I was just this very moment thinking about you, Cow. Seriously, this very moment.
I think I might be psychic or something. Wow.
I think of you and there you are.
Maybe I will go think on George Clooney now.....
Very glad you are here!

(((((Hooker))))) !!!
We moo-sed you.
Ok, that was a stretch. But whatever. I can get away with it right now because I'm having a hysterectomy and that gives me carte Blanche for bad puns. Hey - We can be sans lady parts twins.
Who's gonna mess with a peri-menopausal cow toting around a 16 lb calicified fibroid ?
Have bowling ball, will travel (?)
K....stopping now...

Glad to see you, Cow. Buildings are exploding & the President drove by yesterday in his motorcade, but that's normal in my neighborhood. Otherwise, nothing to complain of (but I will anyway, loud & often).
Woe is Moo.

Oh hello everyone, yes, I take time off from SOBER RECOVERY site to focus on my sobriety. Ha ha moo ha! But no! Is true! Was thinking I not sure if this site healthy and productive to me. Is because I a writer for living and for decades have associate writing with drinking.
Also, I now willing to accept I maybe bipolar underneath my addictions.
Bipolar alcoholic writer. Wow. Can Cow be any more cliche?! Frak!
PS. My fibroids is adorable and very petite!

Writers and alcohol are often bedfellows, aren't they?
I was just explaining to my shrink yesterday about how the fifteen years I spent
studying poetry / being a poet came with the rider of carefully-cultivated alcoholism
as part of one's social obligation.
She thought it was pretty funny until I told her how many of my poet-friends from grad school were either dead (suicide usually--very hazardous profession) or now entering
late-stage alcoholism.
I can't even hang around them (the small group that is left) anymore.
Drinking always primed the muse, but lately I am finding she doesn't mind early morning herbal tea and discipline. That's been a revelation. . .

You mentioned that you were a professional writer--you might be interested in this. One of the requirements is to have a lot of social media connections.
I have traveled across the US and Canada by trains many times, and it is life-changing to truly feel how big this country is. It's also cathartic to meet its people along the way. And if you have never traveled in a private room, well--you've never really traveled. Anyway, Amtrak is offering free trips to writers:

Everybody still here! If I not severe anhedonic, that total would make me happy.
Hawkeye, you lucky, my muse not get out of bed for less than $10,000 and nice bottle of Malbec. Yes, is lot of writer who is into the drug and drink. Is chicken/egg situations. I think early trauma make for lot of artists, and lot of addiction.
D! ... ... wait, you not here to arrests me already, right?
Welcome Coldfusion, I not kind of writer where I can travel about and write whatever I wish. I work on shows and advertisements and stuff and has to be available. I does take train trip once, because [PHOBIA ALERT!] I afraid to fly. I sorry but Cows is not belong in sky! Unless I jumping over moon, and I not do hallucinogens anymore. I does love Canada, would be cool to train across Canada.

$10,000 even without the Malbec sounds pretty good Cow

Cow, just curious - why do you think it is you are still sober? Today I read through a lot of your journey - and I did read the part about the accident - but is the trauma/reality of the accident is what's sustaining you?
I am still struggling, so just being nosey

Hawkeye, Oscar is have huge bloom right now and as tricksy as ever. Thank you for links. No, I not get $10K day rate, I just making Linda Evangelista joke. But my muse certainly not getting out of bed for tea.
Freethink, no, I not sober. I was for short times during my tediously verbose threads, but it not take. It not stick. So I still struggling with you. Right now, I working to improve my physical health and bipolar condition, cuz is always when my brain go off/manic that I end up face down in bowl of Malbec.

I know you don't like to post in other people's threads for some reason (so I don't expect you to know my situation), but I am struggling with "mental" stuff as well. It can be a whole, complicated mess, huh. Anyway, please keep posting when you feel fit to. I enjoy your "cow" honesty.
