Real Talk: You're Your Own Chaos Coordinator

 



Real Talk: You're Your Own Chaos Coordinator 🎭

Let's get brutally honest here (because that's what we do best, right?). Everyone's walking around saying "OMG, my mother-in-law is driving me crazy" or "This job is killing me!" Meanwhile, I'm sitting here thinking... hold up.

You know what's actually happening? We're basically volunteering to be everyone's emotional punching bag. Plot twist: we're the ones throwing the punches at ourselves. 😅

Quick reality check:

  • That coworker who "makes your blood boil"? They're just existing. You're the one doing the internal screaming.
  • The holidays that "stress you out"? They're just dates on a calendar. You're the one turning them into your personal horror movie.
  • That person at the grocery store who "ruined your day"? Honey, you handed them that power like a free sample.

Listen, I get it. Life isn't all sunshine and rainbow-colored unicorns pooping glitter. Sometimes it's more like a dumpster fire that you're trying to put out with a water gun. But here's the thing – you're the one holding the matches AND the water gun. 🔥

So next time you're about to blame Karen from accounting for your stress-eating rampage or your PO for your blood pressure spike, remember: You're not a puppet, you're the puppet master of your own circus.

The good news? This means you've got the power. The bad news? This means you've got the responsibility. (Yeah, I know, responsibility – everyone's favorite word, right up there with "tax audit" and "family reunion.")

Take it from someone who's been there: Once you realize you're the DJ of your own mental radio station, you can finally change the channel from "Everything Is Awful FM" to "Actually, I Got This Radio."

And hey, if you're reading this thinking "This person doesn't understand MY situation," I see you. I hear you. But also... prove me wrong. 😏   -Belle-

I'm an Addict and I'm Not Sorry

I'm an Addict and I'm Not Sorry Let's get real for a second. If you're reading this, chances are you or someone you love has been through the wringer of addiction. And if that's the case, you know that the worst part isn't the withdrawals, the failed relationships, or those awful, gut-wrenching moments of clarity on the bathroom floor. It's the shame. Oh, the shame. It's like someone poured gasoline all over your soul and lit a match. Well, I'm here to tell you something: fuck the shame. No, really. Fuck it right in the ear. You don't need that kind of toxic garbage holding you back anymore. I'm not going to sugarcoat it. I'm an addict. I've done some bad shit. I've lied, I've stolen, I've woken up in strange places with even stranger people. But you know what? I'm still a person. I'm still a person who deserves to be happy, to love and be loved, to leave something better than I found it. Look, you can't change...

My Journey, My Voice: Sharing My Truth About Addiction and Recovery

  My Journey, My Voice: Sharing My Truth About Addiction and Recovery I'm a wife, a mom, a sister, a daughter, a coworker, a friend, an auntie – and I'm in recovery. I'm also a substance abuse counselor, which means I've seen the journey of addiction and recovery from both sides. My blog is my way of sharing my unique perspective, my struggles, and my triumphs. It's about being real, breaking down stigma, and connecting with others who understand this challenging, rewarding path. Recovery isn't easy. Some days, it feels like an uphill battle. I've been the "loser," the one who felt uncool, unworthy. Self-doubt and abandonment issues are still things I work to overcome. But here's the important part: I'm not perfect, and I never will be. But I will never stop growing, either. Every time I hit publish on a blog post, it's a victory. It's me saying, "I'm not ashamed of my story." It's me using my voice to help others ...

Ok, I am sober... Now who the Hell am I?

  Recovery: The Journey to Rediscover Ourselves Recovery is not just a word; it's a mosaic of personal stories, each tile reflecting the light of hope and resilience. As a former addict turned substance use disorder counselor, I have navigated the tumultuous seas of addiction and now anchor others as they set sail towards the shores of sobriety. Why do we seek recovery? The reasons are as varied as the individuals asking themselves this profound question. For some, it is the pursuit of health, for others, the mending of relationships torn asunder by the tempest of dependency. We embark on this journey because something precious has been lost to us – peace, self-worth, or perhaps the very essence of who we are. At its core, recovery is about discovery. It's a quest to reclaim what was taken from us and to unearth the treasures we've always held within. It's not just about abstaining from a substance; it's about embracing life in its fullest expression. It's ab...
