The things, people, places, experiences, and feelings that remind us of drinking or using (aka relapse triggers) are often unavoidable.

Many people don’t even want to talk about relapse because they are scared…

I am going to get vulnerable for a second and open up about submission to God, something that I think a lot of people might feel afraid to talk about.

We’ve all seen movies like Pulp Fiction or Requiem for a Dream. I gotta be honest, before I ever did any heroin, I for sure thought it was quite glamorous. I think a common image people have about…
I’ve read a lot of shit on the internet about what it feels like to be drunk, and they’re always the same — they’re written by some fucking medical expert who talks about us drunks in the third person and obviously knows nothing more than what it feels like to be tipsy. Not only that, but these laughable articles also pull their signs and symptoms of…
