One of my #soulsisters and tattoo artist is going to be back in town next week and I want to share her with anyone and everyone in SoCal who may be interested in booking with her. . . . Go check her out! @justmashaofficial
🤫shush right now. I know what I said. Yes, there is coffee in this cup. 8 years ago, it would have been wine. I totally have traded one addiction for another. Let’s be honest, more than one. But I’m still living happy, joyous and freer every day. So there’s that. 🙏🏻🙌🏼💪🏼#pinkysupbitches #unity #iboozeilooze #recoveringoutloud #alcoholic #coffeeaddict #addiction #addict
Left 3 outside and it rained. First I said “welp, thanks God” and then I went a took a low drier to it🙄2 left and I’m just gonna tell you right now, I’ll probably do the same with them. Mark my mother effing words though, I will not buy another pack!! #disgusting #quitsmoking
I’m really feeling that pink cloud, sober glow these days. I just turned 40 at the start of a brand new decade and launched my biz. My kids are getting more independent and my marriage of 10 years is on fire! That was not the case 8 years ago. . . . I got my second DUI on my 32nd birthday and spent the night in jail; aghast at how I could have let it happen again. 🙄 Hilarious now that I was so surprised and grateful today that it happened. So I have another misdemeanor on my record, so the fuck what? What matters is what I did with my life after. . . . I pouted. A lot. I bitched, whined and complained. I didn’t actually want to quit drinking but thankfully I got pregnant 1 month in and haven’t had a drink ever since. THAT is a miracle you guys. . . . When I consider what my recovery has looked like these past (almost) 8 years and everything I have heard from other alcoholics, I should have drank by now. Seriously. I can’t believe I haven’t. But I can believe I was miserable for over half of the 8 years and it’s because I was spiritually bankrupt and not working a program. . . . I am amazed at how turning my will over to a loving Higher Power, whom I call God, has transformed my entire life in the past 3 years. The Promises found in the big book of Alcoholics Anonymous are coming true every single day. I genuinely can comprehend the word serenity and I know peace. Most days anyway😉 . . . We are not done, my God and I. No no no. I have more skeletons in my closet - well, not really - you know I’m a full blown addict by now and I still have 2 to nip in the bud: cigarettes and caffeine. Thanks AA for co-signing those bad boys in the early days. Not AAs fault, I should have never picked up after my two pregnancies. I knew what I was doing. I knew the risks. And I did it anyway. That’s on me. . . . Stay tuned you guys. I’m gonna embark on the quit journey once and for all and I’m gonna use this page for it. I can’t take it anymore and i need to write about it. If you’ve read all of this, thank you! . . . #alcoholicaddict #recoveryjourney #sober #alcoholism #recoveringoutloud #quitsmoking #caffiene #addictioncomesinmanyforms #sodoesrecovery #morewillberevealed
I didn’t always feel this way. I was a miserable dry drunk; sometimes wishing I HAD listened to my first sponsor and waited on having babies. But then, if i had, my babies wouldn’t be my babies today. In fact, I likely would have relapsed again and again, being locked up or dead. You know what?! I bet I wouldn’t even have a home to call home. Thank you God for making me so uncomfortable and helping me climb out of the darkness and back into the light. #goddidformewhaticouldnotdoformyself #sober #alcoholic #recovery #iboozeilooze #myrecoveryrevealed
None of this would have been possible if I were still drinking. But let’s talk about that awesome bruise on my leg. . . . Back when I was drinking, I was always covered in bruises from all my stumbling around🥴but this shiner? Roller skating with my daughters. 💁🏻‍♀️ . . . As I always say, at least I wasn’t drinking. 🙏🏻💪🏼 #iboozeilooze #alcoholic #icanstillparty #sober #recovery #aapromises #freedom #alcoholism #myrecoveryrevealed #morewillberevealed
