My Journey: From Darkness to Light: A Story of Strength, Sobriety, and Purpose

For years, I was a functioning alcoholic. On the outside, I held everything together, my family, my home, my responsibilities. But inside, I was crumbling. Alcohol became my escape, my crutch, and my way of numbing the stress and exhaustion that came with motherhood and life’s relentless pressures. I told myself that as long as I was showing up for my family, I was fine. But deep down, I knew the truth: I had a problem, and I had lost myself.  

My children have always been my world, and one day, I realized I wasn’t being the mom they deserved. I didn’t want them to grow up remembering a mother who was only half present, clouded by alcohol. I wanted them to see a woman who could rise, rebuild, and reclaim her life.  

So, I did the hardest thing I’ve ever done. I quit drinking.  

It was brutal. The cravings, the self-doubt, the battle within my own mind, it tested every ounce of my strength. But with every day of sobriety, I began to see life more clearly. I saw how much I had been missing, how much I was capable of, and, most importantly, how much I still had to give.  

Sobriety didn’t just change my relationship with alcohol, it transformed my entire way of living. As I started taking care of my body, I lost 53 pounds and became deeply aware of what I was putting into it. Not just alcohol, but processed, chemical-laced foods and toxic cleaning products that filled my home. I realized that true wellness isn’t just about quitting one bad habit, it’s about embracing a completely new way of life.  

That realization led me to where I am today, passionate, purposeful, and on a mission to help other moms take control of their health and wellness. I founded Pure and Simple Mommy to share everything I’ve learned about clean eating, non-toxic living, and the truth about alcohol.  

I want to show other women, especially moms that it’s never too late to change. You can break free, heal, and create a life you’re proud of. Because if I can do it, I know you can too.  

This is my journey. This is my purpose. I truly believe that everything happens for a reason. My struggles have shaped me, my challenges have strengthened me, and my growth is proof that transformation is possible.  

I am not defined by my past, I am empowered by it. Every step I’ve taken has led me to this moment, and now, I’m using my experience to help others step into their own power.  

If my story resonates with you, I’d love for you to join me on this journey. Follow Pure and Simple Mommy for tips on clean living, non-toxic home products, and the truth about alcohol. Let’s support each other and create healthier, more intentional lives one mindful choice at a time.
