Been feeling rather uninspired lately, or perhaps just taking a break. Maybe a bit of both. Either way, I took a little creative liberty to an unforgettable night in detox while withdrawing from alcohol for this post. Click the link in bio for some word salad.

Calling myself a functioning alcoholic was just another way I decorated the cage I was in. It was how I justified my alcohol problem and prolonged seeking help for it. There really is no such thing as a functioning alcoholic. At the end of the day, a functioning alcoholic is still an alcoholic — no matter how it’s qualified.

In active addiction, hearing “why don’t you just stop” from those who don’t understand the struggle can be blood boiling. As simple as it may sound, the “just stop” suggestion is far from easy. For many of us, it’s the hardest thing we’ll ever do.

The first year of sobriety is tough—no joke. Obvious reasons aside, early recovery is so difficult because we have to do everything sober for the first time.

The holidays. They say it’s a joyous time for family, feasts, and festive cheer. But, if you’re in recovery, it can be a time for navigating the treacherous waters of the “Holiday Bermuda Triangle.” The Bermuda Triangle consists of Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s, and this “jolly” time of year can be difficult for people in recovery to get through. But with the right tools, we can sail into Dry January unscathed. Check out our tips for staying anchored this holiday season at the link in bio.

Bruh, the fatigue in early recovery is real. Very real. So real, that in my early recovery, I thought I would be dead tired for the rest of my life. Early sobriety exhaustion can feel extremely unmanageable and taxing, but trust, it will pass. Learn more about early recovery fatigue at the link in bio, then take a nap

Hangxiety is the worrrrsssssttttt! Post bender anxiety is quite real and it’s one of the many reasons why I stopped drinking altogether. God it blows. Nervous fatigue aside, the good news is, you’re definitely not alone in feeling a sense of doom as a result of last night’s rager. Read more about hangxiety at the link in bio
