Mom ten year passing. Time blows my mind, so does coconut oil. February 12, 2014. Don’t get me wrong, I miss my mom everyday. I know she is probably reading this like, What? Its been ten years, come on! So mom, when you read this from heaven just know, I miss you everyday, not just once a year. Crazy that a decade has passed. The older I get the faster time flies. It makes me sad a little bit but also comes in handy when you only get to see your boyfriend every other week. During the week I am very rigid...

This woman’s work. In treatment at 40. Laughing at me →. Grieving, the right way. October 14, 2013. This last bout of alcoholic bingeing began in earnest January 2013 after a painful breakup with a man I still love. I thought I had moved on and not still working through our break up. But No! And now…I’m struggling to understand my own feelings about him. If I really loved him I would want nothing more than for him to be truly happy and settled, even if it weren’t with me. Right? Laughing at me →. The Boo...

This woman’s work. In treatment at 40. Really real, really. October 28, 2013. At the last AA meeting I attended a guy I hadn’t seen before shared on the topic of gratitude. (I’ve been to maybe 7 meetings in my life…and already this topic makes me inwardly groan AGAIN? Desperate thoughts to find a hook-up. Man or woman. I don’t care. I just want someone. Its all fantasy though. I won’t orgasm with a stranger or just….someone. I’ve tried that, more than once and it only chips ...She wrote so beautifully ab...

This woman’s work. In treatment at 40. Justifiable anger →. 1st AA meeting…ever. October 2, 2013. I liked the meeting. I still find the routine of reading the promises and chanting a prayer together strange. However, I can appreciate that the ceremony of it brings meaning to what the meetings are about. I plan on going to another one at noon today. This entry was tagged #AA #surrender. Justifiable anger →. 2 thoughts on “ 1st AA meeting…ever. October 4, 2013 at 1:47 am. October 14, 2013 at 8:25 pm.

Danielle Navonne: a Writer, experiencing and sharing the journey of life one Word at a time. I Keep My TV in my Closet. This is not some metaphorical title that will have some deep witty meaning by the end of this post. I mean very literally that the only TV in my house, is in my closet. Next to a bag of summer clothes I long to wear, and a pair of stilettos I will probably never wear again). During my 14 months of rebellion, I. I wrote my intentions. Fast forward a year… the intentions. For years I have...

This woman’s work. In treatment at 40. Grieving, the right way. Really real, really →. October 25, 2013. I thought about my ex-husband today and how he used to really make me laugh. I really do like guys that can make me laugh. I then realized that we were both laughing at me usually. He found me to be the source of some pretty good jokes. It dawned on me that generally he didn’t say funny things about other stuff in life. It was always a dig at me. I still love to laugh and like to be around others that...

This woman’s work. In treatment at 40. 1st AA meeting…ever →. September 30, 2013. I drank last night. Almost made it a full 4 weeks this time. I hadn’t taken my antabuse for two days and that rebellious inner me just said “to hell with it, I’m drinking tonight! 8221; So, I didn’t profusely vomit or feel horrible but it was different none the less. The beer didn’t taste the same and the buzz was different too. I start my intensive outpatient program in a few weeks. I am more excited by it now. You are com...

This woman’s work. In treatment at 40. This woman’s work. I quit drinking. After 20 years of partying, the writing was on the wall. I normally just wait to get caught before I straighten my act up. I’m afraid my consequences would be horrendous at this point and if I don’t stop this downward spiral now, I will lose everything. I’ll be 40 soon, I am single with 3 school aged kiddos to care for and I work in a helping profession. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here. Most of this is true.

This woman’s work. In treatment at 40. 1st AA meeting…ever. October 5, 2013. On the 14th. Its gonna be a crazy crazy schedule. So ya, I went to a meeting. And it was a step study meeting and everyone read and shared about step 10 and taking personal inventory. An interesting phrase was discussed…justifiable anger. Now that’s a tough one to not hold on to. People can be real fucking jerks sometimes….but I’m the one with the problem with it? Made me think of my former yard dude. This was a hard one for me&...
