Someone out there is ready to take their first step toward recovery—but they might not believe it’s possible yet. Be the reason they do. 💛

Whether it’s a kind word, sharing your own story, or simply showing up with compassion, you have the power to light the path for someone else. Recovery is real, and no one has to do it alone.



Please message me if there’s anything I can do to help. ❤️

Sobriety isn’t just about showing up to meetings, going to therapy, or even completing the best rehab program. Those tools are powerful, but real change happens in the quiet moments—when no one is watching, and the choice is yours alone. 💔

Recovery is built in those private battles, in the decisions we make when there’s no applause, no accountability—just us and our commitment to a better life.

If you’re on this journey, keep fighting for those moments. That’s where transformation truly begins. 💪❤️

🔥 Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is let your old life burn and start fresh.

If you’ve walked away from the things that no longer served you—habits, people, or places—you’ve done something incredibly courageous. One day soon, you’ll look back and realize it was the best decision you ever made.

New beginnings are scary… but they’re also beautiful. 🌟

💔 If you’re reading this, please know… your story isn’t over.

Recovery is real. I’ve seen it. I’ve lived it.
Even when shame whispers that you’re broken…
Even when the world tells you it’s too late…
Redemption is always possible.

Every sunrise is a second chance.
Every breath is proof that you’re still here, and that matters more than you know.

To anyone fighting their way through the darkness tonight: Hold on.
The next chapter of your story could be the one that changes everything. 💛

I was terrified of AA, until I experienced all of the love and kindness it offers. It’s truly the foundation to my recovery. Please message me with any questions. 

 💔 If alcohol has been taking more than it gives… you’re not alone.

There’s a place where people who’ve been there will sit beside you, listen without judgment, and remind you that hope is real.

That place is Alcoholics Anonymous (AA)—a free, confidential community where people share their stories, their struggles, and the victories they never thought were possible.

🌱 In AA, you’ll find:
• A room full of people who truly understand
• Guidance from those who’ve walked the same hard road
• Hope in every story, even on the hardest days
• Meetings every day—online or in-person—where you can just listen until you’re ready to speak

If you’re in Kansas City:
📞 24/7 Helpline: (816) 471-7229
🌎 Find meetings: kc-aa.org or aa.org/find-aa

You don’t need insurance. You don’t need a referral.
You just need a desire to stop drinking—and the courage to take that first step.

💛 Recovery is possible. Hope is waiting. And you never have to do this alone.

Relapse doesn’t mean you failed. It means you’re still in the fight. 💙

If you or someone you love has relapsed, please hear this: you’re not alone. Many of us have stumbled. What matters is getting back up—and walking back into the rooms of AA, no matter how heavy the shame feels.

Here are a few gentle reminders for anyone returning after a relapse:

🔹 You are not the only one—many have come back stronger.
🔹 AA is about progress, not perfection.
🔹 Your story isn’t over.
🔹 Coming back is a brave and powerful step.
🔹 No one is keeping score—we’re just glad you’re here.
🔹 Shame grows in silence—reach out. Talk. You are loved.
🔹 The doors of AA are always open. So are our hearts.

If today is your Day One again, we’re with you. Every single step counts. Keep coming back. ❤️
