A customer came in the store today. Dead ringer for my buddy Chewie who died in 2017 or 2018. First time I've had that experience.

Dave was called Chewie by his ex-cellmate Tyler, who ended up being his roommate in the recovery center. It caught on with the guys in the house. Chewie was stout, overweight, looked a little like Jeremy Piven (pre-hair plugs). He was one of the funniest guys I've ever met, and he was such a incredibly nice guy. We were in the same intake group and spent 35 days together in counseling. He relapsed about a year after we exited treatment and then a few years later, I heard through the grapevine that he'd OD'd.

Thinking about ya Chewie. #ODAAT #SoberLife #RecoveryPosse

Ev’ry single day there are miracles
They do not care whether people know
They cling to life like random barnacles
Visible only when progress is slow

Trudging the road of happy destiny
People are frequently unmoored from goals
Desire’s falsity’s seen manifestly
As it erodes the values of our souls

Communally as a society
Not unlike malaria & locusts
Humanity wants sobriety
(But this will interfere with wealth’s costs)

So I begin again, another day
Ev’rything is original & new
Although it’s familiar display
(Hopefully, another, I make it through)

I was 1st addicted to narrative
Before I dabbled in chemicals
Long ‘fore alcohol was imperative
(Hiding my feelings became essentials)

I intend to continue my attempts
At being a still better professor
My students all provide me verklempts
(Alone I am not my best assessor!)

Burdens are blessings/
The chrysalis or pupa/
Of work's butterflies/

Metaphysic’lly burdens are blessings
The sperm, egg, pupa or chrysalis
Of what’s next & all its new undressings

Today I did:
I made my calls. I reposted the results of earlier organizing in protests locally and nationally. I got 2 more people onto Signal. I tracked down the issue with calls not connecting to Senators and reposted that answer. I had a post-protest call with a local organizer. I took a request by AltNPS, found relevant information and posted a call for organizing. I see that my Congress Rep and 1 of my Senators has finally posted a video in response to the calls and organizing.

As I sit here considering my day
I think about my humanity
Although my chores bring me dismay
I know this is a bourgeois luxury

Today I’ve got to keep it simple
Stay focused upon what I must achieve
This world I live in is a temple
& I want it better ere I leave

My sister sent this to me. X for 10 Years. #RecoveryPosse #SoberLife #ODAAT #FuckElon

A golden token that has a triangle and circle emblem with a Roman X and the words Unity Service Recovery in the triangle arms. The top two reliefs have the words To Thine Own Self Be True.

I don't have a big boffo speech or anything to celebrate 10 years of #Sobriety from alcohol. All I really want to say is that anyone can find themselves struggling with a dependency, regardless of any personal or cultural variable. And it is not a moral failing. It is a mental aberration. It is no choice. It becomes an absence of choice.

If you are struggling with addiction, please know that you are not bad, you are not hopeless, and you are not alone. I could not have survived to make it to this point without other addicts helping me. You are not alone. Please, reach out. You are worth it.

My gratitude is boundless. My mother continues to support me every day and is a constant source of wisdom. And without my sister taking care of me for those first 6 or so years, I would never have stuck it out. All my friends and family in recovery, especially those who we've lost along the way - I honor and cherish your deeds, words and memories.

Lots of love to you all.

Social Media enables anger
Also vexation, judgement, lust & shame
To our souls we become a stranger
