My brain has a way of inventing comforting and dangerous lies around my early drinking days. This morning a friend posted a picture from a party circa 2004 that wasn't even of me--it was of a house I lived in when I was about 20, and the picture happened to be in the hallway leading … Continue reading Sober in Vegas: On nostalgia and alcohol

So...I guess from the title the cat's out of the bag. I am expecting a wee one and wooo doggy it's been a ride. A good ride! A hard ride! A strange ride! A fun ride! And there is still a while to go. I wanted to write a post about some of the emotional … Continue reading Sober in Vegas: Thoughts on sobriety and pregnancy

I have so missed being here! Things in my personal world have been good--this is just a time of major transition so I'm trying to keep it together and keep balanced. And sadly I haven't had time to sit and get my thoughts together for a few weeks. Trying not to be too hard on … Continue reading Sober in Vegas: Support For Others

And keeping busy (at least for me...) was key to keeping myself sober. Even though I've been working on my sobriety for over two … Continue reading Sober in Vegas: Weekend Event Links
