I don't believe that you have to go to awful depths to get sober. It's just more of a genuine and like my need, my desire to help other people's.
Imagine enduring the unimaginable and still finding the strength to rebuild your life. That’s exactly what Kelsey R. has done. Her story, shared on the Clean Dreams Recovery Podcast, is one of profound resilience and hope. Kelsey’s journey isn’t just about overcoming addiction; it’s about surviving the horrors of sex trafficking and emerging stronger on the other side. Kelsey opens up about how her addiction to drugs and alcohol was a coping mechanism for the trauma she faced.
The spiral into hopelessness seemed endless until she found herself at rock bottom, realizing that she needed help. Enter Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and its 12-step program, which became her lifeline. Through AA, Kelsey discovered the power of admitting powerlessness and embracing a structured path to recovery. A pivotal part of Kelsey’s recovery has been making amends. But it’s not just about saying sorry; it’s about taking responsibility and actively working to make things right.
Kelsey shares how this process has helped her heal relationships and rebuild trust with those she had hurt. Prayer and meditation have also played crucial roles in Kelsey’s journey. Connecting with a higher power through prayer has given her the strength to face daily challenges, while meditation offers a sense of inner peace and clarity. These practices are more than just routines; they are vital tools that help her maintain sobriety. Sobriety isn’t always easy.
Kelsey candidly talks about the tough days when life feels overwhelming. Yet, her commitment to staying sober and helping others remains unwavering. Her belief that one doesn’t need to hit rock bottom to seek help is a beacon of hope for many. Kelsey’s story is a powerful reminder of the human spirit’s resilience. Whether you’re on your own path to recovery or supporting someone who is, her journey offers inspiration and encouragement.
