Deuces, Spirits
Read more: Deuces, SpiritsWe were raised to be good people. We knew right from wrong. But we didn’t make the most incredible choices after tossing a few back. As soon as we walked away for good from that toxic liquid in whatever flavor, we relearned how to be the sisters we were meant to be. And now that…

Relapse? Nah. Reset.
Read more: Relapse? Nah. Reset.So last night somebody asked me, “what’s the one thing that the most people relapse over? Break up? Death in the family?

Leveling Up

No Thanks, Alcohol
Read more: No Thanks, AlcoholHave you ever noticed the way that alcohol mandates your life? I only noticed it after I quit drinking. The phone calls and texts before an event – who’s driving (not me!!!!), what are we drinking, do we have enough? Oh no someone got hurt but no one can drive! Oh no I sent a…

Ride On, Ladies
Read more: Ride On, LadiesI’ll never ever forget the time that I heard a friend tell another “Dude. Sometimes you just have to ride it out.” In that particular instance, he was talking about a “dry-good” (aka – drug) because he knew that the only thing that would make that situation better was time. Triggers come and go. Feelings…

Easy, Baby
Read more: Easy, BabyI used to wonder what ole Lionel Richie meant by easy like a Sunday morning. I mean, I get it but Sunday mornings used to be horrific. Our bestie @sobergirl_glo felt the same way. Sundays for me were to wake up in a panic not knowing who was going to be pissed at me and…
