'You don't need alcohol to have fun,' I said, holding a wine glass.
In this episode of M2 THE ROCK, Michael Molthan sits down with Kim Bellas, the inspiring founder of 'Sober is the New Cool.' Kim shares her heartfelt journey of sobriety that began when her son was diagnosed with epilepsy. She candidly discusses the challenges and stigma surrounding addiction, especially from a parent's perspective. Kim's story is one of resilience and transformation, as she gave up alcohol to support her son and found herself in the process.
The conversation delves into the importance of community support, the power of kindness, and the need for compassion in recovery. Michael and Kim explore the concept of 'high bottom' alcoholics - those who may not hit rock bottom in a traditional sense but still recognise the need for change. They also touch on the significance of non-judgmental support systems and the impact of small gestures, like Kim's practice of giving out white hearts to remind people they are never alone.
This episode is filled with raw honesty and heartfelt moments that will resonate with anyone on their own journey to sobriety or supporting someone who is. Don't miss out on this touching and uplifting conversation that reminds us all of the power of love and community in overcoming addiction.
