Seriously, we checked, and it is OK to not drink. It's actually more than OK; it can be amazing to discover what you're capable of when your head is clear. But doesn't it sometimes feel like the message from our surroundings is that everyone drinks all the time, and you're the odd one out for choosing not to? We believe it's ok to not drink, whether it's in general, or even just at a party. We laid out a few more of our beliefs in our latest blog post here: https://www.drinkershelper.com/new-blog

FIVE FREAKING YEARS OF FREEDOM!
•
•
I gave myself the most valuable gift of my lifetime on March 4th, 2014 by CHOOSING to free myself from the wrath that alcohol had over me. •
•
I was scared, and really unsure of what the future held, but knew that I HAD to go to rehab if I wanted to stay alive. It really was a matter of life or death for me, and if I'd stayed stuck in that big black hole, it'd be safe to say that my death bed wouldn't be too far away at this point.
•
•
Five years ago today, I remember waking up sober for the first time in many years. My head was foggy, and laying in that strange bed in a house full of people I didn't know made me SUPER uncomfortable to say the least. That was the moment where I had no choice other than to get REAL comfy with my surroundings because some major growth was about to happen whether I liked it or not.
•
•
Luckily, I've always been the kind of person who can succeed when I really want to (think it's the stubborn Taurus in me). I'm able to put my mind to something and make it happen. At that point in my life, I was also really good at making good things not happen, but in this case, I WANTED sobriety.... BAD. I def wasn't 100% ready to take on the challenge, but knew that NOW had to be the time. •
•
I will never claim to know everything. There's no one way to go about recovery. I do know that recovery is possible for everyone though, and if you're struggling, there IS hope. A friend told me early on that life in sobriety only gets better, and at the time, I felt that he was blowing smoke up my ass. BUT, I was able to find the truth to that statement because I just kept going.... hour by hour... day by day. •
•
So, here's to yet another year of LIVING! Remembering my "WHY", trusting the process, and embracing each and every new stage of this journey is what's going to allow me to live many more sober years, and I'm def ready for whatever path God takes me on. Thank you to all who have been by my side through this crazy ride. I truly love you all! ❤

Same girl: Addiction vs Sobriety (2011/2019)
You might not be able to tell from looking at this wedding photo from 2011. I was good at it...appearing like "everything's good", "I got this under control". But what you don't see on my wedding day is the sheer exhaustion and terror inside.
It was the final straw of being able to "hold it all together" and appear "fine." I was far from it.
I had been drinking for well over a year almost everyday, taking adderall the week of my wedding to get all those last minute details done. Then chasing it with cheap wine later that evening to drown out the anxiety that set in.
I broke down 2 days after my wedding into a full blown alcoholic state. I was done. I didn't take care of myself for so long and my addiction took over and my body shut down. So what you see on the left is someone who appears to have it all together, but deep down she was crying for help.
It's crazy to think about how much I've grown mentally in these past 8 years, more so in the past 1.5 years from coaching. Smiling in both, but 1000% more confident in who she is on the right.
I think I was about 127 lbs. And on the right, I'm not sure how much I weigh right now because I don't really care. I don't place value in the number on the scale.
I don't drink. I don't take adderall. I don't place my worth in other peoples opinions of who I am or how they think I should live my life.
I workout for just 30 min/day. Not two hours anymore. I eat food that makes me feel good, whether that means broccoli, or a piece of cake on occassion. And I make sure I pour into my cup first, so I can pour into others.
If I were to quit coaching tomorrow, I would be super grateful for what it’s given me.
To tell my story without shame? That’s how we heal and recover. I’m grateful every day for the life I have today because I decided to do the work
