    Staying Sober

    I’m currently transitioning into a sober lifestyle. Alcohol has taken so much from me and has caused so much damage that I’m ready to give it up. I’m about a week sober so this is just the beginning. Unfortunately it took a near death experience for me to finally learn I need to quit the...

    Sobahs Beddah: A public letter to my sober self about my feelings on mortality.

    I keep telling myself that Sobahs Beddah (Sobers Better for those not from Boston). I keep chugging along. Dealing with life on lifes terms.

I've been around. All that time I...

    Getting Old:Existential/ Midlife Crisis

Sure, many of us lived fast, some died young. I never thought I would become middle age. I lived much of my first 4 decades of life, fast on the...

    Avoiding substance abuse

    I've honestly been a little worried about this in my plans to travel next March. I smoke bud regularly. I'm okay going without, it's more of an end of the day to relax kinda thing. And I'll drink wine or a couple beers here and there (every other week or so). I don't get drunk or fucked up...

    Featured How to Detox

    I become addicted to alcohol easily and have to suffer withdrawal symptoms while detoxing to get healthy again. Alcoholism, as well as other dependencies, is a huge issue in our sector of counter-culture, but that doesn't mean you can't balance yourself out and take care of your body. One of...
