In honor of National Recovery Month, I’ve launched a movement called #30DaysofRecovery on Instagram. For 30 days, I’ll be posting daily about my journey in recovery, as well as inspirational tips/resources that have kept me on my path.

My mission behind this project is to inspire others on their own journey and to give my community a taste of what my life in recovery looks like.

For those in recovery, I invite you to join me. Your 30 days can start whenever, so its never too late to join! Or you can just follow my journey @ameliahogecoach. Either way, I can’t wait to dive in with you.

Last week I realized I talk very openly about my sobriety, but I’ve rarely mentioned anything about living with an anxiety disorder. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Although I’ve developed healthier habits/coping skills for my anxiety, my go-to negative response has always looked something like this: smiling through it, pushing away the feelings, keeping myself busy, and pretending I’m okay. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Avoiding/not facing my anxiety has caused it to manifest in more ways: health problems, OCD-tendencies, avoidance of new social situations, and most recently: a panic attack. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This is something I have to address and work on every single day, especially since I live in a very faced-paced, high-energy city. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m not saying all of this to wallow or to ask for sympathy. My hope is that by sharing this, I can help others feel less alone. We are in this together, and we rise by lifting each other up ✨
11:11 has been my sign throughout my journey of recovery. I see it at least once a day…usually more. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When I see 11:11, it serves as a reminder that I am on the right path. No matter what life throws at me, what challenges I face, what changes I have to make, this sign has guided me through it all. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I got this tattoo on my wrist 4 months ago and I added in a semicolon as a reminder that despite everything I’ve been through—suicide attempts, self-harm, addiction, overdoses, relapse—I’m ALIVE, healthy, and sober today 🙏 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Happy 11/11/11 (2+0+1+8)! Who else has a connection to specific numbers/repeating numbers?
After unplugging from social media for a few days to celebrate my birthday, I’m happy to be back with my insta community (missed you guys!) 💗 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thank you to everyone who sent me bday wishes—I’ll be catching up on my DM’s soon! 🤗 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 24 looks good on me... 😍 . . . . #partysober #soberfun #hangoverfree #alcoholfree #birthdaylove #soberliving #soberissexy #sobrietyrocks #wedorecover #odaat
My name is Amelia and I'm a human being living with a disease that is designed to dehumanize and isolate me and millions of Americans from the rest of society. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ❌ Junkie ❌ Addict ❌ User ❌ Abuser ❌ Dope fiend ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Our language matters... And in this current climate, our prejudices and stigmas towards people with substance use disorders could potentially discourage them from asking for help. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My name is Amelia and I'm someone’s friend, someone’s daughter, someone’s sister. I’m a college student, a business owner, a person with big goals and dreams for her life… ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But most of all I’m a person in recovery from heroin addiction, and I believe changing our language has the potential to save a life.
Celebrating 1000 days clean and sober today 🎉 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In the beginning of 2016, I relapsed with nearly 2.5 years sober. Coming back from my relapse took everything in me… but I did it, and I stuck with it. And here I am, 1000 days later… filled with so much gratitude for my life and my recovery today. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thank you Instagram family for inspiring me to stay on this path. I’m so grateful for each and every one of you 🙏
Fear… It can sometimes feel paralyzing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Part of my journey in recovery has been learning to take massive, courageous action, despite how afraid or worried I am of the outcome. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Deep breaths… Leaps of faith. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Because I know the only way to overcome my fears is to face them. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Today I’m committed to taking action despite my fears or self-doubt... even if that means getting uncomfortable and having to do it scared 😬
