Alcohol isn't necessary for you to enjoy yourself. To prove a point to her son, she stopped drinking for 3 months. The time went by quicker than she thought, and she realized that she felt better without alcohol in her life.
Kim Bellas' journey to sobriety began in an unexpected way. When her 15-year-old son started having seizures, he had to give up alcohol—a staple at teenage parties. To support him, Kim decided to quit drinking herself, initially for just three months. What started as a temporary gesture turned into a life-changing commitment. Kim found herself happier and more fulfilled without alcohol, leading her to extend her sobriety indefinitely.
Now, eight years later, she’s the founder of 'Sober is the New Cool', a non-profit dedicated to promoting a sober lifestyle and providing support for those on a similar path. In this episode of 'The Addiction Podcast - Point of No Return', Kim opens up about the challenges she faced while adapting to a life without alcohol, from navigating social events to overcoming personal triggers.
She also shares how her advocacy work has not only helped others but also reinforced her own commitment to sobriety. With 'Sober is the New Cool', Kim aims to show that a sober life can be exhilarating and fulfilling. Her story is a testament to the transformative power of giving up alcohol and the positive ripple effect it can have on one’s life and community.
