I have recovered from the state of hopelessness. Pray, but continue to paddle.
Imagine battling addiction, bulimia, and depression all at once. That’s exactly what Keli faced. In this episode of the 'Keep Coming Back Podcast', Keli, a 61-year-old Australian woman, opens up about her incredible journey to sobriety. This isn’t her first rodeo; Keli is in her second round of sobriety and is using every tool available, including medical care and therapy, to stay on track.
Her story is a testament to resilience and the human spirit's ability to overcome even the darkest times. Keli’s story starts with her first drink at a party with her brother, leading to years of struggle with alcoholism. But it wasn't just alcohol she was fighting. Bulimia and suicidal thoughts also plagued her life. What turned things around? A combination of AA support, therapy, medication, and an unyielding will to change.
One pivotal moment in her recovery was completing the fourth step inventory in AA, which helped her understand the harm she had caused others and begin making amends. Keli highlights the importance of prayer and meditation in maintaining her sobriety. She believes that these practices, along with forgiveness and letting go of resentment, have been crucial in finding genuine joy and peace.
Now engaged to be married for the first time, Keli's life is filled with happiness and serenity she once thought impossible. If you're looking for a story of hope, resilience, and practical advice on overcoming addiction, Keli’s journey is one you won’t want to miss. Tune in to hear how she transformed her life and found true peace.
