Hit a Red Socks game solo last night. The first time in a couple of years I hadn’t pre-gamed, used during, after, or completely missed because of addiction. I stayed 2 innings - long enough to eat a hotdog. It was a good night.

Therapist: what do you do to calm your nervous system when triggered Me: get my nose pierced. Therapist: That’s my girl. (I have the best therapist ever.)

Mike Johnson has built his career on being performatively ignorant about what's going on in his party and the White House.

It’s hard to believe, after 18yrs, that there’ll never be another 1st day of 4th grade.

To my recovery friends, ever have a using dream so vivid you wake up vomiting like you’re in the middle of ODing? 10/10 do not recommend

I don’t remember the last time I was this exhausted this many days in a row.

It was, but having a safe space to cry and share is such a blessing. I don’t subscribe to all things AA, but this part of it works.

Don’t let the smile fool you, I sobbed through this entire meeting.

That’s perimenopause alright. The estrogen patch was an absolute game changer for me.

Dolly may have left the physical plane, but she's transformed into an eternal beacon of goodness like Santa. Dolly will never leave us.

Absolutely. One thing I don’t like about this place, which is probably for the best, is no one cares or talks about politics, world events even. It’s so weird, but probably healthier.

My new roommate is a diehard Trump hater, but also believes sunscreen, not the sun, it what gives people skin cancer. I can’t.

Library kids, library friends, we literally survived the day 💛 I am not okay, I'm on a journey to discover okay. I am not better, I'm getting help to be better. Today I am safe, I'm believing that is enough. You are enough. One day at a time. One tomorrow at a time 💚

For those who missed it, there was a tremendously vibrant double rainbow over the Ferry Branch of the Patapsco River. Photos simply do not do it justice.

Double rainbow over the Wheelabrator Incinerator (formerly known as the Baltimore RESCO Waste-to-Energy Plant).

I had the heat up too high and the pan started smoking. We’re considered a business so when the alarms go off it alerts the FD. Good times.

Guess what I’m not wearing. White tights.

Exactly! I’m 48 and deconstructing it all has been a bitch.

Embracing the porn shoulders life. (As an aside, is anyone else filled with absolute rage that after all the shaming it’s suddenly ok to go sleeveless and still get a temple recommend? I was never about righteousness and always about control.)

I curious about those.

Everything happens for a reason. (I use this in a very narrow, specific, recovery only way). I almost hate that it works, but it does. I’ve always hesitated with the sentiment “relapse is part of recovery”. It isn’t for everyone, but it is for me and wo it I wouldn’t be here.

TisStef @tisstef.com · 15/08/2026

That is important. I’ve fought and fought to not need a community of “me”, I wanted to be a “normie”, but I’m simply not - just like my sisters here. I’ve embraced some 12 step principles; a higher power(my homegirl Mary), turning over my will, making amends, and the one that always feels icky

TisStef @tisstef.com · 15/08/2026

I hear their stories and can’t believe how awful they are, they hear mine and feel the same as I do. Not a single one of us would wish our stories on any enemy. The thing is without those stories we wouldn’t be here, we wouldn’t be easing our emotional burdens with people the same as us.

Privilege is something I don’t take for granted; I’ve a car/license, I’m employable and work, and I get to see my little regularly. At the same time we all sit to budget our very limited finances (most come with nothing), attend a million meetings, and process mounds and years of trauma together.

TisStef @tisstef.com · 15/08/2026

Thinking a lot about gratitude. Things have been shitty for reasons (sweeps arm), but I’m grateful to be where I am. Out of all 13 women here I’m the only one who hasn’t been homeless or jailed/incarcerated. Some spend years in prison, for some this is the first time they’ve had their own bed.
