Dr. Alice Kerby on Addiction and Life Beyond the Pink Cloud

After suffering from severe stress while going through her doctorate, Dr. Alice fell into a downward spiral of alcohol abuse. This continued until she realized her problem, and she has been sober for three years since.

It's this experience that led Dr. Alice to starting the Beyond the Pink Cloud podcast, where she talks to people that have overcome their own battles with substance abuse, as well as inspired others by living their best lives.

Topics up for discussion this week include:

how the podcast grew from her own recovery from alcohol abusehow the Covid-19 pandemic is leading to higher stress and addiction temptationhow we're adding to our stress levels while working from homehow the show's direction has evolved from recovery-focused to multiple fields of expertise across various topicswhy she's inspired by people living their dreamssome of the hurdles that are hard to overcome when dealing with abusehow the drinking culture of different countries affects addiction levelsthe fear of sharing her story in the first few episodeshow she became a semi-professional fire dancer

Settle back for an open and honest discussion about addiction, recovery, and what that means to the people afflicted, and those surrounding them.
