Welcome
Sobriety is beautiful!
Sobriety has given me so many unexpected gifts.
I aspire to live my life authentically, unapologetically honest, and smiling!
The beauty of sobriety is having gratitude for the idea that you will forever be learning about yourself and constantly growing as a person.

Hi, I’m Katie & I’m an alcoholic
Being sober isn't all fucking sunshine and roses. Anyone who's struggled with addiction will tell you that walking down recovery road can often times feel like life's fucked up game of dodgeball. You're just barely hanging on, and something smacks you in the face. The benefits far outweigh the negatives. Slowly but surely I've found self worth, my confidence, my voice, and my SERENITY. Serenity, that is a strange word, I didn't believe in it, like the tooth fairy before getting sober. The anxiety that filled my brain was constant and overwhelming, and drinking was my way to quiet it. I've worked the steps of AA, done a lot of work on myself, and I now enjoy a peace that I am beyond grateful for.
If you've found your way here, it was not by accident. So, I'm going ask all of you who visit my site to do something that might make you uncomfortable, I am going to ask you to trust me. Trust that my intentions are pure. Trust that I want nothing from you, only to help! Trust that I believe even the most hopeless alcoholic can get sober. Trust that I will be vulnerable, honest, and put all my shameful moments out for you all to read. WHY? Because, I want you to know I have been where you are. I've ridden that shitty broken down roller coaster and jumped off. I come baring my soul to you friends, in the name of recovery!
I don’t believe everyone needs to be sober, but all addicts do. This disease ruled my life for too long and now that I can truly feel and see the beauty and benefits of sobriety I want to share my knowledge.
I originally created this site for the newcomers. But the stories I tell and what I share with you are just one girl's journey finding her way to a sober life. I don't claim to have all the answers, and I am not an authority on getting sober but if I can make you laugh or cry or feel something I've accomplished something.
Sending LOTS of Love

Not so anonymous anymore HOPE FOR YOU
My hope is that anyone who comes to my site does so with an open heart and an open mind. It doesn't matter if you're sober, sober curious, in or out of a program, your spiritual beliefs, your taste in music, or even if you like cats! LOL
Not long ago I would've poked fun at a lot of the things I now believe to be true. Feel free to laugh and enjoy, as long as you do so with an open heart and mind.

This site is dedicated to my beautiful niece Mila Mary, my sister Kelly, my father Roger, and my mama Mary who’s our angel. Without these people I may have made a different choice August of 2021. I love them very much. And it is because of them I’ve chosen to remain sober and use this platform to hopefully help others to achieve happiness through sobriety as well.
At around the 2 year mark in sobriety for me I realized I was replacing alcohol with other unhealthy and distracting behaviors to avoid my feelings. It occurred to me to in order to continue to grow and attain the happiness I wanted in my life I needed to stop running from my emotions and fears and start facing them head on. That is the journey of healing I’m on and hopefully it will heal others in the process!!!!!

Fear is the cause of every problem. It's the root of all prejudices and the negative emotions of anger, jealousy, and possessiveness. If you had no fear, you could be perfectly happy living in this world.
