Here’s to loving your authentic self this #Valentine’sDay, with all your goofiness, quirks, and pain.
Here’s to loving the process, the journey, the self-discovery.
And here’s to not needing Valentine’s Day to look the way society says it should. What the fuck does society know?

Sobriety means freedom from the constant gnawing of an obsessive, brutally unkind mind, free from resentments and anger, free to be present in each moment and available to the people around us.

Addiction takes many things, but relationships are among its most reliable casualties.

After survival
comes sensation.
Feeling returns
before meaning does.
Grief.
Pleasure.
Longing.
This stage feels unstable,
but it is reanimation.
Recovery here is not control.
It is permission
to feel
without escape.

Recovery as a Journey Through the Chakras
Begins in the root with safety and survival
The nervous system learning it will not be abandoned again.
This stage isn’t poetic.
It’s repetitive.
It’s showing up.

At some point, recovery stops asking what you’ve escaped
and starts asking what you’re willing to stay for.
This isn’t about addiction anymore.
It’s about learning how to live
without anesthetizing the fact that being human is a full-contact experience.

Early recovery taught me how to say no.
Recovery after recovery is teaching me how to say yes
without disappearing inside it.
To love without urgency.
To rest without guilt.
To be ordinary without mistaking it for emptiness.

There are relapses that don’t involve substances.
They look like over functioning. Like being agreeable. Like staying busy enough to avoid stillness.
Recovery after recovery means noticing when I go numb in ways that look productive but feel hollow.

No one warned me that grief would arrive after sobriety.
Not the obvious losses—
the subtler ones.
The years I disappeared.
The versions of myself that never got a chance.
The relief I once relied on.
Recovery didn’t erase the past.
It made me safe enough to mourn it.

I thought recovery would make me peaceful.
Instead, it made me present.
There is no substance between me and my feelings now.
No fast exit. No dimmer switch.
This is the recovery that comes after the crisis—
when the work is no longer staying alive,
but staying.

Drugs and alcohol will always sever my connection to the Divine. And that knowing—that lived, sacred truth—keeps me sober.

We can list reasons, rationalizations, and excuses—but the truth is, we don’t know why we picked up that first drink.
The Big Book calls our logic the philosophy of a man who, having a headache, beats himself with a hammer to forget the pain.

Delusion, illusion, or obsession, the problem is in our minds. Alcoholism is a mental illness—not just stinking thinking, not just the voices—but the terrifying inability to remember our suffering or stop ourselves from repeating it.

Recovery love sees us at our worst and remembers what it was like to be there, too.
It comes through strangers who know us better than we know ourselves—strangers who see through our lies, hear the words we can’t say, and understand our pain because it was theirs.

The idea of life without alcohol was terrifying.
If alcohol were responsible for every aspect of me—my thoughts, feelings, beliefs, behavior, and character—who would I be without it?
