Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending. – Carl Bard

Happier w/out Weed
I had another glorious day yesterday. Although I didn’t sleep much, I got out of bed and bought a #5 from McDonalds(McGriddle meal) & drove across the street to pick up a cinnamon dolce latte from Starbucks. I came home and savored every morsel. I canceled all my plans for the day because I w...
Saturday around 3pm
It is a beautiful Saturday. I’m still exhausted from the music video shoot, but I managed to get out of bed earlier this morning to buy two venti cinnamon dolce lattes (with 3 pumps instead of 5) from Starbucks earlier. I also wrote a hook and first verse to a new instrumental given to me.…
Sigh – Death is never fair.
I’m so freaking mad or sad. It depends on the second. To begin with I was sad. So sad. Then after more information all I could feel was intense anger with sadness added in. What the f’ing hell was he thinking? Today I missed some calls from my best friend. Followed by a text “V…
Stop taking from me
Addiction takes and takes and takes. It took my sisters life today. I’m worried it’s going to take my other sister soon.
I’m just tired.

Day 8
Another down day. I cant talk about it.
Day 8
Today was harder than yesterday and I'm not even sure why. I caught myself thinking about drinking pretty much most of the day. Distractions didn't seem to work. The Valium helped a bit but not enough. It's like an itch. Keep telling myself that if I just have 1 I'll be okay. Which is of…
Day 7
One week! Today was actually really good. I was at home most of the day alone and kept myself busy with my dogs and gardens. And then just relaxing. I have a bit of a downward stage this afternoon so I did have a Valium. But that's only 1 for today which is a great…
Day 6
Today was an achievement. I have a habit of every Wednesday finishing work at 12.30pm and starting drinking. Always. I couldn't get it out of my head. I even went to the alcohol store and sat outside in my car for about 15 minutes. Reminding myself of why I'm getting sober and also the horrible&h...
