Once upon a time, Goldilocks Wisdom came into existence on Sugar Beach in Maui, Hawai‘i, to provide alcoholics, drug users, and people living with addiction with help, hope, and healing.
Founded by MM, whose work in addiction recovery dates to 2008, its mission is to break through the stigma surrounding addiction by creating safe spaces where people can find support and inspirational words for living life to its fullest—and for experiencing what it means to be alive.
Goldilocks is a gum-chewing addict seeking treatment. She has a batshit-crazy boyfriend named Victor—Mr. Grumpy. They meet at the Maui Swap Meet. Both have been homeless, living under a bridge or camping on the beach, and have done anything and everything to survive.
She drinks club soda and gives advice for a quarter. Her boyfriend drinks Hurricanes. Her online mugshot profile shows her under arrest in a holding tank in jail.
Beginning with Step 1, surrender, then moving to confession, embracing accountability, owning responsibility, and finally paying it forward, Goldilocks Wisdom guides its Facebook friends from woundedness toward healing and wholeness—because wholeness and love are basic wants and needs for all of God’s creatures.
Begin with Step 1 and the willingness to seek a different way.
Tell the truth about the story and open the door to change.
Accept support and remain answerable for the next right action.
Own the choices that make continued healing possible.
Share help, hope, and healing with others.
