Kimberly's Journey: Overcoming Alcoholism and Childhood Trauma at 40
“At some point we have to take ownership of our lives, not of what happened to us, of our lives, and in order to do that, we have to go back and heal from that trauma.”
Imagine reaching your 40s only to find yourself grappling with alcoholism. That’s exactly what happened to Kimberly, a registered nurse and now a sobriety coach. In this episode of 'Escaping Rock Bottom', host Brandon Lee sits down with Kimberly to unpack her story of addiction and recovery. Kimberly delves into how unhealed childhood trauma can quietly shape our adult lives, leading to poor decisions and, in her case, alcoholism.
She didn’t realize how much her early experiences were affecting her until it was almost too late. But her story doesn’t end there. Kimberly found a way out through art and shamanic practices, discovering that addressing trauma is crucial for long-term sobriety. Her transformation from a struggling alcoholic to a sobriety coach at Soul Surgery Rehab in Scottsdale, AZ, is nothing short of inspiring.
This episode is a testament to the power of healing and the belief that it’s never too late to start over. If you’re interested in stories of resilience and recovery, this conversation between Brandon and Kimberly is a must-listen.
