#Meditation journey, day 5: listened to a guided meditation. One day I’ll be able to not fall asleep during one. 😴 #naptime

The guy in the pew who knows Bible verses isn’t loved more by God than the junkie on the street who knows none. 🛐 #grace

Meditation journey, day 4: nothing thickens the skull like expectations. 💀 #mindfulness

It wasn’t until I stood up from the crash that I finally understood the fall. 👣 #recovery

Meditation journey, day 2: the monkey mind phenomenon is real! 🐒 #mindovermatter

Easy does it. ☮️ #recovery

Meditation journey, day 1: prayer is when I talk to God. It’s about time I listen. 🧘‍♂️ #mindfulness

God, thank you for this day. Thank you for the air in my lungs. Thank you for another chance to make the world a better place. Amen. 🙏 #faith

My life is being built by who I am when no one is watching. 👀 #growthmindset

If I sit in “I,” it’s illness. If I sit with “we,” it’s wellness. Here’s to wellness. 🤝 #recovery

A group of Gen Z asked me to take their pic with a disposable camera and said “just hit this button” like I didn’t take hundreds of blurry pics for years before iPhones. 📸 #millennials

I’ll take care of me for you. And in the process I’ll learn to take care of me for me. 💘 #recovery

If I don’t have time to mediate 5 min a day, I need to meditate 10 min a day. 🧘 #mindfulness

I cut off my nose just to spite my face, then I hate my reflection for years and years. ❤️‍🩹 #swiftie

People in recovery are very kind. And very direct when they want/need to be. 😳 #brutalhonesty

Faith up, ego down. #recovery

I’m able to drive my Jeep again after 6 months free of seizures. 🚙💨 #grateful

I can get off the Cross now. Turns out martydom isn’t a recovery plan. Suit up, show up. 💥 #sober

Posting a photo of someone other than myself for a change. Meet my dog Ripley. 🐶 #dogslife

Now is the time—the only time there is. If I’m not kind to myself now, I can’t expect respect from anyone else. ⏰ #recovery

Self-pitying won’t get me where I want to be: happy, joyous, and free. ⛓️‍💥 #recovery

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference. Amen.

Struggling, tbh.

Humility and intellect can be compatible, provided I place #humility first. 🧠 #recovery

I’m deleting all my selfies with AA coins, even though they’ve gotten a lot of love. AA is an anonymous program, and I don’t want my experience to shape anyone else’s view of it. But I’ll still keep talking openly about #sobriety.

I’ve been seeing my therapist for 7 years and she just said I’m doing the best she’s ever seen me. Grateful. 🥹 #mentalhealthmatters

I didn’t find God, God found me. And I have to say I’m a very satisfied customer. 🙏 #recovery

After downloading too many #selfhelp books the next one recommended for me is “The Exorcist.” Touché, Audible. 🤮

The place in your heart that was broken becomes the strongest once it heals. ❤️‍🩹 #innerstrength

I’m not a bad person being good, I’m a sick person getting well. 💪 #mentalhealthawareness

Do you argue with your inner monologue? 🤔

Maybe the biggest realization is that I’m worthy of the healing I kept hoping for. ❤️‍🩹 #recovery

While I was pondering life’s questions a bird landed on me. I’m taking it as a sign of luck rather than an impending bird flu diagnosis. 🍀 #blessed

I started “Atomic Habits,” “Tiny Habits,” and “7 Habits of Highly Effective People,” so if u need me I’m developing the habit of starting too many #selfhelp books at once. 📚

5 months clean and #sober. Just for today—I’ll keep the demons at bay. 👹

I’m emotionally hungover. Admitting the exact nature of my wrongs to another human being is exhausting. 🤕 #recovery

Had very intense drinking/using dreams last night. 😵‍💫 But I didn’t actually drink/use, and I won’t drink/use today. #sober #odaat

First things first—anything I put before my sobriety I will lose. 🛑 #recovery

No one gets #sober until being drunk is more painful than facing the things they’re running from.

Ate fruit instead of ice cream today so if u need me I’m a health food blogger now. 🍎 #choices

Day 140. Life’s not 💯 right now (is it ever?) but as long as I stay clean and #sober, things’ll work out like they’re supposed to. 👣

Other people’s success is proof that I can do it too—using inspiration as fuel instead of letting comparison steal my joy. 👍 #growthmindset

Not living to be sober, being sober to live. ❤️‍🩹

Try again. Try again. Try again. Try again. Try again. Try again. Succeed. 💥 #resilience

Friendly reminder that Jesus spent his time with the poor and the outcast, preached mercy and peace, and likely wasn’t white. ✝️ #happyeaster

If my peace depends upon everything going right it’s not peace—it’s control. ☮️ #mindfulness

130 days clean and #sober. Every experience in my life is being orchestrated to teach me something I need to know to move forward. ⏩

It doesn’t matter how slowly I go as long as I do not stop. 👣 #recovery (unless my husband is driving)

Life is too short to waste time waiting for other people’s approval on how I live it. 💥 #selfworth

People can’t love what they can’t see. Vulnerability is strength. 🫶 #mentalhealthmatters
