12/23/21 (Day one at Detox)

yesterday, my neighbor told me everything - about how I was drunk taking care of her children. Luana dropped off clothes to me yesterday. I don’t know what to do except sit on my phone. I’m plagued with guilt over the way I was around the babies. 

1/2/21 (Day 3 at Rehab) 

Happy Birthday Mom, I love you. Wait, I saw Christian- Brendan’s friend in AA- and John I worked with at Wholesale Warranties? Zoom is weird. I love Marlyn I’m so happy she’s my counselor.

1/3/21 (Day 4 at Rehab) 

           I wrote a letter to Mom and to Luana. I finished the book, “Ordinary People”, by Judith Guest. What is it about finishing a book that’s so god damn sad? It will be dark in two hours. And I’ll be okay. I’ll start another book and cry about a small furry animal, actually 3 small furry animals that I miss so much. The main thing is that I don’t want to die right now. I used this blueberry hair mask and I thought it smells like a baby prostitute (a line from the movie Mean Girls) which isn’t so funny anymore since my roommate is an 18 year old prostitute. 

         I started Naked Lunch- it isn’t easy to read for a brain dead drunk who can’t count the dice she rolls in Monopoly. Yes I am playing Monopoly now. We had to le`ave it out on the floor tonight because, like a drunk man with whiskey dick, we couldn’t finish. Elisa falls asleep reading every night so I just got up to turn out her light. She is still holding up her book. Lauren is reading, too, the same way my mom reads in bed: laying on her side with the book in her right hand. Yesterday was my mom’s birthday, and Elisa’s brother would’ve been 21 if he hadn’t died of an overdose on her kitchen floor. I still don’t know my COVID test results, but I say to Brandy I must have already had it since I was working all of this year. And Elisa chimes in she was homeless all this year, and I’m again one-upped by someone who was a minor up until last Monday. I’m going to keep reading until Lauren falls asleep so I can turn the fans off without guilt. Goodnight, red journal.

Music is the only thing keeping him alive. It is his only anchor. It keeps him sane.

“There is no dealing; he knows that much. There is simply the stubborn, mindless hanging on until it is over. Until you are through it. But something has happened in the process. The old definitions, the neat, knowing pigeonholes have disappeared. Or else they no longer apply. / Judith Guest, born March 29, 1936, is best known for her first book, “Ordinary People”, about a family struggling to deal with death, suicide, depression, survivor’s guilt and identity. 📚 #gsbauthorquotes #gsbquotesjudithguest . . . . . . . . . . #gasstationburrito #onthisday #literaryhistory #bookstagram #books #bookworm #author #authorquotes #authormemes #writer #writerquotes #judithguest #ordinarypeople #suicide #survivorsremorse #identitycrisis #statusquo #everythingischanging #theoldrulesnolongerapply https://www.instagram.com/p/B-UagpUBCyC/?igshid=7gsvxra5apfz
