A Redhead's Journey to Recovery

Why start a blog?

This blog is about my journey to sobriety. It’s early days and there are moments of clarity and determination where the destination feels within reach. But there are also times of doubt and temptation, where the urge to turn back or seek refuge in familiar habits is strong. There are tears and laughs and feelings of defeat and pride. So many emotions. My hope in writing this blog is to connect with others on a similar path so we may journey together and gain strength and support from each other.

What do sobriety and redheads have in common? Both are associated with determination and strength. Red hair is often associated with fiery personalities and strong wills. Maybe also at times a tad stubborn. Check. Check. And check. God knows patience is not one of my better virtues. So this is gonna be really hard. It’s a journey of self-discovery, navigating through turbulent emotions, rocky terrains, and unpredictable weather. I’m going to do this with a mix of humour and humility. Light heartedness musings and solemn reflections. The good, the bad, and the ugly. Unfiltered.
