Hello 👋 Thanks for stopping by…

Why I Write Here

I spent years in that invisible space between “normal drinker” and “alcoholic.” Knew something was wrong. Wasn’t ready to admit it. Stayed stuck while pretending I had it under control.

When I finally got sober, I realised something crucial: there’s almost no support designed for people like me. The recovery world assumes you’re either fine or in crisis. The gap in between - where most people actually live - goes largely unacknowledged.

My writing and coaching exists for that gap.

What You’ll Find

Real stories. Not recovery narratives. Not inspiration porn. Just honest accounts of what sobriety actually looks like - the messy, non-linear, deeply human parts that rarely make it into the mainstream conversation.

Evidence-based frameworks. I believe in treating people like intelligent adults. That means grounding everything in what actually works, not what’s traditionally prescribed. Psychology, neuroscience, practical tools - all of it serves one purpose: helping you understand yourself better.

No dogma. Sobriety doesn’t require you to adopt a belief system, surrender to a higher power, or fit into someone else’s definition of recovery. Your path is yours. My job is to illuminate the terrain, not prescribe the route.

Conversations that matter. About identity and alcohol. About the gap between how your life looks and how it feels. About privilege and shame and permission. About what becomes possible when you stop fighting yourself.

Who This Is For

If you’ve ever wondered whether your relationship with alcohol is costing more than you’re willing to admit - this is for you.

If you’re stuck between knowing something needs to change and not being ready to change it - you’re not alone, and you’re not broken.

If you want support that respects your intelligence, your autonomy, and your right to figure this out on your own terms - you’re in the right place.

If you’re sober-curious, moderating, building sobriety, or somewhere in between - this space is for you.

Who I Am

I’m a sobriety coach and addiction therapist with eight years of personal recovery and three decades of professional experience. I’ve worked with hundreds of people navigating their relationship with alcohol - from the “I think I might have a problem” phase to the “I’m building the life I actually want” phase.

More importantly, I’ve been where you are. I know what it feels like to be stuck. I know what it feels like when someone finally asks the right question. And I know what becomes possible when you stop treating sobriety as punishment and start treating it as privilege.
