I see on your Instagram all the time that you're open about your recovery and Red Songbird, and reaching out to you is really that first step and hearing back from you and getting contact information for a treatment center, I didn't stop drinking when I heard back from you immediately, but it did open my eyes to see that there was help out there, and there really were other real people who have gone through what I was going through.
Kristin Candelore always felt she drank differently from those around her. If there was a party to be started, Kristin was the go-to person. But as she entered her 20s, she began to suspect that something was off. This suspicion turned into a harsh reality after a chaotic cross-country bachelorette party, where she lost control for the first time. The tipping point came when she became pregnant, and postpartum depression took center stage in her life.
Kristin describes her pregnancy as a euphoric period, only to be followed by a severe mental health crash after giving birth. This episode of 'Let The Journey Begin' dives into Kristin's journey through the ups and downs of postpartum depression and her battle with alcoholism. She talks candidly about using alcohol as a coping mechanism and the pivotal moment when she realized she needed help.
Kristin emphasizes the importance of honesty and accountability in her recovery journey, offering a beacon of hope for anyone struggling with similar issues. Her story is a powerful reminder that recovery is possible and that seeking support is the first step toward a fresh start.
