Kemper's Journey: Finding Strength and Connection in Sobriety

For me, I see it kind of as like: get away from your addiction as much as you can and start working on the steps.
Ever felt like you're fighting a battle alone? Kemper's story might just change that. In this episode of Supported Sobriety, Kemper opens up about his struggle with pornography addiction, which began at a young age and persisted for years despite numerous attempts to quit. His turning point came when he started attending 12 step meetings, which became a cornerstone of his recovery. Kemper's journey underscores the power of honesty.
By being truthful with himself and others, he found a community that understood his struggles and offered unwavering support. These meetings didn't just provide a platform for sharing experiences; they were a source of new ideas and strategies for staying sober. Kemper also highlights the importance of finding connection in sobriety. Whether through meetings, sponsor relationships, or simply confiding in friends and family, these connections can be lifelines.
He acknowledges the hurdles that come with addiction recovery, including the setbacks and challenges, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic when many in-person meetings were disrupted. Despite these obstacles, Kemper stresses the importance of maintaining sobriety and finding ways to connect with others, even if it means adapting to virtual meetings. His story is a testament to hope and perseverance, reminding us that recovery is possible and that support is crucial.
