Howdy, All!
As the fog in my head started to clear, I fell in love with one of the greatest acts of self-care: cooking. Now that I am sober, I actually care about myself, thus, I care about what I eat. I’ve always loved food; it’s just that when I drank, I loved wine more. For some people, a glass of wine elevates a meal. For me, it was a distraction; all I could think about was when I could pour my next glass. Plus, when I drank, I was a bad (and dangerous) cook.
Reclaim your love of home cooking! I’m far from perfect in the kitchen, but sobriety isn’t about perfection. It’s about waking up each day and hoping that I treat myself and others with respect. One of the best ways to do that is by sharing a meal you lovingly made, even if your plating technique is far from Alex Guarnaschelli’s (hey, girl!)
Much love,
Kimberley
