Kelly's Path to Sobriety: From Struggles to Strength

Addiction gets harder and harder and ends in death. Sobriety is hard work too. But it gets easier and easier and ends in life. - Andy Ziegler
What if every step you took towards sobriety made life a little bit easier? In this episode of Recovery Elevator, Paul Churchill and Kristopher Oyen chat with Kelly, a 32-year-old mother from Fort Myers, Florida, who’s been sober for just over a week. Kelly opens up about her battle with alcohol, the hard work of recovery, and the gradual journey towards a fulfilling life without booze.
She candidly discusses the challenges she faced, the importance of stepping out of her comfort zone, and the value of not hiding her struggles. Kelly’s story is a powerful reminder that while addiction tightens its grip over years, healing also takes time and effort. It’s like turning a massive ship—slow and steady wins the race. By making daily choices that lead to self-love and health, Kelly shows that it's possible to reprogram negative thinking patterns and build a new life.
This episode is packed with practical advice on coping with stress, dealing with triggers, and rebuilding self-esteem and relationships. Kelly emphasizes the importance of accountability and having a support system, encouraging listeners to celebrate milestones and prepare for future challenges. The hosts also highlight the rewards of sobriety and the importance of tracking progress. If you’re on your own journey to recovery or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a wealth of insights and inspiration.
