Sober Señorita Kelly Fitzgerald joins us on The SHAIR Podcast today. Kelly grew up in the suburbs of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in a small town called Royersford. From as far back she can remember she has always had an addictive personality. She lived to party and was branded the “social butterfly” in high school. Kelly attended college at Millersville University in central Pennsylvania and earned 2 undergraduate degrees while playing 4 seasons of NCAA Division II soccer, as well as establishing her drinking career. Binge drinking and blackouts became the norm as she falls deeper and deeper into denial about just how bad her drinking habits had become.
After graduation she moved to Cancun, Mexico where her alcoholism morphed into full blown alcoholic debauchery. In May of 2013 Kelly took her last drink and began her journey into sobriety. In 2014 she started blogging on here website Sober Señorita where she made her first official blog post about sobriety – the post heard round the world!
Today Kelly is the Sober Señorita and her goal is to let others know through her own story that help is available for substance use disorders and that recovery is possible. By sharing her story with the world she hopes to break the stigma of addiction and let others know you can live a life beyond your wildest dreams.
