The trauma certainly made me who I am nowadays, and for that I'm proud.
Picture this: an eight-year-old girl, brave beyond her years, standing in a courtroom to testify against her abuser. That's Kelly Wallace's reality. In this gripping episode of 'Steps to Sobriety', host Stephan Neff sits down with Kelly to uncover her harrowing journey from childhood sexual abuse to becoming a beacon of resilience and hope. Despite facing immense challenges, including addiction and depression, Kelly's story is one of incredible strength and recovery.
Through candid conversation, Stephan and Kelly discuss the significance of confronting trauma head-on, seeking help, and building a robust support system. Kelly opens up about how the AA step system played a pivotal role in her sobriety and how writing became her sanctuary and a path to self-discovery.
With twenty-one years of sobriety under her belt, Kelly shares her top three tips for anyone battling their demons: never give up, see rejection as protection, and don't quit five minutes before the miracle happens. This episode isn't just about survival; it's about thriving. It's a testament to the power of self-love, acceptance, and the human spirit's unyielding strength.
Whether you're on your own journey to sobriety or supporting someone who is, Kelly's story will inspire you to find the courage within yourself to overcome any obstacle.
