Another recovery cliche, or soberism, is the opposite of addiction is connection, and her story in her early recovery, which is now Two Years Ago, and her later development of her recovery community perfectly highlights this point.
Imagine finding a new way of life after an unexpected injury forces you to reassess your drinking habits. That's exactly what happened to Kirby from Charleston. In this episode of 'Recovery Rising', she shares her inspiring journey from the moment she decided to put down the bottle in April 2018. Kirby talks about how she turned to podcasts and quit lit as essential tools in her recovery toolkit.
These resources didn't just help her stay sober; they opened doors to communities where she found genuine connections and support. Kirby dives into her experiences with AA and Recovery Elevator Retreats, revealing how these communities played a crucial role in her journey. She emphasizes that the opposite of addiction is connection, and surrounding herself with like-minded individuals striving for better lives made all the difference.
Gratitude and authenticity are two pillars that have kept Kirby grounded on her path to sobriety. She discusses how practicing gratitude and being true to herself have helped her stay focused and committed to her recovery. Kirby's story is a testament to the power of community and the importance of building authentic relationships in the journey to sobriety. Tune in to hear Kirby's story and discover how you, too, can thrive in recovery.
