Sober Motivation: Sharing Sobriety Stories

Carly Rogers wanted to hit ”cruising altitude” to feel comfortable and alcohol helped her do that until it was time to say goodbye.

Carly Rogers started drinking alcohol when she was 11 years old. It all started out very innocent and was never intended to become what it ended up being. Carly was performing in Nashville and drinking seemed to go hand and hand with the business. Carly’s doctor mentioned it would be best if she was not drinking alcohol due to having some medical issues from a car accident. Carly feared she would no longer be fun or fit in but for the last 93 days she has discovered that was not the truth. This is Carly’s story on the sober motivation podcast.
