  • I don’t know (Clean and Sober)
    Jul 11 2024

    In this episode I discuss a new member to the group who was diagnosed with co curing and has decided to do both, group therapy and NA. I read from my copy of the narcotics anonymous blue specifically on recovery and relapse.

    My opinion of therapy methodologies is just that , my opinion. I support whatever works for you. NA didn’t work for me.

    Life is not a group effort

    Treatment becomes our new addiction

    We spoke of life as war metaphor, the difference between surviving and victim. There is also mention of the current state of conflict around the world, and the purpose of remembering those that died fighting.

    Prepare for it and remember. Party this weekend and be grateful for war.

  • The group diagnosed me : I’m angry (Dr Lovecraft told me to chill out)
    Jan 10 2024

    Today’s episode is an update on my life dealing with my mom in a nursing home. I went to group therapy and told them what I feeling. They told me I was angry because my own life had disappeared. I don’t agree.

    The reading is HP Lovecraft’s “Dagon”. I chose it for obvious reasons.

    If you are a victim of rape like me or any kind of abuse you can always reach out to me and talk. I’m here to listen

    No judgment ever

  • Elder care and nursing homes in the United States of America
    Dec 10 2023

    Respect vs Rules

    In this episode my topic is based on my experiences with my mom’s nursing home and all the paperwork involved with her care.

    I talk about the nucleus of medica in America: who’s gonna pay this bill?

    I read from Irving Goffman’s “Asylums”. I focus on the binary deviations of organizational structure and function. These revolve around the private vs public, as well as, the individual vs group.

    In the end this episode is about the roles we play in society and our inability to accept the natural law of our roles changing over time.
