I’m truly honored to be featured in Sydkusten, the premier Swedish-language newspaper on the Costa del Sol. In this article, I share my personal journey of 18 years of sobriety and my work as a dedicated recovery coach, helping others online and in Marbella overcome addiction and build healthier lives.
In the interview, we discuss the reality of addiction—how it knows no boundaries of class, profession, or location—and the importance of structure and support in maintaining long-term recovery.
“People often think addiction looks a certain way, but the truth is, most of us were highly functional. I was a successful real estate agent in Stockholm, yet behind the scenes, my drinking had real consequences.”
I talk about my personal experience, growing up in a family affected by addiction, my own struggles, and how I now help others navigate their recovery. My approach goes beyond traditional therapy, incorporating tools like meditation, breathwork, and collaboration with specialists to support a holistic healing process.
Addiction isn’t just about substance use—it’s about consequences. Whether you’re struggling yourself, supporting a loved one, or want to understand more about the journey to recovery, this article sheds light on the reality behind addiction and the path to healing.
I had the honor of joining Mikael Lund on Tillfrisknandepodden, a fantastic podcast that dives deep into addiction recovery and personal growth. During Mikael’s visit to Costa del Sol, we had an open and honest conversation about my journey—getting into recovery at a young age, the power of community, and the daily work required to maintain sobriety for over 15 years.
We also explored the challenges and rewards of being a present parent in recovery, breaking generational patterns, and applying recovery principles at home. This episode is one I’m truly proud of, and I hope it resonates with anyone seeking inspiration, support, or a deeper understanding of the recovery journey.
I had the honor of joining Beroendepodden with Annelie Ståhl to share my personal journey of overcoming addiction and building a new life in recovery.
In this episode, we dive deep into my story—from my career as a successful real estate agent in Spain and my time as a finalist on Big Brother Sweden, to the struggles I faced as a functioning alcoholic. Despite external success, I battled addiction for years before making the life-changing decision to get sober. Now, 17 years later, I live a life free from alcohol and dedicated to helping others do the same.
One of the key topics we discuss is the misconception that addiction only takes hold in times of struggle. In reality, relapse often occurs when everything seems to be going well. We explore the complexities of addiction, the power of seeking help, and the path to long-term recovery.
