TALK TO MY GUEST, CAROLINE KAGIA +254797759386 carolinekagiawellness@gmail.com
If you're not struggling with alcohol addiction, you definitely know someone who is. For many, what started as fun has catapulted them into to a dark hole that is alcohol addiction. That first drink you wish you never had is now in control of your life.
You seem to be on a free fall, sinking deeper everyday despite every effort you put in to stop! Caroline Kagia is one of the very few who sank too low yet somehow found her way back up right in time and saved her life. She shares her journey tonight on Shared Moments with Justus.

I may not have so much to give, but I can talk and hopefully help reach to the mass. Alcoholism is quite a big monster 👹
Truly i reasonated with her story.
Hi Caroline, please put your book on Amazon we buy from there...🙏🏽🙏🏽
Excellent stuff! Congratulations Caroline for turning your life around! It is truly never too late to make a change and this is the beginning of the rest of your life. You're a star and you'll go places.
Your sobriety will stick, and you know why? Because you're self aware. That's the most important ingredient in recovery.
Also, your father is one many of us can only dream of. Having being raised by a toxic narcissistic father myself, I can only imagine what it is like to have a dad who is the "embodiment of Jesus Christ" in my life. A dad who loves unconditionally. You are truly blessed.
My mother is the gem, the angel who loves her children unconditionally to "balance out" my father. Your dad is that same gem that balances out your mom.
God knows to have balance when he pairs up parents.
All the best in your life Caroline!
Wah! I swear the Kagia family can be the subject of a whole Netflix documentary. God bless you Caroline for being vulnerable with us. Barikiwa sana.
No they cant.
Please invite her to your show
@@vanhelsing4041 please shut up
Ameniguza sana i was addicted mpaka vile nilikam gulf am going two finish two years sober alcohol wachana nayo vitu mingi huyu dem amesema i passed through oooh may God bless caroline ❤ mpaka machozi imetoka
Me watching this thinking of team wakurugenzi then naona mkuu hapa 😂😂 mkuu wat about a talk na kagia pale Kwa channel yetu😂😂😂😂
Who else loves how supportive Caroline’s dad is🎉 he’s the best dad
There's a piece of terrible advice that goes around: "You are your child's parent not their friend". Her dad got it the right way. He was her friend all through. The healthy way to think about it is that we are our children's best friends but we are not their peers. A friend is someone you can turn to when the world falls apart. A peer is someone who is at your level of experience and may not be the best influence.
@@KelvinKim-desu I fully agree.👍👍
May God bless Carol's dad! He's one in a million..
Many men do good to their kids, but are mostly overshadowed by their wives.
@@cn-yg6vf chema chajiuza, kibaya chajitembeza. My experience is that many men believe they are doing good but few actually are.
Letting her tell her story without any interruptions was the best thing ever. Appreciate you Carol and Shared Moments with Justus for this.
Justus is a superb listener .
One of the reasons I love this channel, no interruptions.
I love how she identifies Social Gracees. Its so important.
True. That’s why I like this channel. Justus makes it about the guest.
9 months sober. Best feeling in the world. God help everyone going through an addiction 🙏🏿
So happy for you and pray for my first born son to stop drinking
@@lucynjeri7291 Hi Lucy. I'm saying a prayer for his deliverance from alcoholism. Our God is an awesome God and his will is good and will be done in your son's life. God bless you you❤️🙏🏿
The decesion to quit alcohol must come from deep down your heart, learn how to pray because prayers work miracles.I chose to quit alcohol and I never went to any rehab because With God everything is possible.Just make that decision and never look back.
She is so hillarious!😂 as an alcoholic myself who also has been to rehab twice, i thoroughly enjoyed this chat. I see so much of myself in her and hopefully one day i will also get to where she is mentally.. Thank you so much for giving us hope
For sure, You'll be sharing your story soon to inspire others.
@@lizgathu7098 yaaani pia www,may God help recover
I used to fear poverty. But the more I listen to such stories, I fear childhood trauma!
So true. Sadly so
Addiction is a monster. Praying for anyone going through any sort of addictions. And to the loved one's, let's pray and encourage them. It's not easy 🙏🙏🙏
I would do apréciate ur prayer for my fiancé israel who lives in cuba - He’s battling addiction to alcohol and drugs and he is a believer so I really don’t know what to do with his fiancé but I can just ask for prayer because at this point I don’t even know the proper way to pray. My name is Imani and I just appreciate anyone who wants to pray for us for the healing of God for the intervention of God and for the victory of God over these demonic forces
Thank you, my son is an addict close to 15 yrs continue praying for us
@@freeyourdreama7822 I'll mention you Imani in my prayers today. May God do it for your Fiancé.
her dad is the MVP of this story
12 YEARS SOBER WE CAN WRITE BOOKS ON ALCOHOLISM .NOW A LANDLORD IN KIAMBU
Congrats
How would you help someone who's addicted for years?
The drinking problem in this generation is truly worrying!!!! I am completely in agreement. We need to aggressively create awareness on this matter.
True. We need to talk about the real problem leading us to drink and use drugs in excess.
Wake up.Nobody forced her to drink alcohol.Her brother DNA was all over in Ngong Town binging from bar to bar.Its an individual to practice self control and not play victim like women do.
@@vanhelsing4041 you have zero acknowledgment of science!
Ive never heard a sober mind speak after deep varied addiction. Glory to our good Lord for you Miss. Kagia.
Unlike other substance abuses, Alcoholism is also both genetically inclined and a generational curse. No one understands Alcoholics and the behaviors thereof. Instead of rebuking, shunning, ridiculing and isolating us, society must understand that behind all that drinking is a delicate soul and human yearning to be loved. Once there is love, there is a shift in behavior. Yes . I am a struggling Alcoholic and I know I will come out clean because Rome was not built in a day
Same boat. I wish us well.
Go AA and help OTHERS.
It is very easy to quit alcohol if the decision to quit comes from your heart.
@@simongitu7311 very true.
Mr. Kagia , Caroline Father ; where you are may the Lord bless you abundantly ... You are the father every girl needs, Mungu akubariki Dad ' Thank you for being there for her , Thank you for doing it over and over again; Thank you for not giving up on her ; You did everything that a father can do , everything ; Mungu akuogezee miaka aki Daddie in Jesus Name Amen
Listening to Carol's testimony, the dad saw what many parents, or spouses don't see in precious people around them. He demonstrated God's unfailing grace, mercy and love. To God be the glory.
She such a story teller can listen to her all day
That man who sold the doors is a disgrace to mankind..
Heartless. Cold blooded
So true
Carol is such a good story teller....Thank you Justus for giving her a platform to share her journey
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you 🙏🏽
Recovery is difficult but healing is so sweet. Carol is a fighter
Caroline, thanks and thanks you for sharing your story!
I have been sober 15 years now only because Jesus Christ took away the craving from my system..!
Amen
That is what people do not understand you cannot due it without the grace od God
My namesake Caroline you are such an amazing and brave woman,I almost headed there but I choose not and I thank my mum coz she used to talk about how bad alcohol is.keep up dear.
We East Africans glorify drinking , thank you for speaking about it. All you see on snapchat and social media is big bottles being potrayed as a sense of having made it in life.
This lady is one of the greatest orator i have met and listened to her story
Thanks Daktari.
Thank you for sharing your story. The effects of childhood trauma, mother wounds - glad you spoke about this.
I am a living testament of all that you have done during your alcoholic journey I am fighting to stay sober not by being in rehab but being in a gulf country where I fight each day to stay sober ,and keep my faith in God that as I complete my contract and head back home I shall be strong enough not to veer of the beautiful path of sobriety .I cannot emphasis more that its all in you to believe that you are greater than the bottle and the slavery that comes alongside alcoholism
Keep going gal.....you are a warrior in Jesus Name. 🙏
All will be well, alcoholism sometimes stems from demonic strongholds if you prayer everyday God will guide you
Go to AA IN NAIROBI and help OTHERS...
@@wanjikuroki2688 nothingvto do with demons.
Its a CHEMICAL.
Caro I keep listening to you in every channel I see you....I never get tired of hearing this story ....M proud of you mamaa
Carol,u are so full of life!!! The energy,the courage,the persuasion, positivity etc 👏👌👌👌 sending you love! I pray that one day my siblings who are deeply rooted and chained in alcoholism will be delivered 🙏🙏
Powerful! Caroline, you are so full of life with zest and that's truly wonderful. May God greatly use you in bringing many addicts to freedom and deliverence.
Thank you Justus for this great platform.
Woow! Thank you so much Carol for this. That is exactly where I was headed. Truly, there is hope for me.
You are an inspiration. You are a true definition of a phenomenal woman
This has been a brilliant session, learnt a lot and very encouraging indeed. Tiktok brought me here... 😁
Glory to God who Restores!!keep strong Carol.🙏🏻
Thumbs up to Carol for sharing your story selflessly.This will change a life that will change generations.God bless you
Justus, this brought me home. I tend to think that if there are people who are geniuses, it's the alcoholics. I love it when you bring people who have overcome alcohol addiction. Thank you so much.
Most welcome Ann
True. The devil targets the best in the world
I listened to her story on engage talk some years ago and I'm here listening to her again❤️.
The authenticity and the oration ... She is so beautiful 😍.
What a Testimony....
Very educative n for sure God kept u for a reason.. .. you will help many who are almost giving up. God bless u Caro n may He give u the grace to save many from alcoholism.
Such a wonderful gal....
Such an inspiration...
All the best Carol...I salute your Dad...
Thank you so much for sharing. You have no idea How many lives you will touch. God bless you
I can listen to her all day all night.
I have afew similar episodes regarding my former alcoholism days and single parent hood and childhood happenings.
I have been inspired.
God bless her
Continue sharing hope to the hopeless, you are a hero Carol
Amazing inspiring story.... Thank you Justus and Caroline
Well done well done gir! You have very rare courage. The demon power behind alcohol is unbelievable- destroying everything in its wake. And hats off to your Dad and the rest of your family. Pick up the pieces,forgive and move forward
Thank you so much for your testimony and for sharing. The Lord will see you throuugh.
I stumbled on this..and am glad I did!!wow!!👏🏽👏🏽 Caroline is a wonderful storyteller...candid& hilarious at the same time.I would love to hear her speak especially to the younger generation in high schools who think drinking is just a sip..which spirals into addiction in a flash.Her story is not only inspirational but an eye opener of what alcohol does to the body,mind and those around you...
I have learnt more of alcoholic effects and relate with the behaviour of family members with alcohol addiction.
May God bless you Caroline for sharing this story, I am very sure that there are so many souls out there that needed this encouragement.
Thanks for your Service Carol , thanks to your dad who loved unconditionally. Parenting is not easy in this generation
Where is the link to buy the book. I live in the U.S and I research the mother wound. So glad we’re talking openly about this as Africans. I think what saved me a bit is my dad comes from a healthy family AND I was not sexually assaulted as a child. I’m the exception,not the rule in African communities. The mother wound if untreated, repeats itself generationally. In my family it was with my grandmother ( maternal side) , mother and I’m in therapy to try and treat the wound which I’ve researched is actually passed through the EGG ( maternal dna). We are a wounded generation and need help, God and talks like this to realize were not alone!!! She relapsed during covid which isn’t long ago, I pray for her healing!,,
My neighbour's cat died, you drink! This cracked me up good! You are a great story teller Carol. Thank you for sharing your story. Thank you Justus.
You have to speak life🙏
Keep coming back one day at a time✨
We are in recovery till the day we go home❤️
Choose to live right!
She's a brave lady for sharing her story. Her very deep story. But she told her story well and eloquently. She's a smart, funny lady and is doing God's work.
Thank you for sharing. At minute 32, that's a hell of a breakthrough. I have come to learn from experience, observation of my friends and relatives struggling with addiction and later learning from my wife who is a therapist that addiction is an unconscious attempt at self medication. There are people who use substances for many years but do not suffer addiction. They grow out of it and move on with their lives after the younger years. However, where there is an unattended trauma particularly from childhood, that causes guilt, shame, mistrust or anger, the mind looks for sources of dopamine to suppress the painful discomfort. Addiction ends when we attend to the trauma or find acceptance in a healthy community or both.
Profound
She is an intelligent woman and she is such a good story teller.
I knew you back 2011,and am happy that God gave you a turning point. Your story is soo inspirational .with God every mountain can be shaken...congrats carol 💖
Thank you Caroline, I will help my son to fight Thank you
Thank you Carol for sharing your story. It's authentic and educative. God rescued you. May he continue protecting you.
Thanks to this channel for allowing us to listen without interruptions.
I love this woman....kabisaaaa!! She is the truth of what can happen to you..
Thank you 😊
You could listen to her all day.. ❤️so educative and a good public speaker.
Thank you so much Carol, thank you for allowing God to use you this way.
this is exactly my story,..I feel her
Thanks Caroline for sharing your story. I shared My story recently in the paper and it was liberating but also felt good to see so many people identify. We don't have enough stories in Kenya of women sharing their alcoholism recovery stories. Yours inspired me alot while I was still drinking. And now I'm sober and giving back too. I relate with alot of your personality early on being so naive and feeling out of place and swearing never to drink..God bless. So happy to witness your growth.
True, its all about overconfidence. I went to rehab, stayed sober then relapsed and now am taking one day at a time. Sobriety is good, but its demanding. Jesus needs to be involved.
❤️
Stop bothering GOD in KENYA too much THIEVES there.
Thanx Sis for sharing.
May you continue healing and helping other souls
I have been glued to this story from the beginning to the end..... Shared moments with justus thanks alooooot for such inspiring stories. Carol your a real gem
Thank you 🙏🏽
Thank you 🙏🏽
This lady is speak a very good and clear English, to be understood without straining😂🤣
I'm In love with how she talks, she is just beautiful
You are beautiful my dear, thanks for 360 turn,God bless and keep you.
Beautiful, you are going places
This is quite therapeutic for Caroline. I wouldn't be surprised that she will start a new journey of healing, especially after talking about her traumatic experiences in childhood
This is so nice , Kagia is a very good orator , It’s nice hearing someone who has gone through addiction talk on it and advice and a woman to add on that. Sad thing most clubs on weekends are filled with more ladies than men , In the next ten years there will be more women addicts than men , look at it this way , the more women get empowered the more the indulge in alcohol like men , problem with society is that more you get resources more you want to drink expensive , prove to your friends and make a statement , now imagine a woman with money , It was a man problem but now will cut through all gender . Mark this comment , come 2030 , I will come and rewrite this comment , the stats will be so high that women will be more addicts.
Carol you are such a good narrator.........
Enjoyed listening to you. Its an eye opener.
Enjoyed listening to your story!
Thank you Carol for sharing your story, you are a very brave woman. Your story will help many souls
Thank you.
A story so beautifully told. May God protect you.
Carol thanks for sharing your story n wishing you God's favour as you continue with the journey
Asante sana for doing this in English mostly as i can send to someone who is struggling with this issue....but they don't speak Kiswahili
Beautiful woman Jesus loves you. May He continue to guide you and to protect you. God bless you abundantly.
Love that she shared even the shameful moments. It will certainly help those who may have some shame from their past alcoholic events(and a lot of us do) to realize that no matter how low you went then, you can find your way back.
Sure thing
So true ☺️
One thing I have learned is that she was spoilt by the father just because she was named after the father's mother.
I don't know but I wonder why she was, and it seems she is not even today close to the mother. One thing people should know,, of you are rude to one of your parents, then you must pay for it.
Humble and repent to your mother because you are also a parent now.
One thing I can't encourage is naming children after their grandparents.
So much beauty
Very deep n stright from the horse's mouth...... for all addictions put GOD above all
Wow so eloquent, beautiful gal so funny eti i was like furniture laughing,,, am glad all this ended well , BIG UP CARO
Suvh an inspiring story. Thank you God bless..
Story very well told Caroline
Thank God for your life. Yani the way God loves others proves if he needs you alive and testify,you will and no one will stop that. Our God is good. Treat your dad well as you still alive.
Waooohh parents should be careful on how they treat their children coz today I am fighting for my daughter's normal happy childhood coz her mother was damaged as a child , it's difficult for me but I manage it coz i know her mother is not ok emotionally, mentally and psychological
She a good story teller
This is an eye opener and informative
Your dad is a powerful and patient support system
Yoh, I can't wait to hear this story of hope after going through such
Pole sana. Pole pole sana.
You are such a wonderful story teller. I enjoyed listening to you ,and mostly your story can definitely save a lot of people struggling with alcoholism. I wish defferent media could give you more platforms .
She is amazing ❤
Wow what a testimony and experience,may God see you through as he purpose to make you what he called you for
OMG Carol, I worked with you at RMS and wondered what happened to you, you just decided not to show up for work girl and you were such a vibe... keep recovering Carol... you have been given a lease of life
The most genuine, authentic and humble story from a .recovering addict that is at your level. Proud of you Carol. I remember meeting you after you story on engage. You have really inspired me to say the least. Your dad's attitude is a lesson I want to embrace for my significant others. May God continue using you. Hope to meet you some day.
Thank you. I'm humbled.
Carolyn you're hilarious.. .your story is an inspiration
Waau, you are a Godsend for anyone trying to unlock themselves from this demon.. alcohol.. addiction. May you continue finding your good purpose that is changing the lives of many families struggling to help their children and siblings from this problem.
Thank you for sharing, someone in the struggle will be touched for good.
Godsend
Thank you Carol
when she says the word drinking you can see how passionnate she was about it. i am sad to see how many girls are behaving in similar ways and they think that it is just ok
Waoh may God bless Caroline for this 💯💕
