Here's the current status of my backyard. But back in October 2024, when I launched my Substack, White Snakeroot had taken over. I thought it was just a weed, but then a fancy estate garden showed me a different reality.

Turns out you don't need to be wasted to feel the collective ✨effervescence of a summer concert. You just need to be present.

Check out my latest Substack about attending 🎵 concerts sober.

Not realizing that my thinking has gone off the rails is a fear of mine in sobriety.

I would never suggest we alter AA’s Twelve Steps. The old timers would FREAK OUT! But if I had my druthers, here are some of the copy edits I would make!

You know that squirmy feeling when you replay a conversation in your head and cringe?

In my latest post, I share how the tools of recovery help us work through those uncomfortable moments instead of just sitting in them.

In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, this week's Substack features a published essay about a time I was struggling with depression.

As the #NIMH says, "Our lived experiences are the most powerful tool for change."

We are breaking for spring. Enjoy the flowers, and we'll see you next week!

Please subscribe to my Subtack at elizabethjannuzzi.substack.com. When I'm not on spring break, I share my musings on my recovery from alcoholism to remove its stigma.

I’m leaving on a jet plane ✈️ for a writing conference in LA. But I don’t need to worry about my sobriety because recovery meetings are everywhere!

I’m going to AWP. I’m so excited! But not psyched for the focus on drinking that happens at these conferences. Thank you AWP for adding recovery meetings to the schedule.

Life's been heavy lately – from losses to the LA fires. In this week's Substack, I wrote about what it means to be there, even when (especially when) we don't know what to say.
