With me and my boyfriend starting a landscaping company recently, I’ve been super busy with running that and I’ve been struggling to find time to create content for my recovery page.
I’m finally putting my passion and dreams into action and I’m so proud of myself and will keep pursuing it no matter what... this page has given me a lot of confidence to believe in myself and keep going. I am worthy, you are worthy!! Stay true, queens and follow your dreams. You’re capable of so much, you just gotta dream, plan and DO!!! Get it, gurrrl!! 👑♥️
Been waiting a while to post this gem... not sure why but here we go. This is just a tiny tidbit about the start of my recovery.
Stay tuned for more down the road!! Make sure to like/share, step out of your comfort zone and comment what led you to your recovery! Remember, you’re worthy, I’m worthy! Stay true, queens!! 👑♥️
In my active addiction, I thought I knew my body and what/how it was feeling but in reality I didn’t fully. I was trying to shut out the warnings and signs that I needed to deal with something because I was too afraid to deal with the traumas head on.
What my body and mind were trying to do was call out for help, yelling at me to listen and to deal with the traumas... I thought pushing it down and ignoring it would just make it go away but it made it worse, obviously. My drinking was a result of that.
I’m getting better at recognizing when my body is warning me as opposed to when it’s just my anxiety/irrational thinking happening. I recognize the signs, my body is giving me, more now but still struggling to fully trust myself and listen. I play a Jock Jams song in my head to pump myself up but it doesn’t always pay off...
Don’t forget to hit that “♥️” and leave comment on what you found that works for you when it comes to trusting and listening to your body and mind? I am worthy and you are worthy. Stay true, queens! 👑♥️
One of my favourite things about being sober is the fact that I remember the new memories that I’m making and not being embarrassed about how much I drank or deleting pictures cuz I wasn’t sober in any.
The memories I have now are still clear in my mind and I am so grateful for that. I am grateful I no longer argue with people because they remember things I didn’t, due to intoxication.
All that shame I used to carry doesn’t exist anymore and I give that a “f**k ya”!!! I can’t wait to see what new and exciting memories are coming my way!!
Hit that “♥️” and let me know how you feel about sober memories. I am worthy, you are worthy!! Stay true, queens!! 👑♥️
Retraining my brain from negative to positive has been one of the most challenging things I’ve ever had to do... and I’m by no means a master, yet 😉.
I struggle with this everyday of my life. Even though I feel I’ve made progress, I know I can do better. I’m just too hard on myself... then fear sinks in and I’m a mess which takes my focus off of what’s really important.
“Stay focused, keep your eye on the prize and always believe in yourself.” That’s what I try to tell myself...
One day I’ll be at a point where I’ll forget what it was even like to think the way I do now. We’re all worth it. Stay true, queens!!!

It is soooo important to be assertive, as I’ve explained above. I have been and still am trying to perfect this.
There are times where I don’t and it always ends up blowing up in my face and hurting the people around me (which is the last thing I want to do) but as long as I keep myself focused, remember to control my emotions I know I’ll only get better at it.
One day at a time! I am worthy, you are worthy! Stay true, queens!! 👑

Wow... amaze balls!! 100 followers may not seem like much to some but for me this is huge. I’m proud that I haven’t given up on myself and that I stayed focused, even when I was feeling like garbage.
This page has been quite therapeutic for me and creating content for it helps ground me and get it all out. There’s been posts I’ve posted that make me squeal with excitement, cried with sadness and laughed at even at... I now know this is one of my purposes in life and I can’t wait to see what the future brings for this page and my recovery.
Your support and love means the world to me and I can’t wait to meet some new amazing people. Thank you very very much you beautiful souls I couldn’t have done it without you 🤪!! Remember, I am worthy you are worthy! Stay true, queens!! 👑
Seriously, you’re dope af and no one can tell you otherwise. Hold your head up high and carry yourself like the queen that you are!!
Energy is transfered from person to person and your body will tell you when that energy is toxic or good. Feel the negative energy in your bones... then respect yourself and remove yourself from the situation.
We are in control of ourselves and only we can control what we surround ourselves with. Make the right choice for yourself and mental health. I am worthy, you are worthy!! Stay true, queens!! 👑

Back in the summer of 2019, I was blessed enough to attend my cousins wedding in France. It was such an amazing trip, the trip of many firsts for me. First time exploring Paris on my own, first time attending a wedding in Europe, first wedding and trip I’ve been on since starting my journey in recovery.
It was definitely a trip that tested my strength and I passed the test. If it wasn’t for the fact that I was in France and the fact that my auntie was there for me, I can bet some money that it wouldn’t have ended well for me.
The day of the wedding I got into an argument with a family member and my auntie took me for a walk. We chatted, I cried and she made me laugh but it wasn’t until we made it to a the top of a hill (shown in pic #2) that we climbed, and what she said (pic #1) that I truly felt at peace. It’s something that I will never forget, it’s a huge part of my recovery now and I’m so grateful for this moment.
If you’re struggling maybe give this a try and if it’s not for you that’s okay, thank you for reading my post to the end! We are worthy of so much especially peace. Stay true, queens!! 👑
There’s so much truth to this... For me, it just seemed like the best way I knew at the time for me to hide my traumas.
It was something that I saw as socially acceptable and it made me “feel good”. We all know it never did any good... alcohol made me mean and not so fun to be around especially when I got to my black out states.
Everyday I choose to be sober, everyday I choose to stay healthy and more mindful and everyday I choose to live my life without alcohol telling me what to do. I am worthy, you are worthy. Stay true queens!! 👑
Like and follow!! You won’t be disappointed 🤪♥️👑
Queen, you’ve fu***ng got this!!! No matter what you are still so damn worthy. Take a break, breathe and straighten that beautiful crown of yours and keep going. You’re the only one standing in the way of your own success. Stay true, queens!!!
Follow follow follow!!! And don’t forget to his the “♥️” you beautiful sober beauties!!
Good morning, It’s a beautiful day in Calgary!! What a better way to start my day than with my son and a fresh cup of coffee. Make sure to stay hydrated when drinking coffee and try to stop or switch to decaf after 2pm!! Have an amazing day, beauties!! One day at a time. Stay true, queens!! 👑

It’s so important to eat right in our recovery, not just for our bodies but our minds as well.
Food is fuel for our brains and we especially need to eat right so our body can function properly and our mind can heal faster. Listen to your body and trust your body because it will tell you when you’re missing what you need.
I hope you enjoyed reading my post this morning! Remember, I am worthy and you are worthy. Stay true, queens 👑!!!
Betrayed by my own self... Thrown under the bus by my own self... I’m disappointed in how horrible I used to talk to myself in my active addiction.
I was so horrible I allowed myself to believe that’s how I should let others treat me. Today, I’m still getting the hang of self affirmations and trying to show compassion to myself but back then I was pretty nasty to myself.
Something that hit me so hard when I was in treatment was when my counsellor said “would you talk to your friends the way you talk to yourself?” My response was “hell no I wouldn’t, that would be horrible” her response “then why do you talk to yourself like that?” 🤔 hmmm, good question... I never thought of it that way but it’s something I won’t forget. So, to the girl I once was... I forgive you.
Go easy on yourself, give yourself a break and always remind yourself that you’re trying your best. We need to look out for #1, ourselves, because I am worthy and you are worthy! Stay true, queens!! 👑 Don’t forget to hit that “♥️” and share the love!
You had to live through those experiences in order to get to where you are today. To get to your freedom, you had to live who you weren’t to know who you are.” If any of you find yourself feeling alone or don’t have anyone to talk to, I’m here and only a message away. We’re not in this alone and never have to be. You’re worthy, I’m worthy!! Stay true, queens!!

Relapsing, it’s so real it’s scary... it could happen to anyone of us at any anytime.
I personally have not relapsed but I know how real it is and it’s something I think about constantly (not obsessively) but it’s something I think about to snap me back to reality when I get a little lazy/cocky in my recovery.... I tell myself that I’m still human, I will make mistakes and that when I fall it’s okay but I have to process it properly, figure what went wrong and get my ass back up and keep going.
Remember, I am worthy and you are worthy. Stay true, queens!! 👑

Sobriety is not a trend but a daily battle for the rest of our lives... I don’t do it for the “likes”, I do it for me... I don’t do it for the attention, I do it for my health... I don’t do it for the clout, I do it for mine and my sons future. Everything I do in my recovery is for the betterment of me and that will never change.
It’s possible I could relapse and that’s on my mind a lot, but my goal is to level up, succeed in every aspect of my life, and empower others to want to better/keep bettering their lives. In order for me to do so I have a list of things I do and don’t do, when it comes to self-nurturing, and I’d like to share them with you today.
One day at a time, queens!! Stay true! Don’t forget to hit that “♥️” and drop a “👑” in the comments if you agree!
Everyday I try hard to think about this because even still I find it hard to just live in the moment and enjoy what I have. I feel like now that I have all the “extra” time, time I wasted while drinking, to get things done it’s like I’m making up for lost time but not stopping and smelling the flowers.
I tell myself to breathe and be where I am. It helps me relax when I’m feeling overwhelmed in those moments. I’m working on it and progressing everyday and proud of where I’m at right now. Remember, live in the moment because I am worthy and you are worthy. Stay true, queens!! 👑

Times are tough enough right now as it is with COVID, let alone coping with it without the drugs and alcohol like we were once so used to doing. Times like these call for extra strength, extra compassion to ourselves and extra care in how we cope whether it be a job loss, breakup, or even quitting drinking during this mess of a virus.
Coping is so important because it helps ground us, keeps us safe and once we beat the urges it gives us more strength and hope to keep going. How amazing it’s going to be when the world goes back to “normal” that we will be able to say “I made it through the virus and stayed sober while doing it.”
Times are tough but we’re tougher, we’ve fu***ng got this!! Remember, I am worthy, you are worthy! Stay true queens!!

Embrace the dark side... we have cookies!! No really, your dark side, because our light side cannot exist without it. Most of us know the Yin & Yang symbol ☯️ but what does it actually stand for? While it has a few meanings (young/old, feminine/masculine, light/dark) In this case, I’m going to explain the light/dark aspect of it. We all have a light side and a dark side.
Lightside- Self-transcendence and personal growth, compliments the dark side ... Darkside- Subconscious beliefs, determines your experience of life, part of your journey to self love, energy blockages. It is important not to ignore the dark side in us because it functions optimally when you are unaware of it. Pushing away our dark side will get us nowhere, without understanding our dark side we cannot grow and cannot achieve our highest potential.

“I strongly believe the saying “It takes a community, to raise a child” is so true... and not just when it comes to kids but also people who are in recovery.
When I was in treatment they would always say to us, “the opposite of addiction is connection” and that hit me hard... we need to reach out when times are rough, when we get urges or just need someone to listen to us because to me, the opposite of connection is addiction.
The help of our loved ones and community, with the support and encouragement to never give up on our journey, is so important and if any of you find yourself feeling alone or don’t have anyone to talk to, I’m here and only a message away. We’re not in this alone and never have to be. You’re worthy, I’m worthy!! Stay true, Queens!!

⚠️Possible Trigger Warning ⚠️
I think it’s important to realize you can miss something and not want it back - Paulo Coelho It took me 3 days to complete this letter and a lot of tears came along with it. At the time, I was saying goodbye to the person that I no longer was. There wasn’t just anger and sadness but also grief... yes, grief.
My inner addict tried to protect me when I didn’t know how to myself and that was something that was hard to say goodbye to. I am grateful and thankful for my inner addict because I’m proud of where and who I am today because of her. If it wasn’t for my inner addict, I would have never challenged myself as much as I have in my recovery and I wouldn’t be here sharing my experiences, strengths and hopes with you today.
Thank you for taking the time to listen, getting a little more intimate with me and for your patience. I am worthy, you are worthy. Stay true, queens!! 👑

Self-nurturing is something we all should have been taught as kids. I believe it should be something that they teach in school and it should be encouraged on a daily. I can honestly say I didn’t know what it fully meant until I went to treatment. It seemed foreign to me and at the time I didn’t think I deserved to be happy (silly right?!)... I didn’t think very highly of myself and it showed. Even though I don’t think that way anymore, I do still find myself putting other people’s needs before mine and it burns me out. I try everyday to feed my needs first then help the ones I love but that doesn’t always happen. I take more time for myself now, I feel a lot more connected to myself and actually crave my alone time now without any guilt (AS IT SHOULD BE!!). Take care of yourself, queens and never forget that you are worthy and I am worthy. Stay true ♥️👑
