What happens after the moment you finally surrender — when the denial breaks, the truth shows up, and you decide you can’t do it alone anymore?”

In this week’s AF Superpowers episode, Coach Allie Clark (@soberdreamteam) shares Part 2 of her powerful sobriety story.

If Part 1 ended with the intervention in the closet, Part 2 picks up at the moment everything changed.

Allie takes us through her final drink, the medical detox that saved her life, and the humbling realization that detoxing at home could have killed her. She talks about crisis calls, choosing treatment, finding community, and the moment she felt home when she arrived at Harmony Recovery.

We explore the fear, the humor, the surrender, and the deep healing that followed. Allie opens up about inpatient treatment, trauma work, rebuilding trust with her husband, repairing her relationship with her kids, and the unexpected peace she now feels — the kind she never thought was possible.

Today Allie is 8 years sober, a trauma-informed sober coach, and living proof that it’s never too late to heal what hurt you.

🎧 This episode is the continuation of last week’s story  and the one that reminds you that recovery is possible even when it feels like you’re the problem.
 Spoiler: you’re not.

We explore:

• Why detoxing at home can be life-threatening
• The final drink and the moment she walked into detox
• Meeting people who had detoxed seven times… and what that taught her

• The mountain moment that changed everything

• Trauma therapy, nervous system healing, and IFS
• Rebuilding her marriage after broken trust
• How she now shows up for her kids as a safe, grounded parent
• The surprising gifts of sobriety she never expected
• Becoming a sober coach and recovering out loud
