Recently I got 3 years sober - woot woot! I’ve made some big changes. I cut out A LOT of people who were bringing out the negativity in me, & though I’m a *bit* lonely, I feel a lot happier. And I’m getting a service dog! Which is something I’ve been working towards for 8 years. I’m finally well enough to reach this goal, whereas before I was way too disabled (ironic, right?) to be able to handle it. And I’m getting married, which is unbelievable to me. I feel like a little kid playing dress up. Anyway, that’s what’s up lately.

I am 14 years sober today!!! This day is more exciting to me than my birthday because it is the day I decided to change my life for the better and change my life forever. Getting sober was one of the best decisions I could've ever made, and I am so grateful for how my life has turned out. Getting sober has made me more determined and driven, which helps me in my daily life with my home life, mental health, and career. If it weren't for getting sober, I would still be stuck at rock bottom trying to figure out my life and find my way. My life continues to grow with new opportunities, one of which starts later this week, and I cannot wait to share more about it and document my entire experience.
Sobriety was never easy, but because of the hard work I put into it, my life continues to shine through with bigger and better things. Years ago, I would've never thought I would get married while my parents were still alive or have the success in filmmaking I have now. Without sobriety, I believe I would not be where I am today. My sobriety is one of the most important things to me in my life, and I would never trade it for anything in the world.
If you, a friend, or a loved one are struggling with addiction issues, please know that if you are willing to build the courage and take the first step to try and get sober, life can get better. Please feel free to reach out to me, and I would be happy to listen and be there for you however I can. The first steps of recovery are scary and take a lot of work, but from my experience, I can say it is well worth it.

Day 3 of not smoking weed and I can tell my day-to-day problem-solving skills are already improving. My mood is wayyyyy better today too! Got up at 7:30am and was productive before work which is crazy for me. I usually slept til 11 bc I don’t have work til 12:30 most days and then didn’t do anything after work so I honestly didn’t have much hobbies left. But! today I brought all the etsy orders to the post office, donated plasma, and starting planning out how I’m gonna decorate my grad cap all before work! And I’m only mildly sleepy just bc I don’t usually get up that early, like, ever. I also have a shit-ton of different paintings I wanna create soon and I’m really excited to start them! Gonna look for more places to vend too so if anyone knows of any pls lmk! 💛💛 Also gotta work on my tattoo design portfolio so I can land my dream job! Now that I have more energy I can actually do that 💛🥺
