I like Clean and Crazy because.......

Cliff Note: After too long of an absence, I like...Because is back. If I don't get sidetracked again, this will continue to be an at least once a week feature here.

Clean and Crazy, aka Suzi, is one of the recovery bloggers. I hold all recovery bloggers in high esteem, as they are making positive strides in bouncing back and improving their lives. CNC is a member of Narcotics Anonymous and is very active with it. She is also an up and coming gardener. And I would be remiss to say that she is the proud mom of some very cute children.

Clean and Crazy started following my blog early this year and has been a great supporter. She also has been eager to follow other blogs and is a delight to have around. And when she gets the impression that I'm not having a great day, she's quick with the encouraging comment. Even when I haven't been to her blog in awhile, she is faithful to come to mine. She has learned quite a bit about blog etiquette.

One time I blogged about my identity and she started her comment with "My name is Suzi, and I'm an addict." I admire her dedication to NA and her friendship to other NA members along with the other recovery bloggers. I feel that because of Suzi, there will be others who will be able to express their gratitude to her for helping them improve the quality of life with the example she sets every day.

I enjoy reading about her life. She blogs about her daughters, her gardening, her partner, Wes, and her friends. CNC is a very bright light in the blogosphere.

Check out Clean and Crazy's blog. It's called My Recovery. I also have to say that I love her web address, surrendertowin.blogspot.com. It gives you the essence of ALL everyday life as we cannot do it on our own.

The great thing about recovery blogs is that you have to give it away to keep it.

For some reason, these posts usually work that way. If I'm aware of another blogger on my list having a rough time, I try to do something to lift their spirits. Other times, such as with this post, I find out after I post that things are rough.

Hang in there Suzi. There are lots of us who care for you.

Post 800: Time to chat

Hi Guys, It's hard to believe that this is post number 800 for this blog. I started this blog out of my desire to communicate. Since radio and television is becoming more and more automated and less and less personal, I'm glad I made the decision to go in this direction as it has given me many blessings. When I first decided to write my musings, a friend from the radio and television boards who goes by the name of newsnomore, told me not to be discouraged if I didn't get any readers. The fact that I did in the early going made me surprised and grateful that anyone was enjoying what I wrote. I've had people tell me that maybe it wasn't meant for me to ever be in radio, that maybe my calling was blogging. Nowadays I think blogging makes for better two way conversation than terrestrial radio, especially the way I do it, non confrontational. The closest I come from any confrontation is the innocent digs that Pat and I shoot at each other. On an average day I get betwee...

Bananas and Sleep Apnea

First thing I want to do is welcome all the good folks from Australia who are checking me out as a result of Google searches. I recently wrote a post on sleep apnea , discussing my history with it and my new CPAP machine. Because of this and the name of my blog, this is the top site google lists when somebody types "bananas sleep apnea" into the search line on Google. All of the sites I have seen, that were not the usual sites that come here, ended in "dot au" which I know as Australia. Normally the only hit from down under is by my good friend David McMahon. The reason for the search is that a research team in Australia has found. as a result of a study, that drinking a banana smoothie may assist in easing conditions that cause sleep apnea. Phospholipids, or fatty acids, in bananas stay active in the mouth for six hours and may keep the throat open, therefore reducing the risk of choking. Further studies will expand to those, like myself, who need a breathing machi...

Why?

What I'm posting now is with the blessing of Chelle. Chelle is the cousin of Suzanne's husband, Richard. I had gotten the impression from both of them that they were about as close as sisters. Suzanne had been a friend of mine since I had discovered one of her blogs in July, 2006. We would make reference to each other on our blogs and would have dialogue via email quite a bit. It was no surprise to me that she was friends to many other bloggers as well. I felt it was quite an honor to be held in as high esteem as I was. We even talked to each other on the phone on occasion. I felt as we had known each other for a long time. I also knew that Suzanne was having some personal problems, much of which had to do with a very troubled marriage. I would let her bounce things off me, and I would send her some encouragement. While she was going through some of her marital problems, she made herself available to give me a lift when I needed it. My son was having some problems of his own a...
