After waking up one too many times on the floor of her bathroom, Sara decides that it's time to put down the drink-for good. But how is she supposed to meet the love of her life (or the love for tonight) if she's spending every night in a church basement? Well, it doesn't take long for Sara to discover that there are cute guys in AA, too. The only problem is, just because you stop drinking, doesn't mean life magically gets better. In fact, sometimes it gets worse. WAY worse. And there's no amount of liquid courage that can help you through that.

Curious about what it's like when you stop drinking and start getting real? Real SOBER? Check out Sara's blog, "Sober in the City" for an inside look into the underbelly of sobriety. I can't promise it'll be pretty, but it will definitely be entertaining.All Rights Reserved

Boo, Inc. by MBlack9898

Welcome to Boo, Inc....Have you ever created a prosthetic head so convincing that you could chop it off in an Insta Live Stream, gaining a thousand followers overnight and a call to the cops? Have you ever dressed up as monsters to scare the living daylights out of a cheating boyfriend, all for a hundred dollars and a flood of social media hits? Have you ever stabbed someone to death for fun and dumped their body in the LA river? It all started with two kids named Boo. Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Boo-Z, short for Boo Alice Zook, but you can call me Boozy. High school in Cali was a wild ride, going from being a hotshot macro-influencer dancing in the streets to living in a wheelchair after a brutal hit and run. But my sexy-psycho-quasi-boyfriend, Boo Alexander, isn't ready to let me leave the industry just yet. Something's not quite right in my head, but Boo always has a solution for me. A caffeine cleanse, a line of coke, shots of apple cider vinegar with herbal tea - anything to keep my mind focused. I've basically hit the Sadomasochistic Jackpot. If I take a spin around the block in my wheelchair and down a six-pack, my passion for killing will reignite. Especially now that we're getting paid for it. Content warning: this story references themes that readers might find triggering, including drug use and sexual assault.

FINDING MY KING - P1 SCREENPLAY by Dcoleman80

SCREENPLAY VERSION.... 18+ readers only ❤️ I've lived the last eight years of my life in pain. Pain that should've brought me to my knees, with a big fat "Screw-you world, I'm outta here!" Still, I refused to give up. Never did I want to be that weak, pitiful woman I was with him. Our relationship, (If you can even call it that) became toxic. I knew it was, but I didn't see this one coming. No, that's a lie. It was totally his style. It didn't surprise me at all. I lost so much confidence because of him, so finding love was a complete no no. I just couldn't allow anybody else in after living with the devil himself. It's impossible. I've lost the ability to trust anybody, aside from my family and my best friend. But never did I imagine my life going this way, and because of it, I lost all hope of ever finding love again. Living with all that destruction almost destroyed me. I knew he was bad, but never did I think he would ruin my life. He knew how important my dreams were, and still, he destroyed everything. Crazily, I knew it was his jealousy that made him do it. I've never in my life met anybody so green-eyed before. It was all about control, and I had enough. Since then, it's taken a long time in getting my life back on track. Yet just when I thought it was clear to move forward, I'm hit with more drama. Can I survive it, or will the devil himself come back and destroy my happiness forever?

Before The End (One Direction) by BomPomm

His life outwardly appeared to be a straight line of perfection. Then he met Cory Bleu and things changed. Desperate to escape his childlike boybander persona, Harry allows Cory to take him on a dive headfirst into the dark side of the celebrity world that he's been sheltered from. Without warning he's thrust into a life of lies, scandal, sex, violence and especially drugs. Faced with a growing addiction that he can't seem to stop and the unexpected death of someone incredibly important to him, Harry starts to wonder if he can ever get out of the hole he's buried himself in. Can Harry recognize the consequences of his actions before he hurts everyone he loves? *Trigger Warning: Deals with drug abuse, alcoholism, suicide, depression, self harm, sexual abuse, etc.*

Keep yourself safe first. TW~ abuse, eating disorder, body image issues, spiritual abuse, rape.
