Age 32, Kourtney R. was born and raised in the small suburbs of Thousand Oaks, California. Kourtney comes from a very tight knit family and is the eldest of five girls. Her mother was always present and was very strict when it came to drinking, drugs and anything having to do with partying. Of course, as a young girl, Kourtney had no idea that an innocent series of events (or so she thought) would take her down a deep, dark path...forever changing her life. Kourtney now has a year of sobriety under her belt, has a beautiful daughter and is giving back by sharing her tragic story in hopes of it helping others. She admits that sobriety is something she constantly has to work on, but knows that she has been presented with a second chance in life-and she will not take advantage of it this time!
