This episode of Recovery Elevator takes you on a journey through the ups and downs of sobriety with Kimmy, a spirited 34-year-old from Montrose, Colorado. Having taken her last drink on April 3rd, 2017, Kimmy shares her story with host Paul Churchill, who himself has been sober since September 7th, 2014.

Kimmy opens up about her early life in Montana, where she was surrounded by a culture of drinking, and how moving to Colorado marked a turning point in her life. Kimmy discusses the challenges she faced in letting go of alcohol and how faith played a pivotal role in her recovery. She reflects on the moment she realised that alcohol was no longer serving her and how she had to turn to faith for strength.

Kimmy's story is not just about quitting alcohol but also about rediscovering her passions, like riding horses, and setting new goals for herself. The conversation is sprinkled with humour and relatable anecdotes, making it both engaging and inspiring. Paul and Kimmy explore the concept of 'letting go' and how reactions to life's events can be more important than the events themselves. This episode offers valuable insights into the process of healing and finding joy in sobriety.

For anyone questioning their relationship with alcohol or seeking encouragement on their sober journey, Kimmy's story serves as a reminder that you're not alone and that there is hope on the other side. So why not join Kimmy and Paul for a candid chat that might just be the spark you need?
