Previously asleep, waking up

Roe being overturned yesterday was a threat to women’s’ health and justice. I would have previously started day drinking and smoking weed to numb the pain. Instead, I sat with it and took care last night. This morning, I woke with the sun and a cup of coffee to start taking action via donations, letters, and posting. Lots of love to all

Good for you! You put your oxygen mask on first. You used your anger in a healthy way. You’re a good role model for those in your life. I have kids, so I’m always mindful of this.
I’m going to follow your lead as I have an 12 year old daughter coming back to me tomorrow! Thank you for this post!

Maegen, are you saying that you would have needed to use, at the prospect of having to take responsibility for your own sexual behavior and only have protected s—, and only in a committed relationship? (I’m told that the “s” word can’t be used.)

I believe the point is she is handling a very upsetting situation in life in a healthy way. I believe the point is she has changed her life from depending on substances to numb the pain and discomfort, to taking care of herself mentally and physically in a healthy way. I believe she’s taking action this morning in a meaningful and productive way, rather than sitting home getting drunk and stoned and wallowing in anger and self pity. Thank you for sharing Maegen! Recovery rocks.
