I have hit the 18 month mark. It still wows me. I get excited about these landmarks, not because I’m happy that I’ve been going through this for so long, but because of how proud I am that I have not given up the fight against this condition and the man! I will never give… Continue reading 1.5 Years of TSW
Nothing could have prepared me for yesterday. In all my 16 months of withdrawing, I had yet to meet another sufferer like myself. I have spoken to many online, sharing our stories and our journey through this nightmare, but never once had I met someone face to face.

I’m at 15 months and 19 days. That is 476 days. That is 685, 440 minutes. And I’m not even finished… Continue reading What a Year Looks Like

Now, that doesn’t seem very epic to some people. To be honest, it shouldn’t be. However, I had VERY LONG hair. I… Continue reading TSW: V for Vendetta (3.5 Mark)
I have been helping install a show on The Oasis of the Seas. Although I was not able to jump into the stage pit with the rest of the cast, I took my own leap these past two weeks. It has been a test on my health, but I am happy to say that I am feeling… Continue reading Leap of Faith

A Safe Harbor — Nov. 14, 2011 I wrote this post about my new cast mates. We were away from our families and had only each other to lean on. Every so often, I lose my ability to put into words how I’m feeling. I don’t exactly feel lost, but I’m wandering in a world… Continue reading Vacant Sign
