Stephanie Starts Over

Was a Twitter lurker for years; new account to become an engager. Middle aged woman finding myself for the first time and loving the journey.

@janjowen @carrieehowell The most frustrating one for ke is intimation or outright saying I'd look more professional if I dyed my hair.

@janjowen @carrieehowell We definitely need a term. I'm 50 the end of the month, I've been going grey since 19. And I've heard it all. 🙄

@PBRecovery Self respect and a future

@LiveSober80 I explained I didn't want to cross boundaries between the rooms and my private life. People were really understanding.

[Stephanie Starts Over @Stephj1129]

@LyndsayLou81 She is, and it's amazing. ❤️

[Stephanie Starts Over @Stephj1129]

@LyndsayLou81 When I woke up with my 19yr old daughter at my house (instead of in her dorm) asking me if I knew what I did and said the night before. I did not. And couldn't keep doing that to her.

This aren’t many things that can only be done just one way.

Recovery is one of those things that no two recovery journeys look the same.

Don’t be afraid to add your spices to yours

@Dr_Celine_ @thesoberheathen In my experience, dealing with trauma/underlying issues is an important part of staying sober. Best of luck to you.

You are worth it! You are worth Sobriety, you are more than your past. You are worth transformation, you are not who you were. You are worth feeling the light, you are worth leaving the darkness. You are worth renewal, you are not who you were. ☀️

@CarlosHappyNPO I was a stranger, and you ...... murdered me

[Stephanie Starts Over @Stephj1129]

@kellywellread Haha, for me that's a sorry, not sorry situation! Because I'm generally not sorry when I'm recharging.

[Stephanie Starts Over @Stephj1129]

@kneadtotalk Yes! My 3 are in their 20s, and it's so vital. Decisions have much different consequences now than when they're 10.

@mattnightingale Who the he'll wants to be a teenager again?? Give me the money!!

[Stephanie Starts Over @Stephj1129]

@janjowen I can't believe a God of love would torment people forever. I can't believe in hell; I'm not sure about heaven/the afterlife either. What I know is living love right now. Bringing the kingdom of God -- love, justice, mercy right now. And that's enough for me.

@dianabutlerbass Beautiful!! Thank you for sharing.

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

I’m forever proud of our #USWNT. This team will come back better and stronger, because that’s what American women do. 💚⚽️🇺🇸

[Stephanie Starts Over @Stephj1129]

@janjowen Same!! After being told for years to color it, now people want to know where I got it done!!

@RevJesKast For me, I found in AA not only sobriety but the acceptance that churches should have. There's a non-religious holiness there.
