“I remember thinking, 'If my sobriety doesn't come first, everything else in my life comes last.' So when I talk to other people, I don't think it's feasible to tell them, 'You need to quit your job and that'll solve all your drinking problems.' I just don't think I would have.”
What if the key to lasting sobriety lies in finding the right community? In this episode of the '1000 Days Sober Podcast', host Lee Davy sits down with Sonia Kahlon, founder of EverBlume, to discuss her inspiring journey from orthodontist to recovery advocate. Sonia's story is one of transformation—after selling her successful multi-location practice in 2016, she got sober the following year and shifted her focus towards helping others navigate their own paths to recovery.
Through EverBlume, she has created small group recovery meetings where members are matched based on their specific struggles, fostering meaningful connections and support. But that's just the beginning. Sonia's dedication extends beyond her professional life; she also invests in social impact projects and volunteers with the incarcerated and victims of sex trafficking. This episode dives deep into the importance of specialized recovery communities, the challenges of maintaining sobriety, and how redefining success can lead to a more fulfilling life.
Whether you're on your own journey to sobriety or supporting someone who is, Sonia's insights offer a refreshing perspective on the power of peer support and conscious living.
