This is blog post number one!
This is the first month that I have been completely free of alcohol. I feel slightly guilty because I have started to discover the magic of alternative treatments. Thank you tik-tok for making me aware of the neurodivergence potential of a queer. As I give up on alcohol, one destructive drug, I am now putting my hopes in the effects of others. Namely; THC and Psychocilabin. Full disclosure, one of the best side affects, besides pain management, is the NFG (no fucks given) that it offers. Anxiety doesn't stand a chance in my floaty 'life is what you make it!' sensibility. The funny thing is that the rest of the world, seems to be realizing this too. I order my medical marijuana from Shoppers Drug Mart, using my Costco credit card and Canada Post delivers it to my backyard if requested. This is then written off in my taxes by the Canadian government. I am now at the place in my life that I feel brings all my 'pieces' together. I realized a little while ago that I now have the memories I have made in this life as my anchor. I HAVE HAD AN AMAZING EXISTENCE, and it's not done, it's different, and I'm happy, is what I want to tell each person that I meet, especially as my physical abilities are diminishing. People who embrace their difference know how to live each day as it comes. Gratitude has pulled me along for my entire lifetime. It was instilled at a young age and when you are thankful for the simple, the rest will fall into place.
In my burgeoning Public Speaking/Writing/Advocating career I will share these stories, as I remember them, they may get creative, but they're based in my life really. Stay posted, I will write as inspired, get ready for an overshare, please laugh openly and think of your story. This will be fun! Lisa D
