Hi, I’m Lori!

I spent the first 5 decades of my life believing happiness is a function of how others act. In other words, if “THEY” acted the way “I” thought they should, then I could be happy!

But guess what? The path of emotional sobriety begins with acknowledging and accepting that our happiness is ours and ours alone.

Are you interested in knowing how you can travel this path every day?

You’re in the right place. It’s a transformative way of living — one I discovered through a recovery program shared by a dear friend I serendipitously met on an early morning run. It changed my life, and it can change yours, too.

If you want more joy, peace, and freedom from relying on others, read on.

I often describe myself as a “recovering emotional drunk.” Curious what that means? I can best explain it by sharing an excerpt from my book with Nia, How’s That Working for Ya, Honey? That excerpt is below.

I’m grateful for every twist and turn of this journey — even the “horse.”

Peace,
Lori

What is emotional sobriety, anyway?

Letting Go of the “If Only” Trap
Have you ever caught yourself thinking, “If only they’d change… if only I had this… then I’d be happy”? That’s the cycle of looking for something out there to fix what’s happening inside — a way to escape or numb emotional pain. But happiness is an inside job.

I know this struggle. My search for peace took me on a journey through life’s biggest question: What is standing in the way of my happiness?

Thanks to God and Recovery, I found the solution! Learn about it here.
