Even something as "simple" has how to properly hold the drum stick! Pipe drumming is SUPER technical and not for the faint of heart!

Thanks for your own username.
It reminds me of someone very dear to me.

jsm I'm sorry to hear about all the stuff you're facing. My family were seriously bad, and it's only now with some sober time I can see the full effect they had on me. I hope I can heal, and I hope you can too XX

I know it's so difficult but your sobriety has to come first. Whatever you need to do to let go of that anger... do it. Go for a walk, shout out loud in the middle of an empty field, write down all your angry thoughts and then burn the piece of paper...do whatever you need to do that allows you to accept that you can't change your brother and holding onto the anger will only harm yourself.
I spent years feeling angry at the narcissist that turned my life upside down. What was I hoping? That one day the narcissist would say sorry for all the pain and the lies and the hatred? It will never happen. Letting go of the anger and cutting the toxicity out of my life gave me the strength to be there for the people who are worthy of my time.
Stay strong JSM. You have every right to feel angry but don't let that anger consume and damage you. Try to turn it into strength. That way you can be the best possible support for your sisters xx

Almost caved in last night, the cravings and AV were stopping at nothing to convince me to drink, and I almost fell for it.
35 days since my last drink and my little girl snuggled up on the couch next to me while we watch cartoons together is the reward for not drinking last night.
Hope everyone has a wonderful day, congrats to milestoners, thank you (once again) for all the good that is here and all the people who take time to help others.

Remember to lean on us at ANY time.
For some reason, the sun is shining here through clouds and a gray sky.
My bet is that that sun is looking for you, Pebs.
