Wrecked
With Tracy
Welcome to the Get (un)Wrecked Newsletter! Thank you for joining me on this
crazy journey. I’ve had some pretty huge stumbles and I’ve learned some key
lessons along the way. I want to share these lessons, tips, tricks, etc with you –
along with what I’m learning from my current stumbles and imperfections.

Ok, crash course in WHAT is Pretty Wrecked? WHY? And (most critically) HOW?
The WHAT
Pretty Wrecked is an account of my addiction to drugs and alcohol which had me crash and burn by 19 years old – yeah, 19. Now, at 48, I'm grateful to say I have been continuously sober for the past 28 years and living a dream life. Told in a series of easy-to-read digestible vignettes, Pretty Wrecked is brutally honest with a dark humor and laced with 1980s/90s nostalgia throughout.
The WHY
HOPE. Plain and simple. After a rather odd calling from the universe in the sauna (true story) telling me to do / say something about the staggering increase in alcohol and drug consumption, I began writing my story in April of 2023. Pretty Wrecked is the result of that calling. I am immensely proud of this work and deeply hopeful that it will touch others of all ages (recommended for 16+).
Why Now?
Are you tired of all the Go Go Go? I sure as fuck am! I’m learning that business works to serve as a distraction from our lives, our day, our precious moments. And it's these moments - our mundane Wednesday (as Tim Urban would attest to in his essay) - that IS our life. I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to miss it. I know I’m worth the effort to keep learning, working, and showing up for myself. I hope you decide YOU are worth the effort as well and join me on this journey.
How is this memoir different?
Pretty Wrecked is not just a memoir about my train-wreck addiction. Yes, I tell all the gory and entertaining details, but the last third of the book shares the lessons and rewards that have happened because of my focused work on my recovery. I did the work – I STILL do the work, and I want to share these messages with you! And I’ll tell you a secret… The muscles for “making a change” are the same regardless of the situation.
Do you want to learn how to flex those muscles? I have some answers, so stick around…
How are we going to do this?
It IS a journey and change IS hard, but the key to any lasting change is
CONSISTENCY. Showing up one day at a time, little by little, and doing the work.
It’s just as simple and as complicated as that…
Let’s get to work.
