How do you cope with loneliness in recovery? It feels so heavy…

’ve been going through a lot as of late. However, I’ve been trying to channel my stress & feelings into more creative outlets such as guitar, writing, & sketching. Tonight, my creativity manifested into a “sculpture” made from the ice in my cold plunge tub. I’m hoping to line my entire deck this way

Cognitive & intellectual intimacy is severely underrated.

If you can’t relate to someone on those levels, it makes it difficult to have logical communication, & you can’t have a stable & healthy relationship without faith, trust, & direct communication.

The huge-ass snow drifts in my backyard ❄️✨

I was gonna take today as a rest day, & regardless, I had to chop up the ice so it doesn’t freeze solid.

The wind was whipping, & hauling 5-6 buckets of hot water was tedious, but it sparked the desire to get in. It was too beautiful not to get in, & I’m glad I did.

Happy plunging, everyone 🫶🏼✨❄️

Solo ice bathing is great, but ice bathing with a good friend or a collective is such an amazing experience. You both experience the intensity of the cold & the rush of adrenaline together, & the natural dopamine boost amplifies the experience so much more. I truly treasure moments like this.

Another really intensely cold day! My ice just keeps getting thicker & thicker!

Here’s another great voiceover on what cold water immersion does for the body 🫶🏼✨❄️

It literally took me 20 minutes to chop through this beast! Might be time to rethink that deicer machine lolol.

This is my coldest ice bath, to date. Anything below 30°F can be dangerous to cold bathers. I was in around 4 minutes. It’s honestly amazing that a 1-2 degree difference can be felt.

Don’t get me wrong, I love recording & making videos, but every now & then, it really feels good to let all that go & truly be present with the people around me & enjoy the moment. I get so much more healing out of moments like these when I release control.

That’s very true. I’ve lost so many along the way 💔

My friend, Kaia, messaged me the other day & told me that she had a dream that her & I took an ice bath together. I told her it was a sign from the universe, & she agreed!

She did absolutely incredible! I can’t wait to see where this journey takes her!

#firsttime #icebath #iceplunge

That’s awesome! I’m proud of you, my friend 🙌🏼💯💪🏼

There was a time when I truly thought I wasn’t gonna make it passed 22. A time when I didn’t feel I could live without my drug of choice & truly be happy.

Now, at 31—I am clean, at peace, grateful, & happy beyond my wildest dreams. I can’t wait to see what comes next.

How many slaps of ice can Hazy stack & keep balanced on her head? We shall find out by Winter’s end! 😆✨🧊🪓

I’ve never been one for New Year’s resolutions, but one of my friends inspired me. He makes a list of achievable goals at the beginning of the year, breaks them all down into smaller, achievable steps & goals, then at the end of the year, he reviews them.

What are some of your goals for 2025?

Thank you for the memories & lessons, 2024 🙏🏼✨❄️❤️‍🩹

Happy New Year, everyone! This year, for 2025, I wholeheartedly choose myself 🫶🏼✨❄️

Always remember: anything worth having is never achieved without hard work & discipline.

Take it from experience: if you’re placing a ladder into a natural body of water like a lake or pond for cold water immersion, please make sure that the ladder is VERY FIRMLY placed & pushed deeply into the water bed. I didn’t do that, & now you see the results.

For the record I am actually okay 😄

As I was getting ready to fully submerge myself & get out, I felt ice lining the inner wall of my tub—like a mold.

I could feel that the lining of ice stopped right before the floor of the tub, so then I decided to see if I could lift it. I didn’t expect to be able to, but I most definitely could!

No one is clapping louder for me than the girl I used to be.

She sees me getting better, becoming stronger, & leading a life that surpasses her expectations.

I never thought I’d be here—but here I am. She is my motivation.

Probably gonna get a lot of crap for this—but it’s all about awareness. They don’t call them “wine & spirits” for no reason.

The only people who get upset from you enforcing your boundaries are people who benefit from you not having any.

Water was 31°F again today. This is the 5th or 4th day in a row it’s been at this temperature.

The ice was insanely thick today. It took me a moment to break through & when I did, I removed some of the blocks so they wouldn’t be scraping my knees.
