3 Cat Marnell, once among the city’s finest wasted writers, is two-years sober. (Making her, er, just among the city’s finest writers).
Marnell wrote the beloved “How To Murder Your Life” memoir in 2017 about her attempts to balance a demanding life as a fashion and beauty journalist with a flourishing drug addiction.
The XOJane star got clean in 2022, and just celebrated her two-year anniversary.
3 She wrote a Dharmic column about it on her Substack, BeautyShambles.
“Sobriety just feels like…Nothing. I wake up in the morning and it’s Nothing. I leave the house and walk to my intended destination feeling Nothing,” she wrote, “I sit down to do my work and I get it done, like it’s Nothing. I eat three meals a day and it’s Nothing. It’s emptier than the shelves I keep clearing, because I feel like stuff is closing in on me.It’s just…Nothing.”
She said she celebrated two years on November 28.
