The De-glorification of Rehab

I don’t care what you see on TV, unless you or someone who really cares about you is rolling in cash, you’re not going to see a rehab in Malibu.  Not even close. Not to mention, I will never trust a rehab facility run by a guy named Pax who claims that he used to […]

Life on the Inside

   I’m in another program.  All part of the quest to get my shit together.  While I’m still picking up the pieces from my tremendous fall off the wagon a few weeks ago, life continues to happen anyway and I’m trying to catch back up to it. The Congressional Inquiry at the VA Hospital is […]

Pieces, some together, some scattered

It’s been a bit since my last post and I wanted to give you guys and gals an update.  It’s got kind of serious around here lately and with good reason but I do want to start to move back toward the funny since that is kind of what I started this blog for.  To […]

A short update

I have been trying to move some things along and hopefully I’ll get somewhere because of the message I sent to my Congressman.  At least that is what I hope has been the fire that has been lit.  I spoke with the Congressman’s office today and I was assured that the paperwork that was supposed […]

Another view of my alcoholism

One thing I have never done here is to show you what my alcohol issue does to those around me.  In this case, I’m going to give you, in Liz’s words, what she came home to this time.  This is hard for me to do, because it isn’t pretty, but I wanted to give her […]

Another day of nowhere

First, to those of you who have sent me donations, thank you, thank you, thank you.  It hasn’t got anywhere near what I need, but I know that those of you who have given have done what you can and I deeply appreciate it.  I won’t name anyone by names but you know who you […]

Help a Veteran

I’ve been sort of posting this around, but seriously guys, I can use all the help I can get. I would be forever greatful if you all could help me. Please know that I am doing everything I can to get where I need to be and I just keep hitting walls. I just need […]

I’m alright, probably

That song probably wouldn’t have been as popular if Kenny Loggins had titled it that way. Life is still all weird, as I suppose it will be for a while now.  I’m still looking for a place to live and a job to start but unfortunately, people who have jobs and places to live aren’t […]

Trying to pick up the pieces

It’s an Eminem kinda day.  I just want to cuss and find all the good words for lady parts and just shout them out an open window. A relapse to me seems like the end of the world sometimes.  You just have to fight whether you want to or not.  Most of the time you […]
