Kay S. takes the stage in Woodstock, GA, to share her raw and humorous journey through alcoholism and recovery. With a blend of wit and sincerity, Kay recounts her first encounter with alcohol at the tender age of eight, courtesy of her mother’s 'cough syrup'.

Her storytelling is peppered with jokes that lighten the mood, making it relatable and engaging for anyone who's walked a similar path.

Kay’s story is not just about overcoming addiction; it's about finding humour and hope in the darkest moments. Her journey underscores the importance of community, faith, and perseverance in recovery. Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, Kay's tale offers a mix of laughter, tears, and valuable lessons.
