Welcome

I'm Michelle and I'm an alcoholic.

This blog is a place for me to share my journey as a woman in recovery. I grew up in a violent, alcoholic home and developed my own addictions in my teens. Booze and pot were my drugs of choice, but I've taken all kinds of drugs. I got clean and sober on February 14th, 2009. I write with the hope that others might see themselves in my story.

I am in my 30s, married, and have two young children. I like visiting galleries and museums, chatting with friends over a cup of tea, working the 12 steps of AA, talk radio, documentaries, reading and writing. I also have strong interests in personal growth, health, nutrition, spiritual studies and photography.

Please feel free to introduce yourself! You can drop a comment on this post or email me via the "Contact Me" link. I'd love to hear your feedback and offer/receive support and encouragement. After all, that's what this program is all about -one alcoholic reaching out to another.

Thanks for visiting,
Michelle
