Hello fam!!! Holding myself accountable here and posting my top tips for staying sober during the biggest drinking holiday of the year 💛

1️⃣ have a plan! know what you’re going to tell people who ask you why you’re not drinking

2️⃣ what are you going to drink? bring your own non-alc bevs!

3️⃣ have an escape route! how can you leave if you have to?

4️⃣ play the tape forward!!!!

5️⃣ message a friend who gets it if you need extra support

Don’t drink this Thanksgiving!!! It’s not worth it. It never is. You got this 🙏

Seasonal depression sucks!!!! If you’re feeling this way too, you are *not* alone 🥲

Things I’m doing to combat it:
- making this content
- wearing bright colors
- ordering my new “happy lamp”
- being okay with unproductive days
- moving my body as much as I can
- telling friends how I feel
- reminding myself this feeling is temporary
- lots of journaling
- new mediation routine
- being kind to myself

I share this because this s**t is HARD and it sucks.

I haven’t been posting that much recently because I’ve really been feeling the funk. But I’m going to try harder to hold myself accountable to this page. For me and for all of you 💛

Feeling super grateful that this isn’t my baseline 24/7, like it was when I was still drinking 🙏

Posting my sober holiday tips tomorrow xx

Last night I co-hosted a Friendsgiving with at and it was truly INCREDIBLE! 💚✨🥂

✨ So many new friendships were formed.
✨ Delicious food was consumed.
✨ The best elixirs were flowing.
✨ Community was created.
And there was no booze in sight 😎

You TRULY do not need alcohol to have fun or make new friends 🎉

Happy Friday, fam. Don’t drink this weekend. It’s never worth it!!! 🥰

Make it make sense!!! 🤦‍♀️🫠

Alcohol is a drug… Why it’s so socially acceptable still baffles me. 😵‍💫

Remember, “no” is a complete sentence. You don’t owe anyone anything 💛

It’s been a busy two days! 💛✨

Congrats to on 10 years! They’re doing incredible and important work - creating FUN spaces for people in recovery. I’ve been part of their family ever since my first ever sober event in summer 2022.

And congrats to (who is also doing such important work for people in recovery) on a phenomenal evening at the Whitby Hotel (where SICP was the proud beverage sponsor of the night!) 😎 This event was in honor of veterans, with a panel moderated by the one and only about a new film coming out called “Between Wars”.

⭐️ seeing different groups of sober girlfriends at these events seriously made my entire week. There is *nothing* like sober friends. Sober girlfriend. Who just GET YOU in ways other people can’t. Sooo incredibly grateful for you ladies 💕

Happy Friday, fam 😘

Happy 7 years together Mr. George!!! 😭✨💕

I wouldn’t be sober without George… and I definitely wouldn’t have this page. I rescued him at this exact moment, 7 years ago. But he actually rescued me 🥹

We’ve been through A LOT together:
✨ George and I have lived in different 4 apartments (starting in Brooklyn!)
✨ We moved out of the city during Covid and he was my rock
✨ I was holding him in the lake (June 2020) when I had my “out of body experience” where I finally realized I needed to get sober (listen to any podcast I’ve ever been on for this story lol)
✨ He helped me start moving my body and keeping a routine
✨ He taught me true unconditional love (from someone besides my mom)
✨ He sat with me while I cried and cried during my first few months of sobriety. Scared with no support but him (and my therapist lol)
✨ He HATED my ex(husband) and was THRILLED when I ended it so George and I could share my king size bed just the two of us 🥰
✨ He pushed me to explore Central Park (which led me to creating this page!)
✨ He helped me meet SOOO many incredible friends over the years

The list could literally go on and on. He’s my best friend. He saved my life. If you’ve been on the fence about rescuing a dog, take this as your sign to do it!!!! 🪧🐶

These are some of my favorite posts throughout the years (I wish I could include 100 but I had to pick 20 so here we go) 🤪

with so much love,
Rach + Mr. George

I currently have a knee brace, black + blue toes, blisters, and have shed sooo many tears but I hiked the ENTIRE Salkantay trail and finally made it to Machu Picchu 🤩✨😭

It was surreal (obviously)

I sat and did a mediation by myself, clutching all the crystals prayer beads I brought with me. I gave an offering to Pachamama 🍃 and felt like I was where I was supposed to be - doing what what I was supposed to be doing 🙏

I still can’t believe I actually did this!!! As my sister texted me: “2020 Rachel would never!!!!” 😭

This entire journey has pushed be so far outside my comfort zone and reminded me how bad ass being sober is… and how mindset is everything… and how grateful I am for my life back in nyc (I miss Mr. George so much 😭)

I’ll be hobbling around Cusco today before I head back to the city but damn you guys… what a week it’s been 💛

More to come on this once I have time to process and integrate back into humanity lol 💫

Xoxo

fighting for our lives on the Salkantay trail to Machu Picchu but still found time to record this 😎

10/31/2025

Today was HARD - we hiked another 10 miles. My knee was killing me. My big toes are bruised. I had to switch to Tevas for a while but I DID IT. 🙏

We even went to a coffee farm and made our own coffee from scratch ☕️

Then we literally hiked through the jungle 🌳

I was pretty much alone for most of it - blasting all my EDM and throwback jams (music helps sooo much 🎶)

I loveddddd the uphill. My favorite part for sure. 📈

The downhill on the other hand… my left knee was killing me with every single step.

After we reached the summit at Mesapata (where you can see Machu Picchu!) I had a total fu***ng melt down on the way back and sobbed for like the last 20 minutes. 🥲

I was in so much pain. It was dark. I was tired. I’m PMSing …. It was a perfect storm. 😭

BUT one guy on our trip - Mitch - single-handedly made sure I was okay. He got in front and shined his flashlight behind him so I could see. He grabbed my pack and literally carried it the final way down to where we are staying. We only met a few days ago but it really reminded me how KIND and CARING people truly are 🥹

We have another long day of hiking today before we get to Machu Picchu tomorrow. This s**t is HARD but it’s also so worth it.

I’m super grateful for
I’m super grateful for this experience.
I’m super grateful for my sobriety.
I’m super grateful to be here.
Thanks for cheering me on.
I love you all so much 💛

Guys!!!! OMFG this is probably the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my entire life but I’m LOVING EVERY GOD DAMN SECOND!!!! 😭✨🙏

I have soooo many stories to post - I’ve been vlogging as much as I can - but here are some favorite moments from the first two days of our hike 💛

We’ve gone over 30 miles at idk how high (10,000 ft?) and I’ve seriously been having a blast. It’s hard but it’s so fu***ng cool. Our trip is 8 people and every single person is an incredible human being.

There’s so much more I want to say but it’s 520 am here and we start hiking again in an hour and I’m always the last one ready because I brought so much damn stuff 😂

📣 STEP OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE! Do had things. It’s sooo worth it. I’m so glad I’m sober. And I’m so glad I’m here 😭

Thank you Ryan for being your hilarious self and making this trip possible. I love you and can’t wait for more adventures to come 💕

I’m officially a hiker girl and I’m loving every second (so far lol) 😎

So much to recap over the last two days in Cusco, but damn you guys… I’m just feeling so grateful to be here with these amazing souls 🥹

Yesterday, we did a scavenger hunt around the entire city (my team won obv) and I had to dance with a group of performers.

Old me NEVER EVER would have done that. I would have cared way too much about what other people thought. But this version of me? LOVED EVERY SECOND 💃

We also did a mini practice hike up to the Jesus statue. I was sure I was going to struggle with the altitude but not only did I crush it (my heart beat was only 8 beats more than Ryan’s 😉) and I enjoyed every minute of the hike 🤩

Who am I??? Not sure. That’s still TBD after we start the real hike at 5 am on Tuesday morning… but I *do* know that I’m surprising myself at every turn + I’m soooo proud of myself for coming on a trip like this + TRULY stepping out of my comfort zone. 🙌

Today we head out to our glass cabana’s, where we’ll be able to see all the stars and prepare for the Salkantay trail to Machu Picchu 🥾

We’re going from glacial lagoons to jungles and hiking 40 miles thousands of feet above sea level (pro tip: TAKE THE ALTITUDE MEDS! THEY WORK!) ⛰️

I won’t have much service starting tonight but I’ll be capturing everything for my return lol

I love this community SO much. If it weren’t for this page, I wouldn’t be on the trip right now with or or my client Steph 🥰

Don’t be scared to start something hard!
Do the damn thing you’ve been putting off.
We CAN do hard things 🙏

Today is day 1,758 without booze and I’m SO DAMN GRATEFUL 😭
