Recovery music written from real experience.
My name is Laura, and I’m The Recovery Girl.
This channel was created from my own recovery journey. I write every lyric based on what I’ve lived and learned, I just don’t sing the songs.
Music has become a way for me to process, heal, and put into words the things I couldn’t always say out loud.
If you’ve ever struggled, sat in a recovery room, or felt overwhelmed or alone… this space is for you.
This isn’t about being perfect or having all the answers. It’s about honesty, growth, and not doing it alone.

One thing I’ve been working on lately is organizing my music into albums so it’s easier to listen to songs that share a similar theme and message.
So far, I’ve created three The Recovery Girl albums, each representing a different part of my recovery journey.
If you’ve only heard a song here and there, the albums are a great way to experience the bigger picture and hear how the songs connect together.
Each song is written from my own experience, strength, hope, struggles, lessons, and growth. They’re not just individual songs to me, they’re chapters of a story that I’m still living and learning from every day.
I’m incredibly grateful for everyone who has listened, commented, shared a song, or simply followed along on this journey.
I’ll post the links to all three albums below if you’d like to listen.
And I’d love to know…
Do you have a favorite song so far?
Or is there a recovery topic you’d like to hear a song about in the future?
Thank you for being here and being part of this community. ❤️

Sometimes the hardest part of healing isn’t seeing someone else’s behavior clearly…
It’s being honest about our own motives.
Why do I say yes when I want to say no?
Why do I keep trying to fix things that aren’t mine to fix?
Am I acting out of love, fear, guilt, approval, or control?
My new song, Motives, was inspired by the idea that recovery isn’t just about changing what we do, it’s about understanding why we do it.
The more I grow, the more I realize that real healing starts with honest self reflection.
I hope this song encourages you to pause, look inward, and give yourself grace along the way. ❤️
Thank you for being part of this journey with me.
🎵 Motives is available now on my channel.

Lately I’ve noticed people listening to my music between 1:00 AM and 4:00 AM.
I don’t know who you are or what you’re carrying, but I want you to know how much that touches my heart.
The reason I started making recovery music wasn’t because I had all the answers. It was because I needed healing myself. Writing these songs became part of my own journey toward emotional sobriety, faith, and growth.
If you’re listening in the middle of the night because you’re hurting, searching, healing, or simply trying to make it through another day, please know you’re not alone.
I’m still learning. I’m still growing. I’m walking this path one day at a time, just like so many of you.
My hope has always been that if a song helped me through something, maybe it could shine a little light for someone else too.
Thank you for listening. Thank you for allowing me to be part of your journey. And thank you for reminding me why I started this in the first place.
If you ever want to share your story, tell me how a song connected with you, or simply reach out, I’d love to hear from you.

My newest song, Progress Not Perfection, is now live. ❤️
One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned in recovery is that healing isn’t about getting everything right. It’s about showing up, being willing, learning from mistakes, and taking the next right step.
For a long time, I thought growth meant never falling down. Today, I know growth often looks like getting back up, again and again.
This song is for anyone who has ever felt like they weren’t doing recovery, life, or healing “perfectly.”
Keep going. Small steps still count. 🌅
What does “progress not perfection” mean to you?

70 subscribers. ❤️
I know 70 may not sound like a huge number to some people, but to me it’s 70 people who connected with a message of hope, healing, and recovery.
Thank you for listening, sharing, commenting, and being part of this journey. Every song I write comes from real experience, strength, hope, and the lessons I’ve learned along the way.
One of the things I’ve learned in recovery is that we are not alone. Every time you share a song, leave a comment, or connect with someone who’s struggling, you’re helping spread that message.
Let’s keep talking about recovery.
Let’s keep sharing hope.
Let’s keep reminding each other that healing is possible.
What song has connected with you the most so far? ❤️

Trust is one of those things I used to think could be restored with the right words.
What I’ve learned is that trust isn’t rebuilt through promises, explanations, or guarantees. It’s rebuilt through honesty, consistency, and actions that stay true over time.
My new song, Trust Takes Time, is about the healing process that happens when we stop looking for certainty and start paying attention to what is real.
Whether you’re rebuilding trust with someone else, learning to trust yourself again, or trusting your Higher Power, I hope this song meets you where you are.
❤️ Healing through music.

I just released a new song called Driven and this one is a little different from my other recovery songs.
Recovery has taught me that self-care is not selfish.
For a long time, I thought taking care of myself should come after everyone else. But I’m learning that my physical health, emotional health, and spiritual health are all connected.
For me, working out has become more than just exercise. It’s become a way to clear my mind, process my emotions, and spend time with my Higher Power.
Some days I feel motivated. Some days I don’t.
Those are the days I ask my Higher Power to drive. To give me the strength, willingness, and discipline to keep showing up even when I don’t feel like it.
That’s what this song is about.
Not perfection.
Not having it all together.
Just taking the next step and trusting that I’m being guided in the right direction.
I’d love to hear from you:
What is one thing you do for self-care that helps keep you grounded?
For me lately, it’s exercise, meetings, music, and spending time with my Higher Power.
I can’t wait to hear your answers. ❤️

I’m sharing a song that is very close to my heart: Let More Be Revealed.
I wrote this song for a friend I met through recovery. We’ve spent countless hours supporting each other, sharing honestly, and reminding one another that we don’t have to walk through life’s hardest moments alone.
When someone we love is struggling, it’s easy to become consumed by fear and uncertainty. We want answers. We want certainty. We want to know how everything will turn out.
Recovery has taught me something different.
I don’t have to know the ending today.
I don’t have to have all the answers.
I just have to trust the process, stay connected, and take the next right step.
Sometimes hope looks like simply believing there is more to the story than what we can see today.
Who has been a source of strength, hope, or encouragement in your life when you needed it most?
I’d love to hear about the people who helped you keep going. ❤️
🎵 Let More Be Revealed is now live on my channel.

Today I’m sharing a new song called Let More Be Revealed.
I wrote this song for a friend in Al-Anon who has been walking through a difficult season. Through recovery, we’ve learned something powerful: healing doesn’t happen alone. Sometimes the greatest gift we can offer another person is simply our presence, our understanding, and our willingness to walk beside them.
When life feels uncertain, I often want answers right away. Recovery continues to teach me that I don’t have to know how the story ends. I just have to take the next right step and trust that more will be revealed.
This song is a reminder that hope is still here, even when we can’t see the whole path.
Have you ever had someone in recovery walk beside you when you needed it most?
I’d love to hear about the people who have helped you keep going. ❤️

🎵 NEW SONG RELEASE 🎵
“Built on Fear” is now live.
For a long time, fear made more decisions in my life than I realized.
Fear of failure.
Fear of judgment.
Fear of change.
Fear of not being enough.
Recovery has taught me that fear may have helped shape my past, but it doesn’t have to define my future.
This song is about recognizing those fears, facing them honestly, and choosing growth anyway.
I’d love to hear from you:
What is one fear you’ve had to overcome, or one fear you’re currently working through?
Your answer might be exactly what someone else needs to read today. ❤️
Thank you for listening, supporting, sharing, and being part of this healing community.
❤️ Like, comment, and let me know what this song means to you
