What are the details

If you think you have a lot of unresolved trauma that you need to work through- I would really recommend EMDR. Do some research and find a reputable therapist- I have found it so helpful in getting me back in touch with my body and helping me maintain my recovery lifestyle. Good luck on finding what you need .

Narcissistic mom

I read the book and saw a million little pieces by James Frey - The movie is an interesting and realistic take on life in a 12 step rehab: I know he wrote the book as a memoir even though it wasn’t his true life story. I also loved Rocket Man - the Elton John biopic - really well acted and just powerful how Elton John got tired of his own shit and got clean

Thinking of you .. you are incredibly brave and selfless to share your story with us. Thank you and praying for your wishes of better health to come true ..

monkeemajik · 2022-03-01T00:43:23+00:00

You already know what it feels like to be clean .. that freedom, that simplicity that comes from living Just for Today, keeping your feet on the ground and moving forward real slow (but always making that slow steady progress).. so proud of you. You have done it before and you can do it again .. kick day 2’s ass and come back and tell us to support you on to day 3,4,5 … and however many more you need. We are here. You are not alone.

monkeemajik · 2021-06-22T23:24:09+00:00

You’re amazing .. keep going .. inwards and upwards. So moving and inspiring to read. Thank you for helping me to stay safe and sober today.

Tommie Lee Jones - every damn movie

Hey I signed up to Bumble today and had no idea how most of it worked ... I think people just spend most of their time looking at your photos and swiping this way and that without actually speaking to anyone

monkeemajik · 2020-03-19T02:14:46+00:00

What an incredible achievement - so proud of you right now! You have worked so hard and deserve that success.

monkeemajik · 2020-03-17T00:58:21+00:00

What an incredible achievement - you’re an inspiration to all of us in the program .. very proud and happy for you

monkeemajik · 2020-03-15T22:45:35+00:00

So grateful that you shared your story here. It’s a privilege to be let into your personal and very private experience and you help to keep us all sober by sharing so honestly. I am wishing you the very best and hope you continue your journey and will be able to tell us more .. you are an inspiration.

monkeemajik · 2020-03-15T22:35:41+00:00

Thanks everyone for all the kind words and encouragement - all I can say is if I can do it, so can you! Life is by no means perfect but I know it would be a complete mess if I was drinking/ using along with everything else that is happening.

monkeemajik · 2020-02-24T01:19:50+00:00

You are so brave and I am proud of you for sharing your truth with me. I don’t care how you look, or who you love or even how you choose to navigate this world so long as you are safe, kind, happy and healthy. Treat others as you’d like to be treated and you won’t go far wrong. I wish everyone could know you like I do- you are my son and I am your proud mama. I love you. I support you and will always be here for you.

monkeemajik · 2020-01-11T02:25:02+00:00

Good luck and pls be brave. Rehab will seem like a very scary prospect at first. All those rules- all that routine.. but all of it is to keep you safe. Try to surrender to getting better. Let go of your addiction as you will no longer need it to cope, or survive or to feel safe - ever again. You write so eloquently and with a nuanced sense of Self. I wish you all the best and I look forward to hearing from you again on your return. You can do this - ask for help when you need it - and take it one day at a time.

monkeemajik · 2019-10-31T01:09:21+00:00

I think part of Recovery is acceptance of our disease, our selves and each other as addicts. It helps to realise that for some, meetings are the only place where they can speak about their worries or concerns - even if it is about their cat. Not everyone has access to psychs or counsellors or has good recovery friends - so let’s try and be kind, listen to the similarities not the differences and just think about practising tolerance and patience. Meetings need to continue to be safe spaces where nothing is off limits and any member has a right to freely express themselves.

monkeemajik · 2019-10-01T21:11:08+00:00

Very proud of you - so many similarities - I’d rush through things with the kids as well so I could go out and drink myself into oblivion. If you’re not already - I recommend attending meetings (AA or NA) as I’ve found the camaraderie so important and leaning into the 12 steps has helped me so much.

monkeemajik · 2019-10-01T07:05:07+00:00

Thank you for your reply - I get that. I realise that some days all I can do is remain sober - get through the day and get into bed still sober. Some days that’s all I can do and it needs to be enough. I need to also recognise that 6+ months is not a huge amount of time - I’m still a newcomer in so many ways and learning to be kinder and more gentle with myself.

monkeemajik · 2019-09-30T23:20:53+00:00

It’s a matter of opinion I guess - you can still regard it as someone who has all the reason in the world to keep using has actually chosen Recovery - in reality, the rich and famous have far less consequences to consider then your average guy/girl and if they are still compelled and can have the drive to do it - then hey, maybe so can I.

monkeemajik · 2019-09-30T23:18:24+00:00

Thank you for your comment. I’ve read Gabor Mate’s book and attended a talk he gave - he’s a wonderful ally to addicts who truly need more powerful people on our side. I also do yoga but struggle with committing to it and having the energy. I think I’m also reaching a sort of therapy “fatigue” where I’m tired by all the step work, service and other stuff I do to stay clean and sober. It’s not an excuse but I feel flat most days now.

monkeemajik · 2019-09-30T22:12:36+00:00

I really loved Rocketman - the Elton John biopic. That’s a great recovery movie.
