Kirby's Pandemic Sobriety Journey: Triumphs and Trials
“I was staying at a dude ranch- Latigo ranch in Colorado- and I watched the sunrise over the mountains, and I never would have thought that's how I would celebrate my 30th birthday.”
How do you stay sober during a global pandemic? This episode of Recovery Elevator, hosted by Paul Churchill, dives into that very question. Paul shares heartfelt stories from listeners and Café RE members, each navigating their sobriety through the challenges of COVID-19. Among these voices is Kirby, a 30-year-old from Charleston, SC, who took her last drink on March 25, 2018. Kirby's story is a mix of resilience and discovery.
She recounts her early encounters with alcohol, including her first blackout at 16 and her years working in a sports bar where drinking was part of the job. Her journey to sobriety is filled with ups and downs, but it’s her strength and determination that shine through. Kirby talks about how she has adapted to life without alcohol, even finding joy in new hobbies and outdoor activities.
She also shares her favorite alcohol-free concert experience and how she stays connected with her community during these isolating times. Paul also touches on the importance of self-care and introduces his free guided meditation as a tool for maintaining sobriety. This episode offers a blend of personal stories and practical advice, making it a must-listen for anyone on their own recovery path.
