This morning I was blessed with a hyper sense of self awareness. I sat out front with my cup of coffee and smoked my morning cigarette as I usually do. While out there I didn’t notice the wind or the trees, of look I the sky but instead I found my mind racing. Thoughts flashing […]

Rebound Tuesday
Call it a funk, call it depression, call it my disease, call it Mercury Retrograde… Whatever name I may give it the thoughts and emotions are the same. Yesterday was a struggle and I felt it coming. I woke up and started the day strong, or so I thought. I began with prayer, though I […]
Positive Affirmations

A Glimpse of Despair
I am an addict named Sean. This is my first attempt at writing my story. I have a home group where I have made friends that use the word family and I like it. I call these friends family because they are just that. I watch how they love each other, they laugh with each […]
90 Days

A Dark Night
Here I sit, unable to sleep with resentment in my heart. A poison for the soul and I am indulging. This is a luxury I can not afford. It creates thoughts and emotions, and those thoughts and emotions breed more. One shadow at a time until night has cast across the whole sky. No stars […]
Nothing In Life Is Constant
If there is anything in this life that I am sure about, it is change. My life is like a river, I am always the same river but the water that rushes through me is never the same and that water is my perception. My mind is the current flowing within me, each drop a […]
