Nine years ago today
I detoxed in a hospital, barely hanging on. But one shaky step at a time I began to change.
Now I have a home, a husband, a dog, a job that supports me—writing life that’s finally unfolding.
One day at a time. One miracle, then another.

New #blog post! This week I #write to my mom about why I began drinking at 14yo and why I don’t drink now.
Definitely learned a lot about myself this week!

It's my (belated) soberversary.
4 years sober.
5 years clean.
No AA
No NA
Only Zazen
And Mother nature.

It’s almost dinnertime and I just realized it’s my 8th sobriety anniversary… when you start to forget these things, it’s a strong sign of successful recovery. Sending love and solidarity to everyone who is still in the strong current + those are are in recovery ❤️ #soberlife #soberwriter
Today is for pacing
Prioritizing
Savoring our dogs
Writing down dreams
In the present tense
Giving them a title
Listening to the abundant creativity of the Dreamtime #soberwriter #dreammaker #dreamweaver #wakeuptoyourdreams
I don't make resolutions. I take daily inventory and course-correct all day, one day at a time. #soberwriter #books
There is only this moment. I am gonna choose not to be online. #soberwriter takes a deep breath and gets grounded.
Breathe with me?
I have been alcohol free for five years!!
Celebrating with friends and a whole lot of delicious AF drinks.
Who's with me and feeling very very free??
