After 8 years of Sobriety and doing things the hard way, I realized that putting the plug in the jug and just showing up wasn‘t doing it. Follow me as I go through my journey into sobriety, we will explore the steps, and talk about having positive mental health affirmations and growth. I am now 13+ years sober and am STILL learning, and I want to share my sobriety - unfiltered - out loud so you can recover too. We CAN recover if we have the capacity to be honest - one day at a time.

We talk a LOT about how we were SELFISH during our using, but one thing we forget, is that it is okay to be selfish. Don't get that twisted, but self care is an absolute MUST in order to stay sober. So how do you balance being "selfish" and being "Selfish"? Glad you asked, let's find out together!

Episode 51: The One Where We Need To Slow Down
Wednesday Nov 30, 2022
Wednesday Nov 30, 2022
** FINALLY THE EPISODE YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR** You will see why this episode had to be waited on when you listen. This was one of the hardest episodes I have had to record. There are SO many things about alcoholism that if we aren't aware of can become all consuming, those things, some are our behaviors. You see, it's not just about not drinking, alcohol is merely a symptom and "just not drinking" is not the problem. Addiction can be in any form and so can "soothing" behaviors. Y'all have been with me over a year now and while I say a lot of things that make sense, I also am an alcoholic, so I am still fallible. This is why working our program is SO important. If anything, this episode will be a lesson for you on why working your program is vital to your sobriety and the success of your life.

Episode 49: The One With Comparison
Wednesday Nov 09, 2022
Wednesday Nov 09, 2022
I think one of the biggest downfalls we experience, no matter HOW far into sobriety we are is comparison. We are constantly comparing ourselves to friends, family, co-workers, and others in sobriety. We are all works in progress, and I am very guilty of "keeping up with the jones" - but until I let go absolutely, and I identified inTO AA my life was topsy turvy. Now, I love that I fit in with a group of people. This is my journey with finding myself.

Episode 46- The One With People, Places and Things
Wednesday Sep 14, 2022
Wednesday Sep 14, 2022
The only reason that people, places, things and situations bother us is because OF us. That's right. We can't find serenity until we truly accept where we are in our lives and sobriety and until then, many, MANY things will continue to be a trigger...like going home.
