In this episode of 'Over The Influence', Kelly Marie, known as DJ Kelly, shares her inspiring journey from party-goer to sobriety advocate. After missing a flight due to one too many drinks, Kelly decided enough was enough and embarked on an alcohol-free lifestyle. Her story is a testament to the fact that you don't need a dramatic turning point to change your relationship with alcohol – sometimes, it's just about making a decision and seeing where it leads.
Kelly, a house music enthusiast, recognised the lack of sober events in party hotspots like Ibiza. With a mission to change the scene, she began organising alcohol-free events on the island, proving that fun doesn't need to be fuelled by alcohol. Her passion for music and community shines through as she discusses the connections formed at these events, which bring together people of all ages, from 18 to 80.
The episode dives into Kelly's reflections on her drinking habits, the normalisation of blackout drinking, and the empowerment she feels in her sober life. She candidly talks about how sobriety has opened doors to creativity and self-discovery, allowing her to be more present and make positive choices. Kelly's story is not just about quitting alcohol; it's about embracing life and rediscovering joy in new ways.
Her journey encourages anyone considering sobriety to take the plunge and explore the possibilities it brings. Whether you're sober curious or already on your alcohol-free adventure, Kelly's experiences offer hope and motivation. So why should you listen? Because Kelly's transformation is a reminder that life without alcohol can be vibrant and fulfilling. It's a chance to learn how you can enjoy the highs of life without the lows of hangovers.
Join her as she spreads the word about sobriety and invites you to experience the fun of sober living.
