Flexing Your Sobriety with Soberflex Founder Kevin Beaufrand

#12: This week, Liz is joined by Kevin Beaufrand (he/him), found of Soberflex and a person in recovery. Kevin shares his story of active addiction and his journey to find sobriety and recovery. From the age of thirteen to thirty-one years old, active addiction took hold of Kevin's life. In May 2019, Kevin decided enough was enough. He made the pivotal decision to change his life and chose to become 'obsessed' with wellness and health. After walking down this path to recovery, Kevin has made it his North Star help other folks do the same. 

Check out the conversation to learn more about Kevin as we discuss his story and more, including:

• Confronting the 'saboteur' voice in his mind that tempted him to stray from his sobriety — and how he learned to control and live with it.
• How he found his North Star and the drive to live a holistic healthy lifestyle that sustains his sobriety.
• Why after a year into sobriety he was tempted to try drinking in moderation, and how his community supported him to stay sober.
• The mission behind Soberflex, and the special meaning behind the organization's name.
