I was burning everything to the ground around me... it was everything but alcohol in my mind.
Kassidy's journey is nothing short of a rollercoaster ride through the highs and lows of alcoholism and recovery. Growing up in a tiny village in Louisiana, Kassidy's childhood was marked by a sense of autonomy but also isolation. Moving to a larger town brought culture shock and feelings of loneliness, which eventually led to destructive behaviours like trichotillomania, kleptomania, and bulimia even before her first drink at 14.
Her initial encounter with alcohol was chaotic and frightening, setting the stage for years of struggle and denial about her addiction. Kassidy recounts her experiences with raw honesty, from her first disastrous drink to multiple stints in rehab. She talks about the denial, the relapses, and the eventual realisation that she needed to approach recovery differently.
Her turning point came during her fourth rehab stay, where she finally embraced the steps of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) with an open mind and heart. Kassidy's story is filled with moments of clarity and the hard truths she had to face about herself. Her journey through the AA steps, especially steps three and four, highlights the importance of honesty, willingness to change, and the support of a sponsor.
She shares how these steps helped her unclog the 'shitty clogged toilet' that was her mind, leading to a significant weight being lifted off her shoulders. Today, Kassidy enjoys six and a half years of sobriety, a dream job as a hair-cutting specialist, and healthier relationships. Her story is a testament to the power of perseverance and the importance of finding the right support system.
If you're looking for a story that combines brutal honesty with hope and resilience, Kassidy's tale is one you won't want to miss.
