In this short reflection, Christina Cook, host of The Broke Girl Society podcast, explores the power of journaling in the recovery journey. Inspired by the quote, “In the journal, I do not express myself more openly than I could to any person. I create myself,” this episode reminds us that healing isn’t just about stopping a behavior—it’s about rediscovering who we are without it.

Journaling offers a judgment-free space where we can be messy, curious, honest, and real. It’s not about writing the perfect thing—it’s about showing up. One sentence at a time, we begin to shape a version of ourselves we’re learning to trust again.

If you’re in recovery, this is your gentle nudge: open your journal. Write something real. Because this isn’t just expression—it’s transformation.

You don’t have to have all the answers—just the courage to be honest on the page. That’s where the healing begins.
