My name is Mariah, I'm a 28-year-old university graduate, wife, and stay at home mom of two. I started mariahkrystal.com because of my love for writing and sharing with others online. You might leave here crying, laughing, or inspired. Either way, I hope you get something out of coming here. Writing is my favorite form of expression, after all, so let’s talk about it!

I turned 29 on 11/16 and celebrated one month of s I turned 29 on 11/16 and celebrated one month of sobriety on 11/18. Thank you GOD. It’s been heavy on my heart to speak about gratitude and blessings so here goes...⁣
⁣
That job you complain about M-F, someone out there is putting in 15+ apps a day praying they get at least ONE interview. ⁣
That apartment/house you’re tired of cleaning, someone somewhere is hopping shelter to shelter looking for a place for them and their kids to sleep. ⁣
Those kids and that husband that gets on your nerves, someone out there has been trying to conceive for 7+ years. Or have lost a child while on spending what seems like a moment with them. ⁣
That mental wellness you wake up with everyday, someone somewhere has been in the bed all week because their mental illness took over. ⁣
That support system you have, some people are really out here doing it all alone. ⁣
I could go on and on. ⁣
Be grateful for what you have now. ⁣
I’m not talking about monetary, materialistic blessings. ⁣
I’m talking about the ones you can’t see. ⁣
That can’t be bought. ⁣
Someone will always have more than you and you will always have more than someone else. ⁣
What matters is gratitude. ⁣
Count your blessings. ⁣

Tuesday 10/27 will make 6 months into my fitness j Tuesday 10/27 will make 6 months into my fitness journey and I’m loving it. (𝐈 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐰𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐢𝐭, 𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐧𝐨 𝐃𝐌𝐬 𝐭𝐫𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐦𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐟𝐟!) ⁣

As some of you may know, I’ve committed to 30 days alcohol free. (I only drank on the weekends but the amount I drank is probably the same amount some people drink in a weeks time.) But I want those days to turn into months, months into years, so on and so forth. ⁣
⁣
I’m tired. I’m tired of drinking, being drunk, being hungover, not remembering things, being the butt of jokes, hiding in a bottle, avoiding my emotions, etc.. I want better for myself. ⁣
⁣
I’ve tried monthly breaks. Moderation. Low alcoholic drinks. You name it. The only thing I haven’t tried is LONG-TERM ABSTINENCE. My alcohol use could only get worse & I don’t want to hear of or see anything worse than my current drunk behavior. ⁣
⁣
I’m terrified of sobriety. (Being sober while pregnant is different and easy—doesn’t count.) I’m posting this because I like to over share, we all know this. ⁣
⁣
But really this is my accountability post, AA just isn’t for me. If anything AA makes me think my drinking is fine and we all know that’s not true. If you can’t offer support and/or encouraging words just ignore this post, simple. ⁣
⁣
Here’s to DAY 6 and the beginning of my first weekend sober in MONTHS. Currently reading The Sober Diaries & Allen Carr’s Easy Way to Control Alcohol. They’re surprisingly helpful.⁣

Sometimes you have to get up and make yourself loo Sometimes you have to get up and make yourself look good to feel good —even if you’re not going anywhere. ⁣Decided to curl my hair with a 1.5” curling iron. Mainly to give it texture and get rid of frizz. ⁣
