I came into recovery through the 12-step path after years of struggling with alcohol, and the fellowship gave me the structure and community I desperately needed. Through decades of working the steps and sponsoring others, I’ve learned that lasting recovery combines spiritual principles with practical strategies for examining our thoughts and changing our behavior. I write for people who are trying again—intelligent, capable individuals who need recovery to make sense and offer real tools rather than empty platitudes.

I got sober carrying more than just a drinking problem – I was carrying unspoken trauma, shame, and the exhaustion of holding everything together while falling apart inside.

As a Latina single mother of two and survivor, I found recovery through the 12-step path, though finding my place as a woman of color took time. Working the steps meant facing trauma I’d spent years avoiding and learning that healing requires both spiritual recovery and professional support. I sponsor women who carry similar burdens, helping them understand that both truths matter.

My sobriety is the foundation for my healing, my motherhood, and my voice – and I protect it fiercely.

After struggling with alcohol and drugs through high school and college, I got clean and sober. This meant confronting everything I’d been running from – my identity, my fears, and the pressure to be perfect.

As a Asian woman, I’ve worked to find my place in recovery communities that don’t always reflect my experience.

I’m passionate about advocating for women’s rights and LGBTQ+ equality, creating space for people who need to see themselves in these rooms.

My sobriety taught me to show up authentically in every part of my life, to speak honestly about who I am, and to build a foundation that honors my personal values rather than borrowed expectations.
