Everybody's fine with the way they drink until you stop drinking and then you give them permission to be like: oh, I didn't realize we could do that.
Kevin Bellack’s story is one of transformation and courage. Once a corporate accountant, Kevin now dedicates his life to helping others navigate sobriety. In this episode of 'Sober Stories', host Beth Bowen chats with Kevin about his journey from late-night binge drinking to becoming a recovery coach. They dive into how therapy was a game-changer for Kevin, helping him confront his addiction and embrace vulnerability as a strength, not a weakness.
Kevin shares candidly about the turning points that led him to sobriety, including a powerful moment inspired by a Blue October lyric. He and Beth discuss the often-hidden struggles of those who seem fine on the outside but are battling quiet bottoms. The conversation also touches on the challenges of raising teenagers in a world where alcohol is everywhere. Kevin’s shift from the corporate world to working in recovery wasn't just a career change; it was a life change.
Now a Thrive coach on the Reframe app, Kevin uses his experience to support others in reducing or eliminating alcohol from their lives. He talks about the importance of normalizing therapy for men and breaking down the stigma that keeps many from seeking help. One of the most touching parts of Kevin’s story is his radical honesty with his wife, which transformed their relationship. His message is clear: opening up can lead to freedom and deeper connections.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the power of vulnerability and the importance of seeking support in the journey to sobriety.
