Historias de Sobriety

(Based on the 2001 Series 'The Closer') Loosely based off the plot of Season 7, Episode 14. When a young motorcyclist, Gracie Ann Gates, is struck and paralysed in a hit-and-run incident, the primary witness, Lieutenant Andy Flynn is a mess. The Priority Homicide Division takes full reign on the case and investigation when they discover the car belongs to Richard Thorne, one of the county's most revered defense lawyers, and senior managing partner at an white-collar criminal defense firm. Their primary suspect, the daughter of the car's owner; Blake Thorne, who unlike her father, has a long list of faults, misdemeanours and charges. Finding the car that did this is easy, but getting the one inside to admit to doing it is going to be a whole different ball game. And it's one Flynn can't handle alone. The investigation is launched and it's a manhunt... or a teenhunt more like. Flynn intends to get justice for Gracie. He will get Blake Thorne to confess or lose his badge trying.

There was a version of my husband I didn't meet until years into our marriage. This is the story of what happened when I did - and the love that held on through all of it. Three babies in three years, and a secret only I carried for far longer than anyone knew. This isn't his story. It's mine - the silence, the strength, and the love that never left, even in the hardest years. We didn't just survive it. We grew into something neither of us knew we could be.

Cover by All_of_them This is a story unlike any other. A story with a unique love triangle. A love story between the Father, the son and the unholy beverage.

Building a life after getting sober. I joined a sober-curious group and we were invited to write an alcohol autobiography. Here is my story, then and now. By a 48 year old wife and mother of two, living in Montana.

Life. Times. Of an alcoholic, baking, goodwill junkie artist who dreams of making the world laugh and feel. Something.

While on the road during their 1999 Reunion Tour, Poison's "Behind The Music" episode airs. When the four gather together to watch it, CC is taken aback by some unsettling memories...and for once, he keeps his mouth shut about how he's feeling. *Currently a one-off but has potential to expand if my muse takes me there...*

December 10   ELECTRIC CONNECTIONS     I step into a room and take its currency.  Is the flow good?  Steady?  The pulse even and strong?  Where are the power brokers and are they sharing the time or using their magnetic personalities to draw the current off others? I check the complement of resisters, examine their stripes and assess the possibilities. I pump in energy when I can and take when it is available. I keep in mind we are all transformers and change is possible for everyone as long as we make the connections.     Rich mistakes make good batter. *       What’s that in the Pool?     Parts of the Rocky Mountains look like algae bloom out in the Indian Ocean. Parts of me look like parts of you and here we go with oneness being nothing more than pattern recognition and optical illusion; though I hope there is more to it than that.   My hurt might not be your hurt, but I have a sense of it. Likewise your hope may not resemble mine, but it cheers you just the same and we are all the better for it.   We needn’t replicate each other or attempt imitation, but recognition is a kind thing and art is what we all have to share.     Vlog: http://youtu.be/ymX2yjLcpws   You are reading selections from Sober on the Way to Sane and More Lines From My Life by Sherrie Theriault http://www.amazon.com/Sober-On-The-Way-Sane/dp/1440417342/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1388576888&sr=8-1&keywords=sober+on+the+way+to+sane http://www.amazon.com/More-Lines-From-My-Life/dp/1448677203/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1388576956&sr=8-1&keywords=More+Lines+From+My+Life

Thirty-four year old Cathy Summers is barely holding on. She's being held by a thread at her job, her sixteen year old daughter is still rebelling against her, and Cathy is desperate to make sure her ten-year-old son Marco won't follow into the footsteps of his pothead, deadbeat father, Oscar. Cathy is also desperate to cling on to her new life as a sober woman. As she faces a bunch of new challenges, the biggest one of all is the relationship she has with her mother, Margo. Margo is reckless, and is also desperate to maintain her sobriety, especially to remake the bond she lost with her daughter. How will this go? Will peace be restored? Or is Cathy better off without her mother?

I did not in fact stay clean at 18 years old. But it is when things started changing in my head. This poem goes back and forth between fact and fiction in a Gonzo type of way. Some of it is very real, some is very fake. Decide for yourself what is what. Please enjoy. P.S. when I finished this, it was at the time my favorite piece I'd written.

Coming of age story about a teenager named Beth and her soon-to-be friend, Dennis. Both battling family and societal pressures, one refusing to succumb, one living two lives. Their story navigates drug addiction and domestic violence, while reminding readers how important a confidence in our sense-of-self really is. Both of their families will emphasize the good and bad in all of us, the strength and weakness we all carry. That no human is perfect, love is not a transaction, and loyalty is a choice.

"They say every sunrise brings a second chance. I just needed one to believe in myself again." For 33 days, I prioritized clarity instead of chaos, truth instead of escape, and healing instead of hiding. This is my raw and unvarnished experience of my first month of sobriety - the struggles and cravings, the confessions, the quiet victories, and the nights that could have broken me. Thirty-Three Sunrises is not a story of letting go. It's of what I discovered in the quiet that was to come. If you've ever felt alone, lost, or like you're waging a battle no one can see, this book is for you.

They say when you get sober to buy a suit. This is about my experience with death in recovery.
