I Get By With a Little Help by: Susan Aplin Pogue

In a black and white photo, a diverse group of people is captured outdoors, joyfully raising their arms and cheering. The scene evokes feelings of unity and camaraderie, reminiscent of the joyful vibe in "I Get By With a Little Help." Trees standing tall in the background add to the celebratory atmosphere.

Recently I started to look at my attitude and response to help or to questions of my well-being. I realized quickly that at the height of my addiction I was totally unwilling to admit the chaos that had become my daily life and my inner thoughts. Even if I took away the worry of being […]

Unnecessary Organization by: Megan Rundle

A person sits at a cluttered desk, engulfed by an overwhelming tower of papers, creating a chaotic scene. Unnecessary organization seems evident as papers scatter across the floor and air, with a brimming trash bin beneath.

We often talk about how to organize, plan and create less stress, today we will focus on refining your organization process in order to maximize your brain’s resources.   Use the recycling bin/trash basket organize items that are outdated, old notes, posts or invites for events that have already passed. They are NO LONGER needed, toss […]

Blank Pages by: Susan Aplin Pogue

Ancient papyrus scroll featuring dense black hieroglyphic script arranged in vertical columns. The text is worn and shows signs of age, with minor tears and frayed edges on the papyrus surface, reminiscent of Susan Aplin Pogue's fascination with history, where even blank pages tell a story.

Blank pages…wow those are sort of scary some days. A part of my recovery program involves creating inventories of my resentments, my fears, and my sexual conduct, as well as revealing my character defects with the intent to have them removed. When I started my program I wasn’t really sure what that would require, so […]

Motivate Yourself to Exercise, Your Brain will be Happy

A woman in a pink leotard exercises on the floor, lifting one leg behind her, embodying 'Brain Happiness.' She smiles while stretching on a cream-colored carpet. In the background, a wooden console TV plays her favorite tracks from "Motivate Yourself to Exercise.

A great writer once said, “To know and not to do, is not to know.” We all know exercise is good for our body, brain, and soul…. but how do we take what we know is good for us and actually do it? The key to motivation in the brain is that it works with […]

A Co-Author by Susan Aplin Pogue

A cartoon character with orange hair and a green shirt is excitedly typing alongside Co-Author Susan Aplin Pogue. Papers are flying out as they type energetically, each sheet showing their creative collaboration. The character's expression is focused and happy.

Realizing that I need to acknowledge and accept a co-author in my life’s story. Recently I have been thinking about the previous ideas I have shared about working to overcome addiction by incorporating the creation of a new life story into a recovery program. In early sobriety this idea was very powerful and helpful. The […]

The Power of Listening by: Susan Aplin Pogue

A young child, embodying the power of listening, sits on a chair in front of a record player and audio equipment. Dressed in a sleeveless top and shorts against vintage wallpaper, the child gazes directly at the camera through large headphones.

Stories can save you in your rocky moments of recovery if you listen. My recovery has been a pleasant experience. I have begun to rebuild relationships that my actions and words when drinking had damaged. I have physically seen drastic changes in my appearance for the better – gone is the puffy face, the circles […]

Acceptance is a Bitch by: Susan Aplin Pogue

A baked pie with a golden crust has the word "HUMBLE" cut out in capital letters on top, exposing the filling beneath—a perfect slice of acceptance served fresh.

 Why is it so hard to say we have a problem and move on? As part of recovery from any addiction one must totally accept that they are negatively impacted by the behavior and determine that they are better off not playing with fire and should eliminate the behavior forever from their life. Piece of […]

Why Be Anonymous by: Susan Aplin Pogue

The word "SHAME" is boldly painted in black on a weathered brick wall with a cracked, beige plaster surface. Crafted anonymously, the scene features a ground paved with gray bricks, adding to the urban, gritty atmosphere.

Is the shame what drives the anonymous part of my program? Recently I have been thinking about the saying “Damned if you do and damned if you don’t” as it applies to my recovery from drinking. In my recovery I know that a grain of doubt my addictive voice puts in my mind is that […]

From Survival to Choice by: Adena Shepherd

For so many years, I was in fight or flight survival mode. I was running from a past of many traumas that I had severe PTSD from. I could not relax in enough to sleep during the night with insatiable taunting thoughts of attack based on experiences that had haunted me. I spend the better […]
