Kelly Fitzgerald: From Party Girl to Sober Señorita on The SHAIR Recovery Podcast
I think the biggest help we can ever offer is to be the example.
Kelly Fitzgerald, affectionately known as the Sober Señorita, takes us through her incredible journey from a small-town girl in Pennsylvania to a woman who found sobriety and self-love. Growing up in Royersford, Kelly always had an addictive personality. High school parties and college soccer games at Millersville University saw her binge drinking and blacking out regularly. But it was her move to Cancun that truly pushed her into the depths of alcoholism.
Working for a criminal and living a life of debauchery, Kelly's drinking spiraled out of control until a heartfelt ultimatum from her boyfriend, Fernando, forced her to confront her addiction. In May 2013, Kelly took her last drink and embarked on a path to sobriety. Her blog, Sober Señorita, became a beacon of hope for many, sharing her raw and real experiences with the world. Through her candid storytelling, Kelly emphasizes the power of community and self-love in recovery.
She found solace and support in connecting with other sober bloggers, realizing that having people who understand your struggles can make all the difference. Kelly's story is a testament to the transformative power of self-compassion and the importance of surrounding yourself with a supportive community. Tune in to The SHAIR Recovery Podcast to hear Kelly's inspiring tale of overcoming addiction and embracing a life of sobriety and self-love.
