On May 27th 2016 I was hospitalized & detoxed from months of meth, booze and pills.
But my life was spared. Everyday since I’ve shared my gratitudes to keep me present, accountable, and sober.

“You like what you see now?”
The answer isn’t simple.
Shameless shirtless selfie—first in years.
A decade sober, still figuring out what balance looks like.
“A body I can actually live in. Not a shell. Not a mask.”

Nine years ago today
I detoxed in a hospital, barely hanging on. But one shaky step at a time I began to change.
Now I have a home, a husband, a dog, a job that supports me—writing life that’s finally unfolding.
One day at a time. One miracle, then another.

Why are cats represented more here. I love a good cat, but look at this guy.

It’s his day. Not that other guy’s.

Like most, I had forgotten what day yesterday was. Because I’ve made a habit of accepting reality. 🤷

Yesterday my husband told me he was impressed I’ve stuck with daily gratitudes for the eight plus years I’ve been sober. 3,117 days to be exact, and I’m grateful for every single one. I’m grateful to have stayed on the path and found the willingness to surrender. It is beyond what I could dream up.

Today I’m grateful for my #bulldog Bronx. Our love for each other is limitless. I’m grateful I have a voice and a platform to share from. And for all the gifts long term sobriety has granted me. I’m grateful I’m alive and get to show up today as my most authentic self. It’s beyond my wildest dreams.

But for real though. Pay some GOD damn taxes.
