Kori's Journey: From Addiction to Spiritual Freedom
I have a spiritual teacher that tells me that when you live in the truth- and you are the truth- if you have a friend that you really consider somebody that you want to be their friend, a true friend will never turn a blind eye to another true friend's shortcomings.
What happens when the pressures of life lead someone down a path of addiction? In this episode of 'Peji's Recovery Corner', Kori opens up about her tumultuous journey from battling alcoholism to finding spiritual peace. Growing up in Orange County, Kori felt the relentless pressure to excel, which pushed her into developing eating disorders and eventually turning to alcohol as a coping mechanism. A DUI at 21 became her wake-up call, leading her to sobriety on 01/16/17.
Now, four years later, Kori is a beacon of hope for those struggling with similar issues. She talks candidly about the challenges she faced, including the dangers of fentanyl and losing friends to addiction. Her story is not just about quitting alcohol; it’s about embracing a spiritual journey that includes meditation, self-reflection, and being honest with oneself. Kori also shares how she’s expanded her horizons by working in tech, running treatment groups part-time, and even starting a spiritual crystal shop.
Her message is clear: recovery is possible, and it can lead to a fulfilling and balanced life. If you're seeking inspiration or struggling with addiction, Kori's story offers a heartfelt look at the power of resilience and the importance of seeking help.
