I lost my husband to addiction. He’s still living (we think) but as a husband and father to my children, addiction to pills took him about a year into our marriage. I didn’t realize how bad til years later and by the end it got so bad he was stealing money from us nightly andContinueContinue reading “Leave the Light On”

300 Days
So today I did a thing. 😎🖤💕
I like me alcohol free.
Y’all know I’m a sucker for a side by side. Here’s the last 3 Mother’s Day weekends. ✨✨✨ 2017 my first Mother’s Day after leaving the abuse. Not my first one “single” by any means + the pain and the darkness is still super real here behind the eyes and smile. Don’t get me wrong,ContinueContinue reading “I like me alcohol free.”

Wake daily with GRATITUDE
When I quit drinking I was terrified how I would navigate life without alcohol.

Absolutely astonishing that we would live a life that isContinueContinue reading “Wake daily with GRATITUDE”

When I was pregnant with Nolan (age 31) I remember telling some of my closest friends that 33 was officially going to be my year, the year for me. IContinueContinue reading “Thank You, Baby CoCo”

Everyday since saying no to alcohol, I’ve learned things about myself that I had been hiding away out of fear, anxiety, and past trauma. When you aren’t able to be your true self even in your own home this puts a darkness and negative energy on who you are. It makes you doubt, have guilt,ContinueContinue reading “You can not heal in the place that made you sick.”
Healing from within.
A little over 2 years ago I left my abusive husband after he nearly killed me in front of our 3 boys. During the demise of our marriage, years of living a life with him that was horrible to endure I dove very heavily into drinking to cope. Help me sleep, numb the loneliness andContinueContinue reading “Healing from within.”
