44. The Real Cost of Getting Sober (And Why It’s Worth It)

Eight years. That’s how long I’ve been sober. And let me tell you—getting well, recovering from addiction, and building a healthier life? It costs you something. In this episode of The Kori Leigh Show, I’m opening up about the real price of healing—the mindset shifts, the sacrifices, and the deep, sometimes painful process of letting go of toxic habits, relationships, and substances.

I’ll share the personal milestones that shaped my journey, the grief and isolation I had to navigate, and how my relationship with God became my anchor through it all. Sobriety isn’t just about quitting drinking—it’s about doing the hard work every single day to create a life that actually feels good.

Yes, it’s hard. Yes, it requires discipline, commitment, and a willingness to face things most people run from. But here’s the truth—it’s worth it. And if you’re on this path or thinking about it, I want you to know that you’re not alone.

And if this episode speaks to you, send me a message—I’d love to hear your story. 💛
