Until she realized it wasn't and that her dishonesty could cost her everything she loved.Deciding she had to make a change, Kearns threw herself into a new life of sobriety seven months into the COVID-19 pandemic, but only after severing the chains of bondage did she realize how much work there was still to do. Opening the doors to buried memories and past traumas was only the beginning. Throughout her journey to sobriety, Kearns would come to terms with the secrets and lies told by her parents and loved ones, allowing her a clarity and freedom she never thought possible.
