This is an extract from a longer podcast about CREATIVITY. but this little chunk here, this stand-alone piece, is about how you can’t hide when it’s one-on-one and it’s a story about my physiotherapist making me do core-muscle training. I know, this seems like it has NOTHING to do with being sober, but you’ll see. … Continue reading omm337.creativity →

omm400.better.boundaries.dont.suck

Today’s new OMM is one i’ve recorded in response to this email i got – and her request for an ass-kicking!
penpal Dusquene (day 123) sent me this: “I’m sober, but my emotions are all over the map. Really strong shit. Really strong. It’s been a bit hard to keep Wolfie at bay I will also confess that I’ve not been using my support tools. I told myself I’m too tired … So if you want to kick me in the ass — give me Toughlove — you can. I’m just being honest.
… My brain is taking off and won’t stop. I usually drank when this happened. Wolfie tells me that I can’t stand the feelings, that it will always be this way so why not open that bottle?!?  Not doing it but damn this is hard…
I’m not gonna lie, I still have a fantasy sitting down in a nice restaurant or comfy space, and being able to totally enjoy one glass of something. Not going to work, but that still there. And I hate Wolfie for that thought. Hate him.
And then the thoughts about “what’s wrong with me”?  Seriously. I’m supposed to embrace this choice positively, but I’m not there. All I see is deprivation … My rational mind can’t grasp this. It should be open and shut. Yet I still desire that liquid that is poison. For me.
Not drinking today. But I’m raw. Oooffff”
[and when you listen to the OMM, you’ll hear what i have to say!]

omm399.alcohol.isnt.a.solution

my penpal Karensoffthesauce sent me this on her day 33: “I got a little frustrated today. You sent an email out today about someone feeling left out and they were on day 66. She was fighting with Wolfie regarding the nice day and everyone was on the patio drinking, etc. She has exactly the double time that I do. And she still has to deal with Wolfie. I was really hoping it would get a lot better by then. I know everyone is different, but man, it’s tough.”
So this OMM is my reply to Karensoffthesauce. about what she’s looking for, and how to get it <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/1f642.png" alt="

omm398.continuous

Once you’ve had a small period of time sober, even a few weeks, something happens in your head. And if you DO relapse again, you’ll realize something about your sobriety that you didn’t think was possible.
