 BIG NEWS! 🚀 Progress is Progress has officially moved to Substack!

I’m honestly so excited to share this with you. After over a year of sharing my story, my struggles, my recovery, and the real, raw side of addiction and mental health right here, I’ve found a new home — and I want you to come with me.

Why Substack? Because it lets me reach you directly, no matter who you are or where you’re at. Whether you’re in recovery, thinking about it, stuck in the cycle, supporting someone who is, working in the field, or just curious about what addiction and recovery really look like, you’ll find something here for you.

Subscriptions are FREE. Free means free — for the everyday person who wants the honest truth about addiction, recovery, and mental health. Whether you’re struggling right now, you’ve tried to get help a thousand times, you’re looking for something different, or you just want a “been there, survived that” perspective from someone who’s BEEN on both sides of the desk (yes, I’m a clinical substance use counselor, but I’m also in recovery myself) — this is for you.

There’s also a paid subscription for anyone who wants to go deeper. That gets you access to more in-depth articles, some pro-level insights, and even the chance for personalized recovery coaching sessions with me. If you’re a counselor, parent, teen, advocate, or just someone who wants to dig in, paid subs will have a lot to love. BUT — and I mean this — if you want paid access and can’t afford it, just reach out to me directly. Money should NEVER be a barrier to help, hope, or knowledge. Ever.

This isn’t a profit thing. This is my passion, my way of giving back, and my attempt to be the person I wish I’d had. Subscriptions help keep the lights on, but this is about helping as many people as possible.

So if you’ve ever found value in my writing, if you’re looking for support, or if you just want to keep following this messy, beautiful, sometimes hilarious recovery journey, please subscribe. Join me at our new home:

progressisprogress.substack.com

Let’s keep making progress together — mile or millimeter, it all counts.

With hope (and a little dark humor),
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...

To the Next Wave—A Letter to the Ones Who’ve Been There

To the Next Wave—A Letter to the Ones Who’ve Been There Let’s be honest: nobody grows up dreaming of becoming a peer support specialist, recovery coach, or harm reduction advocate. Most of us didn’t even dream of surviving. But here we are, standing upright(ish), coffee in hand, and suddenly there’s a new conversation in the field—one that’s about us. Wisconsin’s catching up to what most of us have known for years: people with lived experience are the secret sauce in real recovery work. As of 2025, Medicaid here is rolling out new coverage for peer recovery coach services, which means agencies can finally hire people like you—and bill for your work, not just your war stories. Certified Peer Specialists in Wisconsin (yes, it’s a real title—and you get a certificate and everything) are now recognized professionals using their own histories to walk alongside people still in the trenches. There are even training programs, recertification requirements, and a growing demand for people who “g...

What I Wish My Therapist Knew About Meth: The Truth About Recovery, Cognition, and the Real Work Ahead

  What I Wish My Therapist Knew About Meth: The Truth About Recovery, Cognition, and the Real Work Ahead Let’s get this out of the way: Meth doesn’t just wreck your life; it hijacks your brain, chews up your sense of self, and spits out something you barely recognize. For the folks who’ve never used, or for the “old school” providers still clinging to the Big Book and the 28-day miracle cure, meth is just another addiction. But for those of us who’ve lived it—and for the people trying to treat it now—we know it’s a whole different beast. I’ve been on both sides of this mess: As a person who’s walked into treatment with a brain full of static, and as a clinician watching desperate people try to claw their way out, only to hit the same brick walls over and over. In the world of residential treatment, especially in small clinics (hello, northern Wisconsin), the rules are written by people who haven’t spent a night in their own program. And honestly, it shows. The Meth Crash: Cognitive...
