The lies we tell

We all lie, you might read that, and I have immediately triggered you; something inside of you just got looked at. — Even though it’s hiding behind many faces/egos/who you think you are/ want to be.

When you are sober, dating a drinker is more challenging than you might think.

When I first quit drinking, I was single and not dating. — I had no plans of dating for at least a year; I had attended AA meetings in the past, and I remember that being one of the most critical parts of sobriety, working on yourself and learning to be with yourself and your feelings without the influence of someone else…

When did single middle-aged women become the enemy?

Down the rabbit-hole one too many times. — This morning I woke up in a panic and cold sweats. Then once I was fully awake, I realized it was still dark outside, and I was alone. Alone, that was not part of the nightmare, but it weighs heavily on my mind. I am alone; I am not lonely…
