Women over 35 exist, stories about women over 35 should get more attention, can we also appreciate the fact that women over 35 can also be “emerging artists” 👏🏻

Speaking as someone with a drinking problem who did Sober October that led to a No Remember November, I have thoughts on this. I learned nothing the first time I stopped for a month because I didn’t think about *why* I drank. Once I did that, things clicked into place.
idk who needs to hear this….but only alcoholics feel the need to do a “sober October”

Not everyone who drinks has a problem, but if you’re one of those people who say they could never date/socialise/have fun without alcohol, that is something you need to get to the bottom of. Because many, many people can do all of these things sober and *gasp* still have fun.

For @theipaper I wrote about workaholism, burnout and how getting a dog helped me achieve the work-life balance I was sorely lacking.
Just 24 hours after I had an elective hysterectomy in 2021. I was scared not to work; it was all I knew. At that point though, I wasn’t willing to admit that work had become an obsession for me 🖋️ @rentswrites for @ipaperviews trib.al/lIY2oJk

On the eve of #SoberOctober sharing something I wrote about how month-long sobriety challenges can be the booze equivalent of a crash diet and may not be worthwhile, unless you take the time to think about *why* you drink. And before you come for me, know I’m almost 7 years sober
For people who have a problematic relationship with alcohol sobriety isn’t something we can switch on and off; it’s something we have to commit to for the rest of our lives 🖋️ @rentswrites for @ipaperviews trib.al/rF9YPXZ
