In Search of Serenity: Strange Things Happenin'
http://venomousvices.blogspot.com/2015/04/strange-things-happenin.html
In Search of Serenity. Letting Go of Vodka, Vino, and Other Venomous Vices. Wednesday, April 1, 2015. I've mostly been feeling really content. Which is weird. This whole sobriety thing is, well, strange. It isn't easy. It isn't difficult. It's just plain old peculiar. I thought, on multiple occasions today, how I feel like I'm constantly looking forward to something. Like I know. Days as a "life", but I am creating new norms for myself, and my family, every day. Odd and pinch-me-who-am-I. Mishaps occur a...

In Search of Serenity: Two-Week Tears
http://venomousvices.blogspot.com/2015/04/two-week-tears.html
In Search of Serenity. Letting Go of Vodka, Vino, and Other Venomous Vices. Saturday, April 4, 2015. So, last Monday, I had a pretty rough day. Tears threatened to fall pretty much the entire afternoon into the evening. I held them back and promised myself I'd feel it all and let them out once my work and family responsibilities had been met. I blogged that night, meditated, read, and tried really hard to allow those pent-up drops to fall. They didn't come. My alcoholic voice says to fuck it all and get ...

In Search of Serenity: April 2015
http://venomousvices.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
In Search of Serenity. Letting Go of Vodka, Vino, and Other Venomous Vices. Tuesday, April 14, 2015. A Brave New World and.Stuff. So, my first inclination was to start this post with an apology or a self-deprecating statement because I haven't posted in almost a week. But, really, who am I accountable to? But kinda cool, ya know? To be around the people in those rooms. They are like me. They get me. They accept me. I learn from them. I laugh with them. I need to learn and laugh.

In Search of Serenity: 1....2....3....Shuffle
http://venomousvices.blogspot.com/2015/04/123shuffle.html
In Search of Serenity. Letting Go of Vodka, Vino, and Other Venomous Vices. Tuesday, April 7, 2015. I would drink more in a miserable attempt to mute the deafening cluster of thoughts that would keep coming. Finally, I would pass out. My what dances we dance with ourselves, eh? Easy shit, right? I thought I'd master this sobriety thing much like I excel at most things I attempt (humble much, Jill? It dawned on me today, I haven't even really accepted I am an alcoholic. Let the 1,2,3 Shuffle commence!

In Search of Serenity: Quaking Aspen
http://venomousvices.blogspot.com/2015/04/quaking-aspen.html
In Search of Serenity. Letting Go of Vodka, Vino, and Other Venomous Vices. Friday, April 3, 2015. Aspens symbolize determination. They are symbolic of overcoming fear and doubt. They have also been linked to renewal and transformation. I love the symbolism of overcoming and determination. How can these small and frail trees, with their thin and quaking leaves, withstand harsh mountain winters? How can they, year after year, come back even stronger and more beautiful? Find your own path. I frequently go ...

In Search of Serenity: March 2015
http://venomousvices.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
In Search of Serenity. Letting Go of Vodka, Vino, and Other Venomous Vices. Monday, March 30, 2015. Welcome to the Real World. Caution- this will likely be a very long, rambl-y, and disjointed post. Have a whole lot to say about a whole lot of things and, although I am hoping it all comes out more succinct and eloquent than the way it is screaming in my head, I make no promises. Reader Discretion Advised! Enter at Your Own Risk* *. Today, day 9, was really fucking hard. Not in a I really want to drink.
