hello hello.
this is an emotional episode. i’m gonna be talking about drug abuse and relapse, not in specifics, but i know very well how difficult of a subject that can be. so if this is not something you can deal with today, or maybe ever, i will see you next week. for those sticking around, welcome back to “Presenting…Genesis” where I *very slowly* come out of my “whale mode”.
as you can tell by the title of today’s episode, i relapsed. i wasn’t sober for very long, 8 months, but even one day is amazing to me. for a while, even though i knew i had a problem, i didn’t go sober because i didn’t want to deal with having relapsed. but now that i have (and not for the first time) there are a lot of thoughts. although i'm not currently in any of the Anonymous rooms, i'm reflecting on the first two steps. click the links below to learn more about the 12 steps.
this is all an improv. i didn’t write anything down before recording this episode so listen to Genesis uncut and go easy on me please. i am soft. especially now.
if you want, you can find me on substack under Presenting…Genesis. this podcast is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, TuneIn, and Substack. Give a review, send me an email (presentinggenesis@gmail.com), or write a comment.
thank you for being here and i’m happy to be here too ⭒
