So it’s been a while since I’ve updated. I always write these posts in my head and then never get around to actually writing them and then there’s so much I want to say that I don’t know how to articulate or organize it. I found the photo at the top of this post on […]
Today marks 60 days of sobriety for me. It was an odd day, but a great one nonetheless. I didn’t even remember it was my “soberversary” until my sponsor texted me this morning. Part of me feels like “a bad alcoholic” for not counting the days, minutes, seconds of clean time because I earned that […]
As I was trying to take a nap today, my brain wandered to a million different places (as it usually does) and I was thinking about how different my life feels today compared to a few months ago- like insanely so. My mind supplied the “genius” lyrics in Katy Perry’s song Firework, “do you ever […]

So thus far, I’ve kept my sobriety journey on a need-to-know basis. I’m not ashamed or embarrassed about it, but it was only something I shared with the people closest to me. Yesterday, for my 30 day soberversary, I decided to “come out,” if you will, on social media. Below is the image I posted […]
I initially set out to begin blogging about my journey through sobriety shortly after I made the decision to quit drinking; however, these last thirty-plus days have been a whirlwind.
