MP Keri Ann – Entertainment Executive – 30 Years Sober, Prescription Medications & Alcohol
Am I too young to get sober?
Getting sober is difficult at any age, but young adults certainly face a unique set of challenges. That was certainly the case for today’s guest, Keri Ann, who got sober at nineteen.
After a rebellious streak – stealing prescription medications from her father, binge drinking, reckless driving, black outs, petty theft, and an abusive relationship - she went to the Caron Foundation in Pennsylvania for substance use. Despite having zero intention of getting sober, Keri Ann quickly learned that she was powerless over drugs and alcohol.
Keri Ann attributes much of her current success in life to 30 years of continuous sobriety. She is the CEO and Founder of KIMBALL ENTERTAINMENT a Management and Production company for Film, Television & New Media and the founder of K-STAR PR, a celebrity and brand public relations agency. She's also heavily involved in supporting the causes of several non-profits, including The Artist Project, Beauty Gives Back, and Rock to Recovery (to name a few) .
Keri Ann has maintained and sustained success across all segments of media and entertainment, with over 20 years of experience producing, working closely with actors, directors, writers, artists, musicians, and production companies.
Growing up, drugs and alcohol were her primary focus ... Today, Keri Ann provides us with valuable insight on what it was like to get sober at such a young age: (1) the challenges she faced while navigating the path to recovery during adolescence, (2) the benefits of growing up in AA and getting sober early in life, (3) the tools she used and continues to use to maintain her sobriety, (4) and the ways in which the benefits of recovery have permeated her entire life.
There is no perfect age to get sober. You’re never too young or too old to get sober. Embracing sobriety can be a challenging journey for youth and young adults, but it’s a rewarding path that leads to a healthier, more fulfilling life.
This podcast traverses difficult emotional terrain. If you are struggling, you are not alone. Please reach out for help and call SAMHSA’s National Helpline at 1-800-662-HELP (4357). If you are experiencing suicidal ideation, I encourage you to call the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988.
