Hello
My name is Jen. I am a Recovery Coach by day, Recovery Influencer by night, Recovery Blogger weekly, and on a couple of occasions, a Recovery Motivational Speaker. My goal is to help end stigma by living my life in sobriety out loud and by advocating for recovery. This blog is meant to help you relate, make you laugh, and hopefully help you find comfort while navigating your own sobriety.
My Story
In April of 2020 I took my last drink. I had been trying to get sober for at least four years at that point and was on yet another dreaded "day one". Years of trying to kick the habit only to fall flat on my face. Why was this so hard? Why can't I get this right?
​
Struggling with addiction since I was around 14 years old, I had tried to quit throughout my 20s, and by the time I turned 32 I was desperate. Half of me was afraid to give up this lifelong crutch, the other half was pleading to let go. My rock bottoms fluctuated between losses in my personal life to emotional rock bottoms. My story began when I decided I had enough rock bottoms, I could not go back.
​
I created this blog in hopes my story will help others because I know exactly how painful being trapped in an addiction feels. There is hope, you can change your life, and you can move forward.
​
Best, Jen
