Are You Ready to Break Free from Chemsex?

When it comes to chemsex recovery, I honestly don't prefer the word "cycle". But, similar to "God", using a broadly accepted term maximizes message clarity. I prefer Spiral (not downward, but upward). When I think about my recovery journey, the repeated patterns I experienced (including relapse) ...

Aren't You Tired of Being Upset?

Meth might be your drug of choice, but it isn't your addiction. You are addicted to drama. You've accepted the role of Damsel in Distress. If you're not triggered, you feel bored.

All the Butt Stuff...

If you haven't heard yet, I was dumped. I was told that I didn't do it for him sexually. Right there in bed after a failed attempt to do it for him sexually.

5 Steps to Understanding Willpower

Just because I've been in recovery from meth for six years does not mean I have more willpower than you. It means I set up my environment to make decision-making easier. You aren't weak. You aren't "doing it wrong". You aren't forever an addict. I want you to stop wishing for more willpower and s...

Employment Post-Addiction

Three weeks after quitting crystal meth cold turkey. Three weeks after a year of nearly daily injections. Three weeks into an unknown and overwhelming existence. No car. No home. No money. I had been hired as a server at a taco joint the day my kids picked me up from jail. The inspiration to get ...

Meditation in Recovery

My parTy supplies were kept inside a wooden box with a glass top. The inside was lined with velvet, complete with a strap to hold the pipe and a pocket for the baggie. A crafty buddy of mine fixed it up for me. We used to do a few hot rails, then tackle craft projects and/or dress in drag. The gl...
