The first year I got sober, I spent the holidays alone here in Los Angeles. My dad worried about me. “Are you sure?” he asked nervously. “You’re just going to be…alone? Won’t you be depressed?” He comes from a huge family. Our Christmases growing up were no l...

On October 18th, (God willing and all that jazz), I’ll have six years of consecutive sobriety. Not a single drink, drug or alas, puff of weed (which was my true, true love—more on that later in the month).

Today we shot the first “Weekly Dumpster Fire” — a project I’ve been wanting to do forever but have had to wait because of all the other stuff going on and my insecurity about how fat my arms look on camera.
Wait no more!

It’s Lent and the good Catholic schoolgirl in me loves this season of fasting and rending the heart and not my garments and all that jazz, so I dug deep and asked myself the hard question—what would be the most challenging thing in my life to give up? Since I’ve already given up heroin, coc...
