This is a reading of my Fifth Sober Gay Guy Blog post Dated November 29th, 2020. After more than 100 days of sobriety, the best way I can explain it is that my brain cells responsible for some of my youngest memories began to heal and my memories were resurfacing. These memories and feelings were the beginning of what started a now solid relationship with my accountability practice. I hope these Blog readings bring you the same clarity they have brought me.  Follow me on Instagram: instagram.com/sobergayguy Follow me on Facebook: Facebook.com/sobergayguy Follow me on TikTok: tiktok@sobergayguy Follow my Blog: www.sobergayguy.com  E mail me: sobergayguy@gmail.com  Anchor: Support my Podcast Need to talk it out? 630.546.5670  Sober Gay Guy Music By: Adam Moyer --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sobergayguy/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sobergayguy/support

I'm thrilled for you all to meet my dear friend and the first person I turned to when I decided to quit drinking. I knew she had battled alcohol and drugs and won and I also knew she had transformed her life since. She is an incredible human and you're going to love listening to her story. Attorney turned Life Coach, Sara Goggin Young understands life's struggles and that it can be hard, we all face challenges. But we can do hard things. “Over the past two decades, I've had many life challenges including 6 knee surgeries, gaining 50 pounds, addiction (sober since 2004!), and divorce. I chose to quiet the external noise to work on myself. I started fueling myself with premium nutrition, strengthening my body through fitness, and shifting my internal dialogue to regain my Power To Believe™ in myself. And that led to believing I can achieve anything.” Sober Gay Guy Links  Support Sober Gay Guy  Sara Goggin Young --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/sobergayguy/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/sobergayguy/support

I can't wait for you all to listen in on my chat with my friend.  I love talking to interesting and smart humans and Stella Jones does not disappoint!  Through pain and sorrow she found her voice and these stories with many more to come in the near future!  It's my honor to introduce you to Author Stella Jones in her own words;  I am a wife, mom, plastic surgeon and author. Some time ago I suffered a major professional blow and was diagnosed with MS.  My imagination and writing became my lifeline and refuge. Stella Jones and ‘A Human Story' are the fruit of all of that suffering. I have had many triumphs and joy in my life. But those lulls??? Those valleys??? The crushing blows to our egos that send us into hiding and despair???? That's where this book and the entity known as ‘Stella Jones' really saved me.  Out of much pain, growth and forced evolution spawned a desire, maybe even a necessity, for me to create this vast parallel universe and express myself through written word. Welcome Stella Jones, who has helped me nurse wounds, be silly, conquer fears and divulge things about myself and those around me, that I wasn't even aware of until the stories were done and the secrets out for all of the world to see. Everyone has a voice that speaks to them, mine just happens to be Stella Jones.
