A real-time record of rebuilding a life through sobriety, education, and creativity — without filters or perfection.
The Rebuild Journal is a living record of rebuilding a life in real time.
Not after it’s finished. Not once it’s polished. While it’s happening.
This is not a motivation brand or hustle culture content.
It’s about showing the work — the small steps, the setbacks, and the moments of clarity that come from staying honest and building anyway.
Radical Honesty
No highlight reels. No pretending it’s easier than it is.Humor as Resilience
Not escape — survival. Sometimes laughter is how we keep going.Small Steps, Big Direction
Lower the bar. Build momentum. Repeat.Transparency as Leadership
Rebuilding in public, not from a pedestal.
Magic: The Gathering— focus, strategy, decision-making
LEGO Builds — mindfulness and rebuilding metaphors
Social Work Lens — trauma-informed, humanistic perspective
ADHD-Friendly Systems — structure without shame
I’m Sammy B — a social work student, recovering human, and lifelong rebuilder.I believe growth happens when we stop pretending and start building — one small piece at a time.This journal exists so rebuilding doesn’t have to be a private shame or a polished performance.Just honest work, done out loud
If you’re rebuilding — you’re welcome here.
