Welcome to Sober Step Sister! My name is Annabella, and I am a recovering alcoholic.
Sober Step Sister was born while I was in a treatment center in South Florida—often called the recovery capital of the world. While in residential treatment (the part of the program where you go 28 days without your cell phone), I ordered a few bracelet-making kits online just to keep myself busy. I made an anklet for myself and one of my housemates, and before I knew it, everyone wanted one.
The journals came a little later in my recovery. I was doing an incredible amount of writing in treatment, trying to document everything. I felt like a sponge, soaking up information, and journaling became a way to process the deep discomfort and emotions I was feeling at the time.
A podcast, Uncensored Recovery with #SoberStepSister is coming soon.
I hope you have an amazing day. And if you haven’t had a drink today, thank your higher power.
