There was a time I didn’t want anyone to know my story.
I thought if people really knew where I’d been, what I’d done, or how far I had fallen, they’d walk away.
But here’s what I’ve learned—when we tell the truth about our journey, we don’t push people away… we draw them in.

Because there’s someone out there right now who feels like they’re too far gone, too broken, too ashamed to speak up.
And your story—your messy, beautiful, unfinished story—might be the exact proof they need that healing is possible.

Don’t be ashamed of your story.
Speak it.
Own it.
Let it breathe.
You never know who’s waiting on the other side of your courage.

Sometimes the big picture feels too blurry. The weight of all the “what ifs” and “what now?” can make it hard to even move. But here’s the truth I’ve come to learn in recovery, in parenting, in faith, in life: You don’t have to have it all figured out today.

You just have to do the next right thing.

Maybe that’s getting out of bed. Making a phone call. Drinking water. Apologizing. Going for a walk. Saying a prayer. Asking for help. Setting a boundary. Saying yes. Saying no. Whatever it is, let it be one small thing done with honesty and intention.

That’s how we build a life we’re proud of. Not in grand gestures or perfect plans—but in simple moments of showing up, choosing better, and trusting that one step at a time really is enough.

You don’t have to rush. You don’t have to prove anything. Just do the next right thing…
One thing at a time.
One moment at a time.
One day at a time.

Tailgating takes on a whole new meaning on the 4th when you’re sober.

Being present in moments like these… surrounded by community, family, good food, and great music!

And then the fireworks start, a 15-minute show where just for a moment, everything else fades away. Gratitude fills my heart and explodes like the sky above me.

Happy 4th of July, have a safe sober holiday weekend to all my Sober-Now family.
We do recover. 🇺🇸✨
