I promise I haven’t abandoned this blog. It’s just that the next story is hard to write and I genuinely don’t want to fuck it up. I’ll go ahead and tell you what it’s about — maybe you have some feedback on how to structure the narrative or learned experiences for me to cite instead of rambling.

It’s going to be about sex in recovery, the harmful messages about sex I received growing up and how in my early days of sobriety, some really shitty messages about sex and body autonomy were shared with me in the rooms of recovery and really fucked me up.

It’s a tall order to combine messages, actions, old behaviors versus new, and still remain in a cohesive essay-sized narrative format. So maybe that’s the issue — taking over 30 years of lived experience and compressing it down to one essay. I guess I could break it up into multiple parts. Why didn’t I think of that!

I knew we could come up with a solution together. Great talk.

Part I will be up soon.
