Give me something I can write about. July 21, 2015. A post I wrote a couple of years back. Has been making the rounds again, and has brought with it a bunch more followers. I am really NOT the person to look towards for sanity and wisdom, y’all. So I feel a responsibility to let folks know that while I do a fair amount of talking about recovery, it’s not the ONLY thing I talk about, and a lot of times you’re going to also get stuff about Alzheimer’s, zombies, and garden variety potty humor. This: ‘...

The Standoff | Lisa McColgan
https://lisamccolgan.com/2015/06/02/the-standoff
Give me something I can write about. June 2, 2015. I had today what I can only call a Ladies’ Room Standoff. Or Sitoff. I don’t know. This has happened before. I go in, needing to.take care of business that’s a little more complicated than just a tinkle, and someone’s already in there, in the other stall. Fine. Maybe that person is finishing up; I’m thinking she’ll flush, wash her hands, maybe check her hair, and I can do my thing in peace and solitude. And I realize that this person is not going to leave.

https://lisamccolgan.com/2015/08/10/todays-rant
Give me something I can write about. August 10, 2015. Most of the time, I feel supported, if not entirely understood, in terms of my being open about addiction and recovery. Friends and loved ones take the time to read what I write, and engage in respectful, supportive discussion. It’s enough to make me feel pretty good about what I’m doing. That’s why it’s always a punch to the gut to hear someone describe people like me in some really unflattering terms. If we really wanted to. I also know what it&...

Give me something I can write about. Dear Friends I Saw Play Last Night –. August 26, 2015. What a great show. Seriously. You all transported me for roughly an hour back to a place where music was pretty much the only friend who’d never abandon me. Sometimes you forget how important certain artists/albums/songs were in your formative years. Last night was a nice reminder. But when I saw you after you’d finished playing, I was stiff and awkward and not as animated as I usually am. But I still felt bad....

She stopped me in the hallway and said she’s going to MURDER ME. HER The WEIRD one. Oh, I don’t think that’s true. She’s here very often. I think she might be married to that nice fellow there.
