How Persistence, Faith & Surrender Led to 1 Year Alcohol Free | A Love Life Sober Testimony

View descriptionShare
 

If you feel stuck in the cycle of trying to quit drinking, starting over, and wondering if freedom is possible, this episode offers real hope. Christy is joined by Kelly Harper to celebrate one year alcohol free and share her honest journey through setbacks, surrender, and lasting transformation.

Kelly shares the full story—not the polished version—including restarts, exhaustion, single motherhood, and the steady way God pursued her through it all. This conversation explores what it looks like to keep going when you feel stuck, and why starting over doesn’t mean you’re back at zero.


If you’ve ever thought…

“I can barely get a few days alcohol free.”
“I keep trying and failing.”
“I love Jesus but I feel so far from Him.”


What You’ll Learn In This Episode

• Why the process of change often takes longer than expected

• Encouragement for breaking the cycle of repeated restarts

• Kelly’s experience with Alcoholics Anonymous and finding the right support

Episode Takeaway

You are not back at zero just because you started over.

Every step matters—and freedom is built by continuing, even when it’s hard.
