About

Greetings Earthlings…

I am in recovery from a substance use disorder and I work a 12-step program. At nearly every meeting and during most conversations with other people in recovery, I hear phrases, tidy little aphorisms, some of which are ubiquitous–One Day at a Time, Keep Coming Back, It Works if You Work It–and others that you hear less often but which are also part of the canon. There may even be a few originals thrown in. But for now and for the immediate future, these phrases will title my entries, and serve as my prompts. Naturally, this is a recovery-focused blog and I hope to reach others in my community. But alcoholism and addiction touch countless lives and here, all are welcome.
