Every new day is another chance to change
- so much change for me and it’s all been good. Not easy, but good. I wish I got sober sooner but my addiction had me in its grasp. Every new day is a blessing from God

This Dog has seen me drunk, sick,crying, yelling and more! He has been there for me through it all! Oliver is essential to my ❤️‍🩹 Recovery
He cheers me up and knows when I need hugs!

I had my first Dream 🛌 😴 💭 of 🍷 Alcohol 🍺 and drinking a couple of months ago. I was in a bar. I was drinking with some friends having a bottle of wine and laughing and having a good time and then I went home and drank some more and fell asleep. I woke up And I really felt like I had drank, the dream was so real. I was so blessed and so thankful that I was still sober and it was just a dream. But I didn’t like it!
Have you had this happen in Your recovery?

Let’s talk about it ⬇️

💪 I have to tell myself this a lot! Do you?
Because ➡️WE ARE

Getting Sober is so confusing!
My whole life changed.
I was a GM of Restaurants and a Dance Studio Owner
Now with my Foot Nuerapathy I’m slowing down on teaching Dance
However, with the Podcast doing well and getting my California Aestatition License (my Florida one doesn’t count here- so I have to do it all over again)
I am launching Wellness with Crystal!
Through Sobriety and wellness I will be promoting my Arbonne business and helping you Detox from Alcohol or Drugs and/or help you create a home base business.
Looking forward to all to come!
Thank you for your love and support of my journey! ❤️‍🩹.

Real Recovery is a Complete Lifestyle Change

No kidding! My life is way different!

🙌Don’t call or text people drunk
👍Drink Coffee ☕️ Never did before
👍Read and Attend Meetings weekly
🙌Host a Podcast on Sobriety

Recovery is change but it works, if you work it.

Join Crystal as she interviews Joshua Shea! Let's Talk P**n, S*x and Addiction...

Joshua Shea is an addictions expert, certified betrayal trauma coach and the author of three books about po*******hy addiction, including He’s a P**n Addict…Now What? An Expert and Former Addict Answer Your Questions (2019).

Prior to admitting his 22-year addiction to alcohol and 24-year addiction to po*******hy in 2014, Joshua was a prominent magazine publisher, award-winning journalist, film festival founder and politician in central Maine.

Since 2018, Joshua has given more interviews about being cross-addicted and about partners’ betrayal trauma than anybody in the world. To date, he has appeared on nearly 300 podcasts, television and radio shows using his wealth of research and personal story to promote the ideas that addiction, no matter the variety, spans all demographics and those with a problem should seek help before it’s too late. He also speaks extensively about the issue of working through betrayal trauma, especially with the partners of addicts and those who are facing infidelity.

In 2017, Joshua launched RecoveringP**nAddict.com. He has also contributed articles about recovery to TheFix.com and Recovery Todaymagazine, is a TEDx Talk speaker and has developed and presents a p**n addiction education lecture for churches, libraries and other groups.

It’s been 100 days since I launched the Sober Onions Podcast!
( I was 100 days and now I am over 6 months Sober)
When I first started I was scared and embarrassed to be so vulnerable about my addiction to Alcohol. I am not scared but now humbled and more educated because of this podcast.
I didn’t realize how hard having a podcast would be and it’s taken me 100 days to get it organized and learn all the editing (still major rookie) .
However, I can now commit and excitedly announce there will be a NEW Episode Drop
EVERY MONDAY!
If you subscribe on Spotify (still working on Apple) it will send you a notification!
I just want to say THANK YOU for your support, donations to get it started, donations to keep it going and for following my journey.

All my Love and Grattitude!
Crystal 🦋

This is a tough ☝️ one. With Covid 19 the excess of drinking alcohol has risen 500%. It’s okay to pull back a bit. My lifestyle is because of my POOR choices and the consequences of my actions. However if not in moderation alcohol is NOT good for your body. The “End The Stigma” movement is about not feeling guilty or being proud of saying - Alcohol and drugs aren’t for me, and not being judged.
