When you are free from the denial, the excuses, the “I will begin tomorrows”.When you are free from the pretending you’re ok and the hiding the pain, when you’re strong enough to face life without a crutch that’s actually harming you.When you say frank that and do better every damn day.That’s when the transformation begins.Continue reading “When the transformation begins.”

500 Days
Today marked 500 days without alcohol. FIVE HUNDRED. 500!! Nights like tonight are bitter sweet. Ordering coffee to the waitresses surprise with our group celebrating a birthday as they took shots and ordered round after round. I never thought this would be me. I never thought I could have a great time like this withoutContinue reading “500 Days”
living like a fraud
@recoveryisthenewblack_ 🎤 a little louder for the ones in the back. (but not too loud because I know you’re probs hungover 😵) This was a HUGE moment for me deciding to quit alcohol. How can I be healthy AND consume alcohol the way I did? It’s an addicting substance that is no way good for yourContinue reading “living like a fraud”

three hundred sixty five
All that time in the gym and not once did I practice for this jump. Something I wanted SO BAD and couldn’t wait to do, I didn’t plan out one bit. 🤔 Kinda like I do most things. Wing that shit. 🤷🏻♀️ I go full force into something. I stumble + I fall but ultimatelyContinue reading “three hundred sixty five”
350 Days
You can work sooo hard on healing and growing past trauma but in a flash you can be right back to feeling like it just happened, pain so fresh, wounds still open. 350 days ago I would have instinctively turned to Tito’s to take these feelings away. I would have numbed what was happening andContinue reading “350 Days”
We are NOT what happened to us, we are what we choose to become.

He said “why did you stop?” + evenContinue reading “We are NOT what happened to us, we are what we choose to become.”
Donut Worry, Be Happy.
I’m a cryer. I cry when I’m excited, sad, mad, happy etc etc. #alltheemotions I had taken a happier selfie but then I had a moment. A moment when my eyes filled with tears and my brain and body was overwhelmed with anxiety and fear. A moment that can be paralyzing for me. Why this happens exactlyContinue reading “Donut Worry, Be Happy.”
