I realized then that God is love and that we have but one ultimate authority: a loving God, as expressed in our group conscience.
Imagine a life swinging between extremes—one moment a college athlete, the next, in a psych ward. That's the rollercoaster Kelley found herself on. In this episode of the 'Keep Coming Back Podcast', Kelley opens up about her tumultuous journey from addiction to sobriety. Her story is raw and unfiltered, offering a glimpse into the chaos that addiction can bring.
Kelley talks about her all-or-nothing mindset, which led her from an eating disorder to meth addiction, and from academic success to multiple stints in rehab and jail. She even married a cop and dated a meth dealer, living a life that was anything but ordinary. But it wasn't just the wild swings in her life that defined her; it was her eventual surrender and search for something greater that truly marked her transformation.
Kelley shares how she hit rock bottom, feeling hopeless and even wishing for death. Yet, in the darkest moments, she found a glimmer of hope through the rooms of Alcoholics Anonymous and the support of its community. She speaks candidly about how a simple prayer and the people around her helped lift the obsession to drink or use, leading her to a life filled with love and serenity.
For anyone grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is, Kelley's story is a beacon of hope. Her reflections on spirituality, the power of community, and the importance of surrendering to a higher power offer valuable insights into the recovery process. Tune in to hear how Kelley transformed her life from chaos to calm, proving that recovery is not just possible but also profoundly transformative.
