Sober Sunny Life

✨💜 A sober mind has helped me pay attention to and be genuinely grateful for the people who show up for me.

The ones who are there because they want to be, not only when it’s convenient.

I’m so thankful for my inner circle. As I’ve gotten older and as I’ve stayed sober, I’ve come to appreciate consistency, reciprocity, and the effort people make in a completely different way.

I don’t take it for granted.

And I don’t always do it right, but staying sober allows me to do my best to show up for them, too.

💞Nothing more fulfilling than spending Saturday nights with my bestie sober sisters.

Our time tonight reminded me that we are so fortunate to be alive, be in good health, and share our recovery together for more than a decade.

In my opinion, real relationships rooted in acceptance, love, presence, and laughter are the greatest gift of sobriety.

At first, being sober felt like a punishment…like I was being grounded, forever. Years later, I consider myself blessed to be part of this club.

Who knew Saturday nights could be such a hoot? I was fully there for every moment. I’ll sleep well tonight, wake up tomorrow remembering the whole night, not regretting a thing—and still like myself.

If you’re struggling, reach out. We recover together.

🩷 When I’m intoxicated, I’m an altered version of myself. Sometimes that person is fun, silly, and playful. Sometimes that person is offensive, mean, and angry.

☀️ Every day I stay sober I learn more about myself and have more access to the beautiful soul that arrived here in perfect form. Part of the reason I drank was because it gave me access to “the REAL me”, so I thought.

🌒 But progressively, drinking took me farther away from “the REAL me” until my Light faded and I stopped recognizing myself in the mirror. That’s why it felt like a double life.

💫 Today was one of those days where I stepped into the fullness of my being and felt fully expressed, and it happened while I was helping others. I never had this much fun and or felt this kind of power when I was drunk, ever.

✨ Whatever you do, please don’t give up. No matter what. You’re too important to too many people. The world needs you.

⏰ Sometimes it’s going to be one minute at time. One decision to ask for help. One moment where you choose to stay instead of clock out.

❤️ There are so many avenues to help and lots of people who want to support you getting well. Reach out. My DM is always open.

🩷 Sending love to every single one of you.

✨This is the secret sauce. Helping another person. That’s it.

🌷The biggest gift I ever gave myself was stepping into the role of a sponsor and then eventually, Coach. Two completely separate roles, both rewarding and empowering.

🩷 This is what keeps me sober today - paying it back and forward.

🦋 Have a beautiful day!!

✨It’s scary to try. There’s risk in disappointment and vulnerability, but there’s also risk in discovering you’re actually capable of more than you allowed yourself to believe.

🚀 I try scary things in tolerable doses and the payoffs surprise me every time.

🦋 One day at a time. One calculated risk at a time.

🌷My thoughts create my reality. If I tell myself I can, I will figure out a way. If I tell myself I can’t, I probably won’t even give it a try.

✨What would it take to keep an open mind just for today?

One small step! Have a beautiful day!

♥️ We never have to miss a moment again.

🤩 Freaking amazing!!!
