What do I say When Someone Gives Me A Drink?
I’m afraid to tell them no!
It’s “HURRICANE SEASON” as some of my peeps in recovery like to say. Holiday season for the rest of the world. So this question comes up more than normal.
Your brain is lying to you!
I don’t always catch myself when I do these things, but the more I try, the better I get at it. My favorite word… NEUROPLASTICITY! At some point, I might go more into this myself, but check out Dr. Tracey Marks’ video on it. If you’re not watching all of her videos, you’re missing out!
Going out when you no longer drink
It was obvious how others were getting hammered and not realizing the costs of getting wrecked when they could have been having fun without it.
ScoreKeeper No More
Today is my birthday,
which also used to be known as Score Keeping Day. I would spend hours wondering who would remember it was my birthday. Which family members, sponsees, or friends would forget? Who would just text instead of calling? Who forgot mine even though I remembered theirs? Let’s be honest, every day was Score Keeping Day, my birthday only made it more apparent.
It’s Amazon Prime Day!
That means it’s a great day to pick up some of the suggested books and materials we’ve been posting here in since we launched. Checking out the stuff we recommend, sends the referral fees from Amazon Recovery RAWKstars. That’s true every day of the year but just a reminder, Amazon is on sale tomorrow so have at it!

As someone with ADHD, I subscribe to a bunch of ADHD-related content. HowToADHD is one of my favorites. So when I watched this video, even though it was directed at people with ADHD it's completely relevant to anyone with addictive behaviors too.
