from Crones of Anarchy: "I'll quit drinking if you let me run the Pentagon" is the most alcoholic thing anybody has ever said. IYKYK #CronesOfAnarchy #AlcoholicsAnonymous #Recovery @CronesOfAnarchy
2 years sober from alcohol... I didn't think it was possible
And I'm not sure if I could have done it without the support of my wife, my friends, and AA
My heart has been recovering and no longer need an ablation, at least for now
Been the victim of a right wing deep fake video campaign to defame me, lost a child, was discriminated against and fired, and suffered from avoidant personality disorder
Yet here I am... alcohol free...
Well fuck.

6 Picturesque Small Towns in Vermont for a Weekend Retreat

It is great to be seeing something about Brattleboro again that doesn't have to do with our evidently high crime rate.
Brattleboro is not the only place that does well in these surveys of Vermont towns. So do Manchester, Montpelier, Shelburne, and Stowe. This, though, is the first I remember seeing of Dorset. Dorset is historic in several ways I know of. One of the founders of a life-saving organization, Alcoholics Anonymous, was a Dorset native. In recent times, some degree of mirth was produced when his childhood home was crashed into by a drunk driver. Simeon Pease Cheney (1818-1890), a singer in the musical Cheney Family of Vermont, settled in Dorset. He is remembered still for promoting singing conventions.

Random thought... why do we have alcoholics anonymous and not smokers anonymous?
Is it that for most parts of the world alcohol addiction pre-dates smoking as an addiction, or that the negative effects of smoking were only recently stigmatized?
Or maybe smoking isn't considered an addiction or one that deserves meetings about it?
I never thought I'd make it this far but part of me wonders if it's worth it considering all of the hate and terror organizations out there and no rights to our own bodies. The men, the Christian's, and the nazi groups, I'm scared to leave the house; might be a good time to pick up drinking again.
30 years without a drink is a long time. An unbelievably long time when I consider there was once a time I couldn't go 30 hours without a drink. I am very grateful to all the people that helped me along the way. They taught me a lot of wisdom and showed me a lot of love.
33 years of continuous #sobriety, thanks entirely to #AlcoholicsAnonymous.
And maybe the prayers of my grandmother.
Is it my sober Jesus year? And what is required if so? Lol
This was always government coercion into religion and I'm glad a court acknowledged it.

I got 1/4 through a Shirley temple before i realized it didn't taste right
I was served an alcoholic drink when I asked for a non alcoholic drink
245 days of sobriety just got ruined and it wasn't my choice
I'm struggling to fight the urge to start sobbing in the club
I don't use labels like Addict or Alcoholic. It's a life sentence you don't deserve.
There are other paths than Alcoholics Anonymous.

Christ sounded the Clarion Call the day a great-great-Grandaughter of Catherine the Great (four times removed) took her own life. Shortly. afterward, Alcoholics Anonymous made the decision to change from a fellowship of men and women to a fellowship of people.
In large part, AA has become an intake facility run by whores who have sold their lives out to demons.

Currently reading On the Tail of a Comet, a #biography of Frank Buchman, founder of the #OxfordGroups (later Moral Rearmament) and from which #AlcoholicsAnonymous (#AA) sprung (the former was explicitly #Christian, the latter #Spiritual). Fascinating and confusing.
For real, curating what comes into my brain helps keep me #sober.
As a person with a long history of trying to change what I can't change.
