Kelly Fitzgerald: From Binge Drinking to the Sober Señorita
The biggest help we can ever offer is to be the example: live the highest good you want for others.
Kelly Fitzgerald, better known as the Sober Señorita, takes us on a heartfelt journey from her days of binge drinking to finding peace in sobriety. Growing up in Royersford, Pennsylvania, Kelly was always the life of the party, earning her the nickname 'social butterfly'. But behind the smiles and laughter was a struggle with addiction that began in high school and followed her through college and beyond. After moving to Cancun, Mexico, her drinking spiraled into full-blown alcoholism.
In May 2013, Kelly took her last drink and embarked on a path to recovery that would change her life forever. By 2014, she started her blog, Sober Señorita, where her candid posts about sobriety resonated with readers worldwide. In this episode of The Recovery Revolution podcast, hosted by Omar Pinto, Kelly opens up about the role of self-love and community in her recovery.
She talks about how sharing her story has helped others and discusses the societal glamorization of alcohol and drugs. Kelly also shares her favorite recovery book and its impact on her journey. Her story is a powerful reminder that recovery is possible and that vulnerability can be a source of strength. Tune in to hear Kelly's inspiring story and discover the transformative power of self-love and community.
