I want to like change the world, I want to live an epic life, and all of that just vanishes, because alcohol is the only thing that's important.
What happens when a teenager's weekend experimentation with alcohol and weed spirals into a full-blown addiction? Meet Kiné C., who at just 25 years old, has already lived through six turbulent years of substance abuse. In this gripping episode of The SHAIR Recovery Podcast, Kiné opens up about her journey from casual weekend drinking at 15 to daily drug use by her senior year in high school.
The story takes a darker turn when she moves to Oakland for college, adding cocaine and ecstasy to her growing list of substances. Struggling to fund her addiction, Kiné and her friends, dubbed 'The Hippie Mafia', resort to shoplifting alcohol and selling it on campus. This wild ride eventually leads Kiné to hit rock bottom, but it's also where her path to recovery begins.
She shares the pivotal role that Alcoholics Anonymous played in her life, emphasizing the power of personal choice and the significance of service work. If you're looking for a raw, real-life account of addiction and the road to recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
