Eureka O’Hara Instagram – My best friend took this photo, @queenofthehorde ,so I had to share it. I’m 5 months sober today, and I must say that as a transformer in America, it’s much more challenging than you might imagine. But it’s not just that; it’s also facing all of my emotions. While the journey can be tough, I’m present and learning who truly loves me, and re-learning to love myself. I’ve discovered that there are many people who do care and they show up so beautifully.
Sometimes, I can’t help but think horrible things of myself. The guilt and shame of my past, when I was using or making decisions that have resulted in consequences I now have to face in recovery. But I’m so grateful that I get to do things differently now. I’m grateful that my God has continued to give me the strength to push forward every day. I’m grateful for my recovery community, my queer and biological family, and everyone who stands behind me while I continue to live in recovery.
Sometimes, I get hyper-anxious about my career because I feel like I’m going backwards. But the truth is, I’m not. I’m just taking time for myself to truly heal. I know that it’s only going to take time for people to see me as the healed version of myself, and I know that my opportunities will continue to grow as I work hard every day. I just appreciate anyone who’s standing behind me while I continue to live in recovery because it is difficult. No one owes me forgiveness, but me. | Posted on 19/Sep/2025 18:48:53
