Today I have ten years clean and sober.

Ten years of shifting, screaming, cleaning, laughing, crying, changing, dealing, unveiling, processing, living…ten years of it all the good and the bad.

Ten years without the reliance on a mind or mood altering substance to deal with life on life’s terms.

Ten years of brutal honesty and rebuilding of self.

Ten years of gaining back trust of those I injured during the previous ten years.

I have heard from many people that are interested in purchasing the book for friends, family and loved ones for the holidays. You can pre-order the book and it should arrive towards the end of January or early February. Disregard what Amazon says about March…it will get there much sooner than that. You can print off this postcard to put in a card or in someone’s stocking so they know you purchased the book for them! Download: Postcard for the Holidays!

Thank you again for your support!

First and foremost, THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for going online to Amazon and pre-ordering your copy of Blackout Girl! You have no idea how much it means to me that you support what I am doing. The pre-sales thus far have blown my publisher away! In fact, they said they have never seen a book sell so well in pre-sales, so that is exciting! It may also push them to put me on an official book tour!!! Which is exactly what I want them to do, so again, THANK YOU! When I see you, and I will see you all soon, I will sign your copy special for pre-ordering online. Please pass the link onto everyone you know who you think could benefit from the story. Read On

Wow things just keep happening and it is all so incredibly exciting. I finished copy editing and just signed off on the first copy of the layout and page design–which I have to say look AMAZING. I think you are going to love what the pages look like! So next week we will start sending out review copies…that will be a little nerve racking. I know I just need to let go and let god, but I am human and of course I care what people think of this book. I have no control over what people say. I just hope it resonates with people, in my heart, I truly believe it will. I believe-as corny as this is going to sound-that all of this happened for a reason, that my rough beginnings were a training ground for this very experience. To carry the message to those that are still sick and suffering in this way is such a gift. I am incredibly humbled. Read On

The webpage is finally live. Please bare with us while we work out a couple common glitches! Otherwise, every page should work fine and please feel free to share the page with your friends! I will be blogging on here frequently to update you on the book progress and eventually to take you on tour with me as I hope to travel to various locations upon the launch of the book. Today I gave my first lecture at the Pro-A conference, a statewide recovery conference here in Pennsylvania. It was exhilarating and really hit home with me how much I want to share my message with others. I do hope it is the first of many to come!

So today I got my book cover. It is so more real to me in this moment that I can express that I am about to have a book published. A book of my life no less! I am about to completely have my whole being lay naked before the world. I have had more emotions running through me this week that I can articulate and describe. I feel like if I were back in therapy and they showed me that emotions chart and told me to circle how I felt, I would circle the entire poster.

I have been quite the bear this week. Being the good addict that I am; I do not have large quantities of patience nor do I like to sit around and wait for anything. The old adage, I want what I want when I want; it is ringing very true for me. I have to just take a step back and let go of this process. I know it is in good hands and that my path is being carefully laid out before me, I just need to put one foot in front of the other and follow it. Instead, I want to redirect, insert my will, and stomp all over it like a little kid throwing a tantrum.

I had my photo shoot today which was quite an odd feeling. I really had a blast and felt more comfortable in front of a camera that I had imagined. It’s an odd dance that my ego and my humility did while posing for pictures. In some moments I beamed and felt on top of the world and other times I felt completely barren and undeserving. Funny how we have such a hard time allowing ourselves to feel good and deserving of certain things.
