Quoth the Camser

by Cams Campbell

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

  1. Masonic Installation Toast

    I was installed as the Master of Lodge St Molios No 774 on 14 October 2023.

  4. A Downward Spiral that Led to an Epiphany

    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...

  5. Looking for wins amongst the losses

    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...

  6. How will others find me if I'm not doing anything to facilitate that?

    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…
