WELCOME TO SOBERMOMLIFE

There IS Life After Addiction– My Son and I are Living Proof.

Welcome to SOBERMOMLIFE! I’m so glad you’re here. Hi, my name is Michelle and I’m an alcoholic. My sobriety date is October 8, 2016. You CAN have a beautiful and wonderful SOBER LIFE– but ya gotta be willing to do the fucking work. Is doing the work easy?— No, not all the time— it fucking sucks sometimes, but it’s absolutely worth it. I owe my life to sobriety. I’m so grateful and blessed to have my sweet son– I thank God everyday for him.

This is where shit gets real. I'm raw, honest and transparent. I'll show you how to deal with life’s ups and downs WITHOUT getting drunk over it. Hang out with me and read my 3am thoughts and other random things pertaining to sobriety, mental health and being a single sober mom of a toddler boy. If you're still sucking air, it's not too late to get sober. There IS life after addiction– my son and I are living proof. Oh, and being a fucking badass– because that's important, too.

my story

On March 17, 2017 at 11:11pm, I found out I was pregnant with my son– my first child. And on that same night, around 9:50pm, my son's father (my fiance) died from a Fentanyl overdose. My son's dad died before knowing he was going to be a father, but I know he knows now. Still, it's not the same. Recovering is everything to me– I wouldn’t have my sweet son if I weren’t sober.

I know for a FACT that if I hadn’t been pregnant the night I found out my son’s father had died, I would have relapsed/drank and died within days.

God saved me that night on March 17th, 2017. He wanted something so much better for me– I was to be a mom to my beautiful son. My faith in God was restored that night— there was no denying God anymore. My son, Donnie, is truly my miracle baby.
