My son recommended my nail color today ☺️ He’s the best at picking them out! It got me thinking about the weirdest thing that I was able to do only after I got #sober … After biting my nails for my ENTIRE life, I just stopped when I was about 6 months sober. And to my pleasant

I’m trying to figure out what happened to my sweet, loving, fun husband who used to talk with me for hours and would hold me tight at night 🤷🏼‍♀️ I want him back so badly. Depression is a bitch!

I got a couple of comments last night from people who seemed to think I’m not “being real” when I post all this good and positive stuff about my life, just because I shared this moment of anger and frustration. Well, let me tell you. Life isn’t perfect. Not yours, not mine,

God doesn’t do the work, I do the work. God isn’t going to pick up the phone and call a friend for me. God isn’t going to drop me in a meeting at the very moment that I need it. God isn’t going to send a community of people who understand me my way. And God isn’t going to

Ok, I going out out town this week… I’m getting this urge that I cannot fight. I can’t stop thinking about it. I’m gonna get a lot of shit for it, but do I care? What’s wrong with me? Am I crazy? Maybe I’m just bored? Is it the stress? Alright, I’m doing it… I’m

I just hit $500 in sales this morning! My little resale business is doing well for 12 days of business 😁 It’s so fun! & I start my sewing lessons on March 3rd! How do I have so much time for all this? Sobriety! #sober #recovery #RecoveryPosse #soberlife

So, I’ve been working on a lot of changes….One has been figuring out how to manage my weight. I’m 42, my hormones are imbalanced, I have PCOS, & 25 years of alcohol abuse leaves me with little indication of what works and doesn’t for me, and I figured out over this past year

My headspace tonight is about #selfcare . The 12 days of alone time has given me a chance to breath, to think, and to see how much I need to focus on myself and my son. There is no longer a plan in sight. Just #ODAAT . And I’d like to keep having more days like this.

The best part of the trip: taking my husband, a Marine Vet, to Arlington National Cemetery where we took a full bus tour, visited the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and saw the changing of the guards. It meant so much to Jeff to be able to see it, and I can’t think of a better way

I love seeing my husband smile, even if it’s just that little, closed-mouth one he does (that’s all we’re gonna get here, people 😂😂😂) I really like what #sobriety has done for him! We went to my nieces 9th birthday party today, and it was so cute! Nice to get some glitter,

I had an interesting conversation with my best friend this morning. She expressed how she wondered if she’s not doing recovery right because she still chases “highs” - like going to the gym, shopping, and being praised at work. I thought about that for a second and my instinct

Started the day having breakfast with my bestie celebrating her birthday! 🎉 And of course we also always celebrate the daily win we have from alcohol! We’ve gotten through the worst times together and now we celebrate the best times! #Sober #Recovery #RecoveryPosse #ODAAT

Happy #ValentinesDay to my husband ♥️ I am so proud of him for sticking to sobriety. It’s started off rough and I nearly walked away, but I learned that we can’t influence another person to get #sober , no matter how hard we try. I made peace with that and did the only thing I

Snow day! When the phone rings at 5:20 AM and you know it’s Dublin City Schools’ automated message that school is cancelled today… I actually am happy about it because my son’s utter joy was contagious 😆😂😁 He kissed me, hugged me and told me he loves me at least 5 times this

I should add that I am surrounded with support in the recovery community, see my therapist twice a month, practice healthy living, have strong faith and pray daily, journal, exercise… it’s is about mindful living. I am intentional about how I live each day.

Even though my son wasn’t taken from me, he decided, because of my drinking and treatment, to live with my parents for a while. I am so happy to have my son home again ❤️ The school year starts soon, and I get to be a fully involved mom 🥰 #soberlife #RecoveryPosse

It’s off to Washington DC for the rest of the week! It’s so nice to be rid of the anxiety I used to suffer from before I got #sober . I am giving a presentation in DC at a conference. Sober me is calm and I feel like I will do a fine job. Old me would have been pounding drinks to

I want to ask a probably dangerous question to #RecoveryPosse Does anyone cook with alcohol? I actually occasionally do cook with it. Limited to wine and beer. Important to understand here that it cooks off, but it tenderizes and adds flavor. I am honestly not bothered by
