How my journey began…

Life has been SO rewarding, and at times VERY challenging these last ten years during my recovery journey. Getting sober is f*cking hard, and requires you to dig deep, while allowing yourself to transform all areas of your life. It is absolutely one of the best things I have ever done for myself. I had no idea what recovery would look like after that first year. I was solely focused on learning how to not pick up my “poison”. During that first year, sobriety was AMAZING and the initial results of just not drinking were quick to show themselves when I looked in the mirror.

However, I struggled going into my second year of recovery and beyond. I didn't feel comfortable in my own skin, and I wasn't sure how to be comfortable; or what that even looked like? Something was missing. I was broken for so long that I was just learning that I would need to piece myself together. I was off on my journey of self-discovery learning how to function in a world I used to watch as a bystander, and start learning how to participate in my own life.

I never asked myself what I wanted my life to look like as a sober woman. I didn't believe in myself, or know how to make what I wished for into a reality. For so long, I let others choose for me. More specifically my addiction. I didn’t know how to stand up for myself, to choose me everyday, and to use my voice. You too can learn how to create a life you love!
