Hi, I’m Bree Peterson, and I created My Recovery Blog to help people navigate recovery with practical tools, inspiration, and real-life guidance.

Here, you’ll find evidence-based strategies, recovery lifestyle tips, inspiring stories, and resources to support your journey—one day at a time.

I’m a grateful recovering addict. By the way, I differentiate between my “quit date” and “recovery date”. Quite date, for me, is the day I decided to fully quit and embrace recovery. This date is very special to me. My “recovery date”, which is what most people go by, is the last time that I used my drug of choice.

Anyway, this blog is a small piece of my recovery. Or, maybe a big piece. It’s something I built to stay grounded, give back, and gopefully help someone else who’s in recovery and walking a similar path.

Recovery didn’t come perfectly for me. It came messy, uncomfortable, awkward, etc. and full of moments where I wasn’t sure I could keep going. But I did. And over time, things started to change. Everything started to get better – my mindset, my habits, and the way I live my life. I attribute a lot of this to NA.

Why I Started This Blog

When I first got sober, I was constantly searching for real, practical advice. I wanted to hear things that actually helped in everyday life. Not just inspiration, but tools.

What do you do when cravings hit out of nowhere?
How do you rebuild your routine?
What actually helps in early sobriety?

This blog is my answer to those questions.

I share:

  • Things that have helped me stay sober
  • Simple habits that make recovery easier
  • Honest thoughts about the ups and downs
  • Products and tools I genuinely find useful

What You’ll Find Here

This blog focuses on real-life recovery. Nothing complicated. Nothing fake.

You’ll find posts about:

  • Coping with cravings
  • Building better daily habits
  • Finding support and staying accountable
  • Early sobriety essentials
  • Small things that make a big difference

Some posts include product recommendations (like sobriety coins, holders, or everyday tools). If I share something, it’s because I actually think it’s useful – not just to sell something.

My Approach to Recovery

I keep things simple:

  • One day at a time
  • Stay honest
  • Keep showing up
  • Don’t overcomplicate it

Recovery isn’t about doing everything perfectly. It’s about not giving up.

If You’re New Here

If you’re early in recovery, struggling, or even just thinking about getting sober… you’re not alone.

Seriously.

You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need to keep going.
