they’ve never been desperate, that’s privilege right there.
There’s a religious organization in the adjacent building, which I’m fairly certain is a cult. BUT they always bring us their extra donuts on Sunday’s.
Nope (2022) is easily, easily the best movie of the year. A truly visceral experience in IMAX. I haven’t been horrified like that since I was traumatized by Fire in the Sky (1993) as a child. Now that’s fucking horror.
I stopped off at my grandparents after playing racquetball and all my gear was sticking out of my backpack and my grandma was like, “you look like a ninja turtle.” Thanks?
Works been pretty stressful so I made a trip to the donut shop, as one does. Anyway, the girl must have seen my shell shocked face cuz she gave me an extra donut. The universe granted me a bonus stress donut.
Just because I don’t agree with some of your opinions or you don’t agree with some of mine. Doesn’t mean I don’t want to be friends. I’m here for recovery, and we’re here to help each other. That’s my number 1 priority.

Fentanyl overdoses No. 1 cause of death among US adults, surpassing suicide AND car accidents. 2 of the 3 deaths of despair are represented here, drug overdose and suicide. Don’t let anyone ever tell you there isn’t a mental health crisis in America, EVER.
Remember, your company doesn’t care about you. Take care of your health, take care of your mental health. Taking a mental health day isn’t a crime, even if they make you feel like it is.
Haven’t smoked a cigarette is 6 days, I’ve been much more irritable, moody and angry and I’ve had a general distaste for anything or anyone. On the other hand, I’ve noticed an increase in performance during my cycling to trail running. Let’s hope my mood improves soon.
My dog Hank passed this morning at the age of 13. He was looking up at the mountains and sky and went peacefully. I’m absolutely gutted and just kinda empty. I don’t have the motivation to be social so I’ll be back in a couple days. See you in a bit my friends.
It’s been 24 days of sobriety, and my mental and emotional strength is starting to return 💪 I’m beginning to normalize sobriety and fitness again and it feels great.
