Inside an Alcoholic's Chaotic Lifestyle | The Dark Side of Alcohol Addiction & How I Found Sobriety

Listen to this episode from Rise Above with Kevin Lanning on Spotify. Kelsey grew up fast in a home filled with alcoholism and chaos — with both parents struggling and her father disappearing from her life for 14 years. By age 10, she was caring for her younger sister and operating far beyond her years. On the outside, she was a high achiever: great college, rising corporate career — but on the inside, addiction and depression were taking over. In this raw and unfiltered interview, Kelsey shares what it was like living inside an alcoholic’s chaotic lifestyle, the dark spiral she fell into, and how she finally hit rock bottom. With nowhere left to turn, she followed the same path as her parents — a 12-step program — and slowly rebuilt her life. Now seven years sober and a successful entrepreneur, Kelsey opens up about the reality of addiction, the pain behind the mask, and what it truly takes to find freedom. #addictionrecovery #AlcoholismAwareness #SoberLife #12StepProgram #MentalHealthMatters #RiseAbove #RockBottomToRedemption Learn more about your ad choices.
