Feeding Tube to Freedom: A Story of Sobriety, Surrender, & Miraculous Healing (Ep. 185).
What do you do when survival mode becomes normal — and pain just feels like part of who you are?
In this powerful episode of Genuine Life Recovery, I sit down with Sara Kelsey to talk about a life marked by chronic illness, medical trauma, foster care, deep grief, and years of binge-drinking that felt more like coping than addiction.
For decades, Sara lived with gastroparesis and a feeding tube doctors said would be permanent. Behind the scenes, alcohol became a way to quiet the emotional noise — until the shame and consequences became impossible to ignore.
Then came a turning point.
Sara and her husband chose sobriety together, changing the trajectory of their marriage and family. Not long after, faith became real and personal. She was baptized in 2025 — not just as a symbol of sobriety, but of surrender. And in a moment that even doctors couldn’t explain, healing came in a way she never saw coming.
This conversation is honest, vulnerable, and full of hope. Because recovery isn’t just about behavior — it’s about letting God meet you in the middle of the mess.
If you’re wondering whether freedom is possible for you — this one’s for you.
