Sober-Now

09/25/2026

Last weekend, as I was making my way to the Tampa airport after a beautiful weekend with the New Port Richey recovery community, I looked up and saw this rainbow stretched across the sky.

I had been praying about some very specific intentions… things I have carried quietly before the Lord, asking Him for direction, and the grace to trust Him with what I cannot see or control.

And then, there it was… 🌈

I know a rainbow doesn’t mean God is promising me that everything I have prayed for will unfold exactly the way I hope. But Scripture tells us that the rainbow is a sign of covenant. It’s reminder of the faithfulness of a God who keeps His promises.

In that moment, it felt like an invitation to remember God is still in charge. He is still faithful. He is still present. And I do not have to know what comes next in order to trust the One who does. Sometimes we pray for an answer, and what God gives us first is a reminder of who He is.

“Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.” (Genesis 9:16 ESV)

His promises remain… even when we are still waiting to see what comes next. Today I am grateful for my recovery and the spiritual journey this new way of life has brought me. And I am grateful for YOU! Keep going, one day at a time. 💜

This weekend, Sober-Now had the honor of being part of the Eucharistic Congress in Charlotte, joining an estimated 15,000 people who came together in faith to celebrate Jesus and His presence in the Eucharist. From the beautiful procession through the streets of Charlotte to the many events that followed, it was incredible to witness so many people gathered together as one in faith.

So many beautiful moments were shared in unity through the Holy Spirit… the procession through the streets, speakers and music, meeting vendors from across the country, book signings, dancing, and more. But for me, the most profound was realizing just how far God has carried me in my recovery. From sharing my story in my first book, to partnering with other nonprofits, to now standing alongside the Sober-Now team and meeting so many people touched by addiction. We shared conversations, hugs, prayers, and the hope that we can and do recover.

Years ago I started this journey feeling afraid to recover out loud, telling God I couldn’t do it on my own. He made a way, He sent His people, He gave us the tools and countless opportunities to show up each time and help others know they aren’t alone and there is hope. For that, I give Him all the glory. And I give all of my gratitude to each person who has prayed for our mission, donated their time, shared their talents, or generously given to help us grow hope.

I’m beyond proud of the Sober-Now team and incredibly proud of each person out there who has taken the bold step to surrender into a new way of life, one free from the chains of addiction.

If you are teetering on that line in the sand, afraid or unsure how to let go of the life that no longer serves you and step into a life that promises freedom if you just show up sober, one day at a time… take that step, my friend! It will be the best decision of your life. And if you have already taken that brave step, keep going… I’m proud of you. 💜

Congrats to our good friendAddict with Purpose!!! So proud of you sister! 🙌💯💜

Today I celebrate 9 years of real freedom. ❤️‍🩹

Not perfection.

Not because life suddenly became easy.

Not because I have it all figured out.

Freedom.

Freedom from addiction.

Freedom from incarceration.

Freedom from the shame that convinced me I would never change.

Freedom from the darkness that once consumed every part of my life.

Most of all, freedom that I could never earn on my own. Freedom that came through Jesus Christ.

Nine years ago, I didn’t just stop using drugs and alcohol. I began learning what it meant to truly live. Recovery gave me the chance to rebuild, but Christ gave me a brand new identity.

Today I’m not defined by my worst decisions.

Today I’m a wife.

A mom.

A leader.

A mentor.

A sister.

A daughter.

A friend.

Most importantly, I am a daughter of the Most High God.

Do I still make mistakes? Every single day.

But I no longer wake up in chains. I wake up knowing that I am forgiven, loved, and free.

Today I get to drink my coffee with messy hair.

I get to hug my kids.

I get to go to work and help people who are fighting the same battle I once thought I would lose.

I get to love and be loved.

This life isn’t perfect, but it is more beautiful than I ever dreamed possible.

If you’re still in the middle of addiction today, please hear me:

There is hope.

No matter how dark it feels, your story isn’t over. The same God who changed my life can change yours too.

Today I celebrate 9 years of freedom, and I give all the glory to God.

“So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” — John 8:36 ❤️
