Jess’s SobrieTea

Here I go through my journal entries and read some parts of the book that I have gone through so far in the workbook.

Trauma and The 12 Steps the Workbook by Jamie Marich and Stephen Dansiger

Mental health overview, PLENTY of coping skills and free resources, and personal experiences.

Trying to let go of a 21-year resentment isn't easy, especially when it's about the person who gave birth to you.

I'm vulnerable because others vulnerability helped me.🖤

Interviewing Kat for the first time since October 2020! We discussed some of the lessons we've learned throughout recovery, and look forward to learning more as time goes by.

Rumination isn't healthy, so I am trying to process my trauma to finally get past it after 10 years.

Recent and past losses have really impacted me lately. It's ok to not feel ok about death. I keep reminding myself it's healthy to process it, even though it's painful. I'm doing it without any alcohol/drugs, so that's a start. I'm leaning on my support system instead.

Addiction is a family disease. Here's a small part of the story between my Mom and I. It's taken a long time, but we have a relationship now that I'm really grateful for. Recovery and working the steps play a HUGE role in that. Maybe this will give others hope who may be dealing with a similar situation with their loved ones who have addiciction and/or mental health issues. Things CAN get better if you put in the work.💓
