 Therapist, author and media pro Kelley Kitley joins Alysse to unpack “gray area” drinking, stigma around labels and what long-term recovery really feels like — including a visceral craving moment and the simple, honest tools that kept her sober. They also dig into cross-addictions, perimenopause curveballs, parenting teens and how sharing your story (even when it’s messy) can change lives. Takeaways: “Gray area” drinking thrives on qualifiers; clarity reduces stigma and increases connection. Cravings can resurface years in — play the tape forward and “tell on yourself” to your sober network. Sharing your story can be a professional risk — and a lifeline for others (and you). Language and identity (“alcohol-free,” “sober,” “alcoholic”) often depend on social circles; choose what supports your recovery. Perimenopause symptoms can echo old patterns; stack healthy coping tools early. Key Timestamps: [02:01] — Alysse’s Chicago intro + Kelley’s “grew up above a bar” backstory.

[18:32] — A real-time craving in a hotel — and the group text that saved the day. [34:23] — Labels, stigma and the “gray area” short film. [27:26] — Perimenopause, rage, sleep and staying out of old habits.
