35 min - 26. Kelly's Story - Divorce & Navigating New Relationships with a Sober Curious Outlook
Because her father was an alcoholic, Kelly always said she would not drink. Before she knew it, she became the life of party. She held her drinking at bay for several years UNTIL divorce where she discovered her schedule of freedom and new found independence.
Up until about 2 years ago Kelly never reflected on her drinking behavior because it never seemed to get "out of hand". Now, in a new marriage, Kelly was forced to take a mirror to her own habits and is now acutely aware of her own dangerous binge behavior.
After exploring a Sober Curious lifestyle with her new husband, Kelly is celebrating 90 Days Sober TODAY!!!

56 min - 25. What to Do When Your Mental Health is About to CrashI claim to have found mental peace, and while most days that is true and I’ve grown exponentially from the debaucherous years of my past, my Mental Health battle never ends and my Journey is ever evolving, and to be honest, I hope that's always the case.I can’t “cure” these things, I won't ever fully “overcome” them. But I don't need to. By practicing Mental Toughness & learning Emotional Intelligence in a systematic way I've changed the game. I've created a radical disruptor to the concept of "overcoming."Overcoming what?!?! Ourselves???Stop Hiding! Breathe. Take your mask off too.Stop trying to FIX yourself, you are not broken.Together S.O.B.E.R.

- 23. Shame-Less: My Untold Truth
I have never shared this truth before. I am boldy stepping into the area, stripped of all my pride, to share my naked and raw story of shame. It has been buried in the vaults for years and serving no one there.
I seek the Together SOBER community’s compassion in hopes we can all come together to learn how to break ourselves of this toxic cycle of shame.
This demonstration will teach through experience how we can all work through our own shame and move it from a place of fear to a place of love.

23 min - 22. Shay's Story - Religious Hypocrisy & Alcohol
Meet Shay, A survivor of several childhood traumas, including prosecuted sexual assault, religious trauma, and parental addiction. Shay picked up her first drink at the age of 19 after moving out of her toxic family home and marrying her first husband. That's when she found her 'cure to everything' as soon as she took that first sip of alcohol… and she didn't put it down for more than 16 years.
After rehabs, and trying to stop for loved ones, quitting just never stuck. Shay finally realized the answer was that she had to quit for herself. Because she wanted to, and because she was ready.
Today Shay is a certified and trained recovery coach and she gets to be the Mom her girls deserve and she has relationships that are strong and healthy. This is what makes her proud. It keeps her going.

26 min - 18. Melissa Devine's Story - Sobriety & The Law of Attraction
At 25 Melissa, the author of Madness to Magic, was a victim of a violent crime as she was held captive for eight hours. After she escaped, the trauma continued as the small-town justice system attempted to cover up the crime. Leaning into the only thing she knew best, Melissa became friends with the darkness she couldn't escape and for seven years struggled through addiction, mental health disorders and suicide attempts. One day she woke up. Got sober. Took her healing into her own hands and went back to everything she had been drawn to when she was younger. Especially the law of attraction.
Today, Devine uses her personal experience as an:
📚 Author of Madness to Magic
🗣 Speaker
🪄 Law of Attraction/ Enlightenment coach
🔮 Tarot card reader
🙌 Energy healer
Melissa wants to present her book that starts as a true crime but ultimately serves as a self-help guidebook. It is written to lead her audience, both those suffering from addiction and the loved ones of those suffering, towards their own healing and what Melissa likes to call magic.
Melissa is passionate about animals and stopping/helping survivors of addiction, sex trafficking, rape, and domestic violence. Melissa will donate a portion of the profits from her book sales to a charity focused on these issues. This month the charity will be “To Write Love on Her Arms” which focuses on addiction and the related issues of mental health issues such as depression, suicide, and self-harm.
