Thinking about quitting drinking? I wrote this piece about my history with sobriety or lack thereof. Maybe it will be of use to your journey. Link in bio 👆theoam.blog. Please enjoy “Over and Over—My Sobriety Map.” Spread the message far and wide. Xo. Thank you so much. ❤️ : : : #sober #sobriety #womenwhowrite #amwriting #wedorecover #lovewarrior #teetotaler #soberissexy #writerscommunity #femalepoet #mayitbeofbenefit

Movement in the morning light. 🌱I put on the radio and danced for fifteen minutes. This is the second time this week I’ve put on the music and moved without judgement. 🌱Living room sessions give old wounds room for compassion. 🌱To the person who is afraid to get back into the dance studio—or back to their particular canvas after so, so many years—please find fifteen minutes. Find a patch of carpet in your living room. Find fifteen minutes to be tender—to be totally brave and vulnerable. : : : : : #choreography #tenderness #dance #wildwoman #lovewarrior #edrecovery #sobriety #poetryinmotion #sober #vulnerability #empowered #edwarrior #kundalini #yoga

Summertime used to be synonymous with tanning, alcohol and cigarettes; opposed to wintertime which was synonymous with sweaters, alcohol and cigarettes. 🌞Today I am on the fourth floor of our building sitting under an umbrella with a waterbottle and a great poetry book. I still don’t know what it means to love my body by how it looks. There are so many soft parts on me that I want to scream—and sometimes I do scream. But I know how to love myself enough to take care of my body. This is the difference.🌞We are holy bursting roses, and all of this takes time. We are all learning how to open. I am a sober, non-smoking, mostly vegan, sunscreen applying, anti-plastic, feminist, woman. And learning to feel great in a bathing suit will come with time. It is okay that it is not today. Be wherever you are today.❤️#truthteller : : : : : : : #womenwhowrite #amwriting #teetotal #wildwoman #feminist #summertime #lovewarrior #wedorecover #femalepoet #yogaeverydamnday #mayitbeofbenefit #edwarrior
