A breakfast of pure, unrepentant pleasure: Emmental and pumpkin seed crispbread, cheese spread—thick— (because subtlety is for people with self-control), ham, and finally, a sharp cheddar finale, sealing the deal with a bold, tangy kiss. 🤌 #Sunday

A quiet kind of magic. New fleece, gentle walk, a meal that tastes like magic. The warmth of a body beside mine, the calm of a night unblurred. My life stitched back together, moment by moment. And in the morning, nothing lost—only light. Delicious. #sobersky

Spoiler alert: the first few (hundred) times we ask ourselves "what do I need right now?" in trauma recovery, the answer's going to come back "NOTHING!", "who cares?", or "what kind of trick is this?"
That's just old conditioning. Keep asking.

5 things I learned in treatment:
- You can’t “win” at healing (I tried)
- Quitting one bad habit doesn’t mean you won’t replace it with another
- People will love you, even when you’re a mess
- Rest won’t kill you. Burnout might.
- The only way out is through

I am done in today. Full of a cold, exhausted, overwhelmed. All of those familiar demons chattering away in my head. I will stay sober because that’s the only way. My body needs rest and comfort, not poison. #sobersky

Any and all progress in trauma & addiction recovery is better late, and/or messy, than never.
Don't let anyone tell you different-- including you.

I’ve shapeshifted so many times I should have my own folklore.
I don’t know if I’m in my hero’s journey or my villain era, but I do know this: the old story doesn’t fit anymore. So I’m writing a new one. Maybe burning a few pages.
Anyone else?

New day. Fresh start. Clean slate.
I am slowly learning that I don’t have to have everything figured out - I just have to keep showing up. One step, one moment, one choice at a time.
Wishing everyone a steady and peaceful day ✌️

4 months sober.
Grateful to wake up this morning without a hangover, feeling in control and more capable of handling whatever life throws at me. Recovery is possible. #sobersky

Clubs and bars are out. Let's open a late night Bookstore where you can silently mingle, drink tea, and read into all hours of the night.

No one told me that, beyond the actual quitting part, recovery is about rediscovering who you are.
What do I actually like? What do I believe in? What do I do with my time now I’m not drunk and/or hungover?
It’s equal parts lonely, disorienting, and exciting.
