Anything, but Ordinary

Things are heating up on 911 and I’m not talking about the fires. If you have been watching the show the last couple of weeks, you know that Eddie and Buck went to Nashville to take part in the Firefighter games that Bobby signed them up for just before he died and while travelling back to L.A by car, they run into a problem while making their way through New Mexico.

The show is about mother and daughter Bonnie and Christy who are on their journey to sobriety. Both women have similar experiences when it comes to addiction. Bonnie grew up in foster care whereas Christy spent a lot of her childhood caring for her mother thru her addiction and not knowing where she was a lot of the time which eventually led her to her own addiction.

When people ask me why I write about mental health and addiction, I tell them it’s because of Matthew Perry. He inspired me to learn more about mental health and addiction. He inspired me to want to help people who are struggling. I want to continue telling his story, be his voice.

If drugs and alcohol is all you know, it’s going to be hard to build a life outside of those things, but it can be done. You would have damaged the relationships that may not be able to be fixed. Knowing someone with addiction is hard. They want to do whatever they can to help you, but you don’t want anything to do with them or accept the help they are offering. When you’re caught up with addiction, it becomes your purpose in life. The desire to get high makes you wake up in

You don’t want to put yourself in a situation that will challenge your sobriety. It’s easy to be reckless when you can use substances as a reason or an excuse, but once you find that road to recovery, you want to keep moving forward. The first 90 days in sobriety are the most important, but it’s also the most dangerous. You already know how much effort it takes to become sober if you’re already recovering from an alcohol use disorder. You’ll want to take every precaution to
