Becca - 6 Months Milestone

Recorded on 13 March 2025

Kevin’s Story – From Chaos to Clarity

Kevin’s journey through addiction is a raw, unfiltered odyssey of survival—from childhood trauma and violent family dynamics to sexual abuse, homelessness, and near-fatal overdoses.

Growing up in a volatile home with alcoholic parents, he found temporary escape in drugs and alcohol by age 14, spiraling into cocaine, pills, and reckless behavior.

Multiple suicide attempts, rehab stints, and a harrowing 0.47 BAC blackout that nearly killed him marked his rock bottom. After losing his wife to cancer and his mother shortly after, Kevin finally embraced sobriety through secular AA, finding solace in a community that accepts his atheism.

Now facing chronic health issues and family struggles, he clings to one truth: Sobriety doesn’t promise a perfect life—just a fighting chance.
