I think there is this idea that there can be a casual use. And- and that is the addiction and the alcoholism- is that there there's no moderation?
Imagine a life where overdosing becomes just another part of your routine. That's the reality Kaylen faced in Anchorage, Alaska. In this gripping episode of the Soberoso podcast, host Dora Gosselin sits down with Kaylen to unravel her harrowing journey through addiction. Kaylen doesn't sugarcoat it—she talks about the times she overdosed so frequently that it became her new normal.
One night, after another overdose at a hotel party, she woke up alone, abandoned by friends who had even ransacked her belongings. It's a stark reminder of the dark places addiction can take you. But this episode isn't just about the darkness; it's about the light at the end of the tunnel. Kaylen shares how she turned her life around and now dedicates her time to helping women and children struggling with substance abuse.
Her deep understanding of addiction fuels her mission to offer hope and support to others. Dora and Kaylen also dive into practical tips for having fun in sobriety—yes, it’s possible! From navigating bars to enjoying concerts and festivals without a drop of alcohol, they offer real-world advice that’s both helpful and uplifting.
This episode is a rollercoaster of emotions, but it leaves you with a sense of hope and a belief that recovery is possible, no matter how far you've fallen.
