4 Years Sober

“Sunsets are proof that no matter what happens, every day can end beautifully” – Kristen B.

Wow! These past four years of recovery have been intense and wonderful and difficult and also so very beautiful. Here’s some things that I’ve done since 12.9.17 (that I couldn’t have done without my sobriety). ✨

  1. Left an abusive relationship (3 years ago)
  2. Traveled to several national parks (17 this year) with the hopes to travel to many more
  3. Lived in 4 different states (and at a national park)
  4. Created a blog (this blog) with some of my experiences traveling and with ED recovery
  5. Ran a half marathon
  6. Sought treatment for my eating disorder (went to residential twice)
  7. Graduated College with a B.S in Communications & Behavioral Science
  8. Attempted a thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail (then covid hit and closed down the trail).
  9. Thought myself how to Boulder (and I love it)
  10. Made it 4 years sober (one day at a time).
