Missi Pyle

Missi Pyle Instagram – Today I celebrate 1 year off of booze. Off of the special sauce. The mommy juice. No hangovers. More sleep. Remembering in detail what the night was like before I fell asleep. Feeling feelings I didn’t want to feel because they were scary and getting through it just a teeny bit taller. Getting diagnosed with adhd and thinking huh… maybe there’s a better way to cope with it than 2-? Drinks to fall asleep. Having fun. Laughing til my ribs ache without alcohol. And yes. Sometimes being bored and just going to bed. Sleeping through the fomo. Singing and performing live at night without a drink. Listening to my daughter being more present with her. Even when she yells at me, without taking the edge off. Being on the edge. And feeling the feelings. Knowing they would pass. Learning to like being present (most of the time) and not needing to hide from it. Sometimes pausing before I react and even, very often, consulting a higher power to guide me through all the shenanigans of my life and not being mad about it. Reaching out to other non drinking humans and being amazed at how many there are out there. And how willing they are to hear my deep dark scary truth and hold my hand and just listen. It all started with @elizaaclarkw telling me she had 16 days and me thinking wow. If she can do it. I can. Ahhh. I love you friend. thank you for being my trudging buddy and to all you sexy sober (and non sober) friends who’ve guided me and held me up ODAAT. OMG #FREEDOM and to anyone out there who wants to chat. Call Eliza. Just kidding. Send me a note. I’m here 4 U 🍀🍄🦄🎂🧚🏽‍♂️⭐️🌈🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂 | Posted on 10/Aug/2023 01:07:00
