truly remarkable to observe the evolution of my self-destructive impulses… you think a certain lifestyle change is going to eliminate them but no. It’s like cutting a worm into pieces and you just get more worms

[clare flanagan @ckflan]

somehow managed to do this despite the fact I do not drink or care about basketball 👍

[CLAUDIA MORALES @CLAUDIAPOSTING]

if you live in new york city and didn’t drunk text your failed humiliationship last night congratulations you are over them

[clare flanagan @ckflan]

per usual the common denominators are no sleep, seeking out info that upsets me, sending embarrassing/impulsive texts… but the real salt in the wound was being accused of using ChatGPT to write a research brief, which I would NEVER. pretty sure that pushed me over the edge

[clare flanagan @ckflan]

having one of the worst/most chaotic days of my sobriety yet but I do NOT want to drink!!!!! (however I do want to throw up and scream)

Metrically, “My Mayor Muslim/My bagel Jewish/My Christian Dior/ My Knicks in Four” works very nicely. It has this Donne-like cadence with the emphasis shift at the end to bring it home.

[clare flanagan @ckflan]

just experienced something that would have made me want to *** three months ago. and don’t get me wrong it did for a second! but I called my sponsor and walked it off!!!!!!!!!! 🩰

[clare flanagan @ckflan]

simultaneously being so fucking helpless and exhausted that I surrender my will completely + remaining committed to staying alive out of a doglike combination of determination, love, and spite >>>>>>>>>>

[jules @gaythotgirlson]

i believe in true love the way i believe in meth. i know it is real. i have tried it, by accident. it makes me insane. i do not have much interest in trying it again, at the moment. but i am a believer in true love.

[clare flanagan @ckflan]

big day. somehow the world feels full of possibility again, like everything is as it should be. if you came to me a year ago and told me I’d feel that way about my current circumstances, I wouldn’t have believed you. I couldn’t conceive of it. A miracle, a mystery, a gift

Dr Bronner, visibly drunk: and tell ‘em you can brush your teeth with it

I believe it's called "The City of Chicago"
