Collective Recollections
Hey Codies.
I just wanted to say that you should do something luxurious for yourself. Do it now. I am so fucking excited about my new floors that I want to crap bubblegum.
Go buy yourself something, even if it's something stupid. Don't tell Mr. or Mrs. Addict that you're doing it. Just do it, thoughtlessly and selfishly.
It's awesome.
This blog was born out of a collective mind and formed with collective ideas; we hope it will grow out of collective experience. This community project belongs to all of us; it is a place to share your strength, weakness, hope, fears, wisdom, knowledge, and experience. It is a place for you to ask questions and to give answers based on your own experience. It is a safe harbor for those of us both in and out of recovery, as well as for the men and women who are attempting to understand and support us.
Since most of us here have our own blog’s, I have been faced with the question; what should be posted here? My answer is: anything and everything as long as you stick to the guidelines (The Write Way) listed below. Stick to your personal experience, and no subject is too taboo or off limits. Please be fearless in your posting. Every question is important, and all shared experiences are priceless. Everything has a place in this blog.

Hmm, I wondering if one craps bubble gum, do you get a bubble first?
And on the other side of the fence, this can be equally as fulfilling for us addicts. If you can afford it, go out and spend some money on yourself, buy some new clothes, or comics, or dvds, whatever floats your boat.
But let's not forget those who stood by us; make sure you buy your S/O something as well. Even if it's something simple as flowers. Do it, if not for them, do it for yourself, it will make you feel really good.
And to the S/O out there, who we owe money to, understand that this is something that an addict needs to do, that it will go a long way at making us feel good, even if it's just a fleeting moment, we will have for a moment experienced what it is like to be normal again, to be able to spend money on ourselves, on you, and on somthing other than on drugs,
Remember that financial amends will come from the addict who is working a program. Those that aren't working may pay out of guilt. So if we buy you a small gift, or spend some money on ourselves, remember how this makes you feel, and please don't chastise us for spending money on something other than paying you back.
Hi there Junky's Wife. I tried to read your main blog but it said I had to be invited in order to read it - is this a permanent arrangement? If so - would you invite me? I found your blog via Feministing (I think) and have been really enjoying reading it since.
Thanks

Hi there JW. I tried to check in on your regular blog but it said I had to be invited in order to read this - is this a permanent arrangement? I found it a while back, through Feministing I think, and really look forward to reading it each evening...
Thanks
