And when I face it, I take back a little dignity, not looking for excuses.
Imagine growing up in a household where alcohol is ever-present, and you know you're genetically predisposed to addiction. This is the backdrop of Kelley Kitley's life. In this episode of The Bubble Hour, host Jean McCarthy chats with Kelley, a therapist who turned her struggles with alcohol into a journey of self-healing and advocacy. Kelley’s story is a testament to the power of community and the importance of turning inward to find peace.
Despite her early awareness of the risks, Kelley found herself caught in the cycle of addiction, trying everything from moderation to other methods, but nothing seemed to stick. It wasn’t until she saw a friend thrive in sobriety that she decided to make a real change. Facing resistance from her family's alcohol-centric business, Kelley found her sanctuary in the recovery community. Writing and advocacy became her tools for healing, allowing her to own her story and shed years of shame.
Through this journey, she discovered the vital role of self-compassion and forgiveness in recovery. Kelley's story is both heartwarming and motivating, showing that there are many paths to overcoming addiction. Tune in to hear her candid conversation with Jean McCarthy and find inspiration in her resilience and wisdom.
