Giving myself therapy by writing about how much I still need therapy, because it’s really hard working as a therapist, especially when you’re in recovery…and perimenopause is a 🤬! jenwielgusjournalism.blog/2025/05/03/m...

“Springing ahead” into my 70th month of continuous sobriety with a new perspective on/relationship with my body that has been almost 47 years in the making… #sobersky jenwielgusjournalism.blog/2025/03/09/a...
Ability
The video was my husband’s idea, and in hindsight, I’m so glad he “pulled over” trailside and took it, because otherwise, I’d have precious few visuals to use with this post. True, it’s a poor repr…

I didn’t “change teams,” but being able to embrace the Eagles (and their fans) is part of a 22-year growing up process that started when I moved here for a job. And when I say “Go Birds!” today, I feel like I came by it honestly. New blog post: jenwielgusjournalism.blog/2025/02/08/p...

My husband brought home balloons today and declared that we’re celebrating “2,025 (days of sobriety) in 2025,” and I’m all for making a big deal about the little things that bring us joy and make us grateful. Don’t know how else to be fully alive in this timeline without going 🦇 💩 insane!
