I haven't had any great light or God-like revelations, but I relate to that old need to use drink to get me into that oblivion to take me away and out of everything. Have nearly clocked seven years without it now and experiences (both good and bad) are definitely more keenly felt.
Funnily enough - the Buddhists are actively into self erasure! They say : “no self : no problem!” Ie: if there’s no “me” here to be experiencing all these problems, there is no problem. 😆
Sometimes it works for (me :) ) and sometimes it doesn’t!
This really hits home. I’ve always tried to escape into being numb, totally feared being present right where I am. I love how you put something into words I’ve always felt but never dared to face. 🖤
Nice post Bougie^^
thank you - glad you enjoyed!! x

I loved reading that.
Hi Gary. I’m on your trail at 6 years. Nice to meet sober tribe here. X
Ah cool. Always good to know which of us are around here.
If you continue to "trust" in whatever "you" trust, you have the only answer you need to know. This piece echoes that. Happy for you. 2/10/06 🫶🙏🏼🧘🏻✨🌖
thanks Hill - learning to trust! x
...and you can call me Kregg. I'm an asset if you ever get wrapped up in life shit sober. It's what we do for each other. 🫶🙏🏼🧘🏻✨🌖

It was incredibly soothing.
I adore folks who can make me feel like that with so few words. Congratulations on your self-healing journey.
Well written!

Keep wandering the world but when you hear voices from Morocco listen to them please, I will be there to whisper you something 💞

I love this..
It's funny how sometimes that flash of wanting to go back to your old habits comes without the reminder of where it left you.
And the realization that when those thoughts do come, it's just your mind begging for a rest.
Once the softer habits come to fruition it truly doesn't affect you the same..
and it takes so long to finally realize that's exactly what it is... x

I loved this. honest and dreamy in the same breath
Thanks Carlos. Those two places are a great place to breathe from x
This feels very true and tender.
I love how you name rest without romanticizing escape.
Thank you for sharing this. 🤍
Thanks for reading Samu, x
This feels like the most beautiful thing I’ve read in a long time.
that means a lot Kelly as I read so many beautiful things on your page!
Cyn, this comment also means so much to me. Your work is incredible. Thank you so much. Safe travels!
This poem is sublime! I absolutely love it. Liquid gold like rays of sunshine. Bravo!
Aww thank you and God’s truth I wrote this while the sun shone it’s gold on me as I travel through the Yukatan…
Beautiful my friend. This one stuck: “Now I’m hooked on the silence between breaths, better boundaries, clean sheets, inner peace… “
Thanks Chris. Something is really happening over here. I think it's been the Yucatan washing over me...cleansing my soul. Virtual hugs.
Self-erasure as a lifestyle. That line is fucking dope.
Right? thought you’d like that visual.
it was the daily grind
no shit
