A Day in the Life of a Recovering Alcoholic
I started this blog to begin with to try to get my story out there and help as many people as I could. As it turns out, it does little good to be writing to myself, so I have spent many months researching, taking courses, and updating my blog to learn how to reach as many people as I can. I also wanted to make a point to show how real it gets. The more I look around online to what people are posting, making videos about, etc, I have determined that I want to be as real as possible…because how else will you be able to relate to me? I have included in my website, not just my blog posts to relay my story, but also anything and everything I am passionate about and want to be able to help people with. With almost 7 years of sobriety under my belt, I know a little something, then again I really know nothing at all. So, that means we will be going through this life thing together. I will continue to share my experience, strength, and hope, being as real as possible, and hope you will do the same. Whether you relate to being an alcoholic or not, I believe anyone can benefit from the the program that I work. So here’s to trudging this road to Happy Ever…[you fill in the blank].
Is the Grass Really Greener on the Other Side?
So, I think a good transition from keeping it real would be to talk about our true alcoholic...
Who Am I?
Something that I have been thinking about lately, are things that I am passionate about: my likes and dislikes, views and beliefs. Thinking back, I was always the person that did not have my own likes and dislikes, my own voice, my own mannerisms, my OWN anything…I...
Where is God?
With everything that has been going on in this world in the last year, or last few years, there is one simple question that comes to my mind: “where is God?” I remember when I first got sober, the whole God concept seemed super difficult and foreign to me, mainly...
Trust the Process
Ever heard this one before? If I had a dollar for every time I have heard someone say this, I’d be rich. The first time I heard this phrase I was in treatment for the 3rd time. We filled out an inventory every night and one of the things I always circled to work on...
What Have you Done for Someone Else Today?
Wow, that used to be a super tough question, and honestly it can still sometimes be, because the truth of the matter is that I’m super selfish. Our book tells me this is the root of my problems, selfishness, self-centered. So, what do I do to combat that? Specifically...
Is the Grass Really Greener on the Other Side?
So, I think a good transition from keeping it real would be to talk about our true alcoholic thought processes, those of which don’t just go away as soon as you get sober. For me, it has taken action and a lot of it, to allow my thought processes, patterns, and...
Social Media: Where is the realness, Where is the truth?
So, speaking of the truth, where is it these days? How do we find it? I can tell you exactly where you can’t find it is anywhere on social media. If that is what you are looking for, maybe try a face to face conversation and you might have more luck. Something that I...
Just Because I Don’t Have Children, Doesn’t Mean I Don’t Understand
And I’m back. Life is busy…very busy. And a lot has happened on here since the last time I talked to you guys. I don’t have all the time in the world anymore. Not like I had all the time in the world before, but with life these days, my free time is truly pretty...
Gratitude to the FULLEST
Lately I have been feeling an overwhelming sense of peace, gratitude, and joy and my need to write it down has been even more overwhelming. I remember when I got sober, they said it would come, they said you would be living like nothing you have ever imagined, but at...
Life is Unfair
My husband and I heard an interesting church sermon about a week ago. The pastor was talking about how life is unfair, yet we walk around thinking that it should be fair. He was referring to how we act when bad things happen in our life. The first thing we do when...
Counting the Happy
What I seem to be paying more attention to lately in life is all its many annoyances. I am naturally a little bit of a “Negative Nancy”, so it’s safe to say that I easily see all the annoyances out there. If I let myself, I can be annoyed with absolutely everything....
