In this episode of Grieving Out Loud, meet Sonia Kahlon, an accomplished orthodontist who built a successful seven-location orthodontic group and appeared to have it all. But behind the scenes, she was secretly battling a high-functioning alcohol addiction that had started with a nightly glass of red wine and progressed to a full bottle every night, leaving her feeling sick every day.

In this powerful episode, Sonia shares her inspiring journey of overcoming substance use disorder and how she has since channeled her experience into a new business that provides online small group recovery meetings. Join us as Sonia opens up about her struggle, overcoming it, and her mission to help others do the same. You can learn about Sonia’s business, EverBlume, here
