I feel awful. I am grumpy, tired, and everything that can go wrong seems to be doing just that. I am dealing with a bunch of drama created in it's entirety by someone else, who thinks it's a sport to hurt me. Work is a little crazy this/

The Bad Guys

So in this world there is a large gray area when it comes to most things. A sign of maturity is not thinking in absolutes, being calm and rational when assessing an issue, situation, or person. Well, today, FUCK THAT and the horse it rode in on!!!

Recently an issue was brought/

Fear

Apparently there is nothing to fear, but fear itself. Ummm. I disagree. Fear of sharks exists so I'm not chewed to death. This is what I believe. Fear also exists so I don't wear scrunchies in public. I appreciate fear.

There is another kind of fear though/

The Second Column Podcast Interview

I was fortunate enough to be interviewed about my work, and my shenanigans, by some of the funniest guys in Hollywood last week. Thanks Second Column!!

Miracles, Selflessness, Heroism, and Love

This story is unedited by me, but I wanted to share. It made me tear up. Whether it's a 12 year-old girl, or a grown man, we are all capable of extraordinary things.

LONG BEACH, Wash. (AP) — As Charles Ostrander flailed in the turbulent waves of the… Read full post »

Life Without Regret

When I was drinking I did a lot of foolish things. I would say things I didn't mean or things I regretted, I would slur, bump into things, fall, drunk text/call, etc. I would wake up in the morning embarrassed, guilty and ashamed because I remembered what I'd/

Manual Labor

There really is something about working with your hands that seems to come naturally to us. It almost primal. I painted (most) of my new condo this weekend, and although it was absolutely exhausting, there were benefits beyond having a freshly painted home.

I was able to push asi/

Motivation and Gratitude

This whole thing has turned me into a motivated go-getter, what I used to be before I allowed myself to wallow in depression, addiction, and laziness. I used to have to set a bunch of different alarms and maybe I would wake up on time. Now I wake up early,/

The Excuses the Alcoholic/Drug Addict Makes

Denial. It's not just a river in Egypt.

I had a very good friend who is no longer in my life. He is a raging drug addict and an alcoholic. I know he reads my blog from time to time, and I hope this post might help save his life. Although as/

An Amazingly Epic (Sober) Weekend

I went to Catalina this weekend with my bestie Rachael to soak up the sun and get away from LA for a while. The weather was gorgeous, the people were amazing, the food was delicious (although it is DEFINITELY time to hit the gym!) and the adventures were epic.

Because I stopped/

Danger in Your House

So I have been hesitant to write about it, for fear of jinxing myself, but my loan has been approved, all the paperwork is done, and I get the keys to my new home next week. I am so beyond excited!! This is the first place that will/

Crocodile. 18 + ONLY Please. DO NOT CLICK IF YOU HAVE A WEAK

STOMACH

So this was brought to my attention by the always amazing Megan Gowler, to help me with my blog.

I should first say that I have a closeted addiction to those "before and after" meth pictures. It's like a car accident, you know? Just can't look away. Well

You Guys and 20,000 Hits

** These stats are from my blogspot blog.

http://angelonthewagon.blogspot.com/

In a few days I will reach the nine month mark. I just passed 20,000 hits. I was thinking about what I've been doing, how I ended up on this path, and most importantly how I've stayed on it.

Amy Winehouse

I debated writing anything about her. I think it is wrong to capitalize on the tragic death of a young woman, but I feel like it has merit here and is worth talking about with the people who read my blog. Plus I make no money off this thing anyway, so

The Power of Positive Thinking

My brain is tired so I have decided to let other, far wiser folks give you the pearls of wisdom, that only On the Wagon can. ;)

Tired

I am exhausted. This weekend I didn't do a whole lot. I went to the gym, but other than that, I just kind of flopped on my couch or bed and relaxed. I woke up early, took naps both days, and went to sleep early. I have had/… Read full post »

Advertising - The Smoking Addition

Recently I posted a comparison of drinking ads, as opposed to what drinking really looks like. You can view that HERE. Due to the attention, and appreciation the post received, I thought it made sense to do one for smoking.

Here are the beautiful, fun, adventurous smokers who appear on our/… Read full post »

Sober Sally gets Pulled Over

So last night I drove down to San Diego for my bestie Rachael's mustache birthday party extravaganza. I, of course, didn't drink, and played DD for the birthday girl. I had to drive back up to LA to work this morning, so I decided to leave after dropping/… Read full post »

Advertising

Given that what I now do every day gives me a little insight into the advertising/marketing world, I have been thinking about how advertising convinces us to drink. It can be pretty bad for us when we abuse it, yet we are bombarded with pictures of healthy, happy, smiling young people… Read full post »

Workout Tracker

So low and behold, I woke up this morning and slid easily and comfortably into my size six jeans. Okay, maybe I can't really breathe, but that's beside the point, because they fit!! ;) Woo-whooooo!!!!!

Accountability + Realistic Goals + Perseverance = SUCCESS!!

An Excerpt From My Blue Soul

From the Darkness / Age 27

About the neglect, about the pain,

Accepting that I was a victim,

Destined to always be that and nothing

Grateful for What I Have

You know, the last two days I have been mopey, sad, pissed off, etc. I got in another car accident, which is just retarded. How can people not see my bright red car?! The girl admitted it was her fault and said she will pay out of pocket for everything, but you never/… Read full post »
