73. Kelsey's Story: 30 Day's of Trying Something New (Try It!)
Like many of us, Kelsey, a Minnesota born and raised adventurer, started drinking in high school with friends and almost instantly knew she had a different relationship with alcohol than everyone around her.
But because she got good grades, played competitive soccer throughout college, started my career, and had a very "normal" looking path, there was never a reason to second guess anything.
Over time, things started to shift, on the outside, she had a great life! But… on the inside she was completely depressed, anxious, lonely, and started to battle with suicidal ideation. It was no coincidence, during this time, that alcohol had become a part of her daily life.
Kelsey’s relationship with alcohol continued to decline. She found herself creating all the rules, trying to moderate and had numerous failed attempts to “take a break” from drinking. November 7th 2021, Kelsey found herself months away from her 31st birthday, hungover, miserable, and absolutely hating her life.
It was at that moment she decided she was willing to do whatever it took to change her life. The decision was a 60 day break from alcohol until her 31st birthday.
During that 60 day period, Kesley dove deep into recovery and personal healing. She started to document her journey on TikTok (which you must check out! @kelseygoessober), she sought out and built a community, redefined and rebuilt her life. Before the 60 days were up Kelsey realized that she wanted to live a sober life. And today she is living it!
Kelsey says, she felt so alone in her relationship with alcohol and the horrific internal battle. Today Kelsey vows to keep talking and sharing her story to help others come out of the darkness and recover out loud together.
