Kimberly Coleman - Rock Bottom To Renewal

A truck ride to a thrift store, a body shaking from withdrawal, and a heart convinced it was too late—that’s where Kim’s turnaround begins. What unfolds is a raw, hope-filled journey through addiction, relapse, faith, and a reunion a decade in the making. We go past the highlight reel to the slow work: how self-medication starts with one prescription, how shame isolates, why conviction is different from condemnation, and what it takes to rebuild a life one honest step at a time.Kim grew up in a stable home, but loss, divorce, and depression opened the door to pills, then to heroin when prescriptions stopped. At 58, she believed absence might be her greatest gift to her son. Instead, community and a long-term program gave her a scaffold to stand on. She shares the moment Scripture came alive, the power of hearing “come back” after a kratom slip, and the hard choice to reenter recovery when pride screamed no. We unpack practical tools for any season: choosing a program length that fits, finding sponsors and mentors, using simple routines to outlast cravings, and replacing guilt with action.There’s no neat arc here—just perseverance, daily obedience, and a faith that offers dignity before results arrive. The story lands with a quiet miracle: a family reunion, a “Happy Thanksgiving, Mama” text, and the steady joy of paid bills, honest work, and real friends. If you’ve felt too old, too far gone, or too ashamed to try again, this conversation offers a clear path forward and a gentle push to take the next step.
