the call i didn’t see coming
the other day, i walked into the gym with that familiar mix of dread and determination—the kind that sits heavy in your chest when you’re trying to rebuild something that was taken from you. i’ve failed out of physical therapy three separate times now, not because i didn’t try, not because i didn’t want to…

september, october, november of ’24 — the hardest months
let’s flash back to a little over a year ago. that was the season everything inside me cracked open. the season my addiction sank its claws in deep. i wish i could tell you there was a single moment that started it, a clear memory i could point to, but there isn’t. what i do…

when healing hurts: the truth about accidental addiction
it’s morning again—and my body’s already shaking its way into battle. the kind of morning where i wake before the sun, not because i want to, but because my body decides it’s time to remind me what dependency feels like. the withdrawals are back—creeping in like an old ghost that knows exactly where to press…

what no one tells you about loving an addict
no one really prepares you for what it means to love someone who struggles with addiction. from the outside, it can look simple—offer support, encourage treatment, stay patient. but beneath the surface is a quiet, complicated landscape that friends and families walk every day, often unseen. what no one tells you is how heavy the…
