Wanna Know More About Me?

Belinda (Belle) Morey: Minocqua, Wisconsin; I'm Belinda. Plot twist: I'm both a recovering addict AND a substance use disorder clinician. If you'd told me years ago I'd be where I am today, I would've laughed so hard I might've fallen off my barstool. But here we are, and somehow life turned out way better than any high I chased back in the day. I started this blog because we need to cut through all the BS around addiction and recovery. There's enough shame and stigma out there, and I'm pretty much done with it. It's time to get uncomfortable and talk about the stuff nobody wants to talk about. The messy parts. The real parts. Home-wise, I'm living my best chaos in northern Wisconsin with my incredible partner (our family's human rock), two amazing boys (one rocking the autism spectrum), a weirdly lovable dog named Baby Dog, and a cat named Steve. While our neck of the woods is postcard-pretty, we're not immune to the addiction crisis. This blog? It's going to be honest. Sometimes painfully so. Sometimes funny (because if we can't laugh at the darkness, what's the point?). Always real. Welcome to my corner of the internet, where recovery meets reality, and we don't sugarcoat a damn thing.

So what is the blog about anyway?

My blog is a humble collection of thoughts and stories, aimed at shedding light on the personal and professional aspects of addiction and recovery. As a counselor who has personally navigated these waters, I offer my insights with the hope of providing comfort and understanding. Through my posts, I share not just the clinical side of addiction and recovery but also the deeply human experiences that accompany this journey. It is a place for those seeking knowledge, connection, and a sense of community in the face of such challenges. I believe in the power of shared stories and experiences to educate and inspire. This blog is my way of offering support and understanding to anyone touched by addiction—whether it's personal or through a loved one. It's an invitation to join a conversation that respects and empathizes with the complex path of recovery. So, if you're looking for a space that combines professional counseling insights with real-life experiences of addiction and recovery, I welcome you to read my blog. It's a resource for anyone seeking guidance, hope, or simply a deeper understanding of these issues that touch so many lives.
