So I think sobriety is available for anyone who is willing to do the work, and I don't know what it takes for any person to get sober, but I have to believe that, through all the stories that I've heard, it's possible for anyone.
Ever wondered how a seemingly normal teenager ends up shoplifting alcohol to fund a drug habit? Meet Kiné C., who shares her raw and unfiltered story on 'The Recovery Revolution' podcast. At just 25 years old, Kiné has already lived through six tumultuous years of addiction, starting at age 15 with weekend drinking and smoking weed. By her senior year in high school, her substance use had escalated to daily consumption.
Moving to Oakland for college, Kiné's life spiraled further out of control as she added cocaine and ecstasy to her drug repertoire. Financial constraints led her and a group of friends, who dubbed themselves 'The Hippie Mafia', to shoplift alcohol and sell it on campus to support their growing addictions. In this eye-opening episode, host Omar Pinto sits down with Kiné to explore the depths of her struggles with addiction, depression, and anxiety.
She opens up about hitting rock bottom and the pivotal moments that led her to sobriety. Kiné's journey is not just about overcoming addiction; it's about finding purpose and healing through service work. Her story is a compelling reminder of the transformative power of sobriety and the importance of having a support system like AA. Whether you're battling addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers invaluable insights and inspiration.
