Oh for fuck’s sake, y’all. So much is swirling in my head and being a grown up just bites sometimes. I hate this adulting thing. This week has (already) been one of uncertainty, financial douchery, and temporary employment ennui. My recovery process has been amazing, don’t get me wrong – …
Recently, I found myself in a drunk yoga class. . . as opposed to being drunk in a yoga class. Been there, done that. Let me back up. This week I attended a “Yoga for Recovery” class that combined core yoga poses with some reading and light meditation, specifically geared …
