In December of 2015, I decided that I would never drink again.

The story of alcohol struggles is one that is not told often, and if it is told, I am not sure it’s told very honestly (or well).

I think the shame and the barriers to discussing struggles with addiction should be destroyed, and obliterated, so that anyone (ANYONE!) who needs help will have it – and have it with LOVE and SUPPORT.

Through my work, I am seeking to break down the shame, the barriers, and the negative associations with taking a stand, grabbing our power, and deciding to be sober people.

In April 2017, I created the online support community called “Grateful Sobriety.”

Who is welcome? YOU are if you:

• want to stop drinking;
• think you need to stop drinking;
• have years of sobriety under your belt and love the support;
• are stubborn and scared about your drinking;
• know someone who you want to support in their quitting drinking; or
• just want to give back to your community with your gifts of counseling expertise or sobriety.
