Honest talk from a 1971-born Scotsman who got sober in 2005 and quit opioids in 2017. No holds barred - philosophy, spirituality, addiction, recovery, mental health, pressures of life, gratitude — these are all parts of my life that I talk about at length. camscampbell.substack.com

I was installed as the Master of Lodge St Molios No 774 on 14 October 2023. In my toast to my Installing Masters, I talked about the similarities I’ve always felt exist between Freemasonry and Alcoholics Anonymous. I recorded my toast on my iPhone and am publishing the first part of it here, in which I talk about the similarities between the two or…

Note: Sorry if you get this twice. I’m still figuring out Substack’s podcast hosting implementation. I'm talking through a bit of a meltdown I had the night before and the epiphany that it led to the next morning as I wrote my Morning Pages. I hope that my vulnerable honesty comes through as an example to others of how I'm working to improve myself…

I'm off to a good start today. My cold is a bit better, the sun is shining, I recorded a video podcast when I was out with Clover and I got to do my writing on the porch. I examined some behaviour yesterday of which I'm not proud. I can do better. I will do better. I put some Jacques Herbin Rouge Hematite ink into my TWSBI Diamond 580 this morning …

This is day two with my Pebble Stationery Co. A5 notebook with Cosmo Air Light paper. I'm very happy with it indeed! I wrote with the Edelfeder and Diamine Bilberry yesterday and the Pelikan M400 with Fuyu-gaki today. There was no bleed, no feathering and, best of all, no squeaking with the Pilot!

I was up early this morning - around 05:30 after lying awake since 04:00 listening to a couple of podcasts. It was a good time for some reflection on what I create, who it's for and why I do it.

My friend and benefactor, @adventuroussou4. This gesture reminds me of a quote from my favourite series of books, the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant: You will not fail, however he may assail you; there is also love in the world. Words to live by. And, as a pure freaker, check out what I wrote on this very day last year during a workshop for Foster s…

Rocking the Kaweco AL Sport with an EF nib this morning. It worked pretty well in that notebook. I did get Clover down to the Co-op for more power. I still can't believe it's up to over £20 a day though. How do they get away with it? Because we let them, I guess. We should be marching or something. Video Diary This is a public episode.

I don't suppose every day's writing can be great, or even good. Today's one of those days. But showing up consistently is my goal, and I achieved that. I'm feeling good and positive and ready for a productive week next week. I did do my weekly review after writing this morning and it's really helping me a lot to keep that Notion system going. I've …

I talked to Lorraine about the swimming membership and we both think that we can’t afford it right now and I should instead be getting up the Hill of Beans because it’s free. It makes me sad, but it’s probably the right decision for the time being. We’re still paying off the overdraft and have used the credit cards to get the kids’ Christmas presen…

I'm trying out writing with a gel pen for a change. This paper is fountain-pen friendly, but the notebook is nearly finished and, rather than buy a new one, I may just start using one of the many non-FP-friendly notebooks I have on the shelf. I'm actually quite excited by that idea, because Lord knows I have plenty of pens that aren't fountain pens…

There is a video version of this audio podcast here: Video podcast Since recording this, I’ve moved the hosting over to Substack. I’m still not entirely sure how that works as a podcast host, but I’m curious to find out. I researched it when I got home from recording, and it seems to make sense on a lot of levels. If you have any thoughts, I’d love…
