Courtney Friel's story is one of transformation and resilience. As a shy kid who faced constant bullying, Courtney found solace in alcohol and drugs, which helped her come out of her shell. However, what started as a coping mechanism spiraled into a 15-year-long party career. Courtney's life took a turn when her friends staged an impromptu intervention, pushing her towards rehab and ultimately, sobriety.
In this episode of 'Sober Nation FM', Courtney opens up about the challenges she faced during her journey to sobriety. From navigating sober dating to working in the media industry where alcohol is often present, Courtney doesn't shy away from the tough topics. She shares her self-help and meditation practices that have been crucial in her recovery and emphasizes the importance of community and support.

Now a successful reporter and host for KTLA in Los Angeles, Courtney has been sober for over ten years and recently published a book titled 'Tonight at 10: Kicking Booze and Breaking News'. This episode is a testament to the power of intervention, community support, and personal determination.
