Kevin Kreider's Path to Sobriety and Representation in Hollywood

Drinking alcohol is kind of like drinking a lie my whole life. And when I realized that with sobriety, what that meant for what my interpretation was, take my wildest dreams, and I'm now beyond it.
What does it take to stay sober in the glitzy world of Hollywood? Kevin Kreider, star of Netflix's 'Bling Empire', joins Beth Bowen on 'Sober Stories' to share his journey. Kevin opens up about how sobriety has given him more than he ever imagined, contrasting sharply with his party-guy image on the show. He discusses the behind-the-scenes reality of 'Bling Empire', shedding light on the production and his fellow cast members.
But it's not all glamour; Kevin also talks about the stress that led to his alopecia diagnosis and how getting sober in 2015 changed his life. Kevin's story is a testament to the power of visibility, especially for minority communities in recovery. His portrayal on 'Bling Empire' inspired him to launch 'Sans', a non-alcoholic beverage brand aimed at destigmatizing sobriety.
Beth and Kevin delve into the importance of authenticity in storytelling and the need for real connections in mental health and self-help industries. They emphasize that having something as simple as a health-conscious drink can make a big difference in maintaining sobriety. If you're curious about how someone navigates sobriety in the public eye or interested in the intersection of mental health and personal branding, this episode offers a candid and engaging look.
Kevin's journey from fitness modeling to Hollywood star, and now a sobriety advocate, is both inspiring and thought-provoking. Tune in to hear how he's breaking barriers and encouraging others to live authentically.
