Living on the El-Ledge: Locked Up and Lessons Learned

Welcome back to Living on the El-Ledge, the show within the Sober Vibes Podcast, where my sister Kimberly Elledge and I get real about addiction, recovery, and the messy middle in between.In episode 6, Kimberly shares her experience of being locked up in the county jail system after drinking and driving. We talk about what really happens behind bars, the harsh realities of the jail system, and how it often fails to help people struggling with addiction.We also get into jail slang (yes, it’s a thing!), how the system profits from incarceration, and why recovery support is so limited once you’re inside. This conversation is raw, honest, and full of lessons learned the hard way.If you’ve ever felt like the system was built to keep people stuck instead of helping them heal, this one will hit home.To connect with Kimberly:InstagramTo connect with Courtney:InstagramFacebook Sober Vibes Community 30 Day Free Sober Not Boring Calendar*The Merch mentioned in this episode is no longer available.🎧 Hosted by Courtney Andersen — Sober Coach, Author of Sober Vibes: A Guide to Thriving in Your First Three Months Without Alcohol, and Founder of the Sober Vibes community.For more support, 1:1 coaching, and resources, visit courtneyrecovered.com or join my membership, Sobriety Circle, for meetings, workshops, and a supportive community of women living alcohol-free.Thank you for listening!
