Thank you!

Fifteen years in, I am overwhelmed with gratitude. For the people who loved me when I couldn’t love myself, for the community that carried me, and for the life I get to live today. I don’t take a single bit of it for granted.

I didn’t start this work until I had five years clean, so it was never a survival strategy for me. I want to be clear though, that those who do engage in survival work have every right to do so. Their stories deserve respect, not stigma.

It also matters to me that people understand the intersection of recovery and 🎷 work. The media loves to push the narrative that folks only do this work to support an addiction or because something is inherently wrong with them; but that isn’t the truth.

I’ve always been open about being in recovery because I think it’s important for people to see that it’s possible to bounce back and build a beautiful life, no matter what you’ve lived through.
