How Chebet Ronoh Realized She Had a Problem with Alcohol

Veteran digital content creator, brand influencer, and former radio host Chebet Ronoh has opened up about her journey of self-discovery, future aspirations, and her battle with alcoholism, including moments of self-doubt.

“I had to realize that my energy is enough as it is, and I don’t need to be drunk to enjoy life or have fun. I wanted to explore how the sober version of myself could enjoy life, and, more importantly, I wanted to create memories. I want to remember meeting people and conversing with them, rather than just hearing secondhand stories,” she shared during her guest appearance on Stephanie Cherono’s podcast while discussing her sobriety journey.

Reflecting on when she recognized her addiction, Chebet noted that alcohol began to infiltrate various aspects of her life, affecting her relationships, finances, and personal well-being. It had shifted from a source of fun to an avenue for escapism.

Initially, the TikToker had negative feelings about entering a rehab center and seeking mental health support. She acknowledged that the recovery process has been challenging, particularly because she is a public figure who also deals with social anxiety.

Regarding her vision for the next five years and her life goals, the former radio host expressed, “I want confidence… I want to be a confident woman who doesn’t seek external validation. That desire for validation is a disease. I aspire to be an entrepreneur… I want that entrepreneurial vibe.” She emphasized that she is showing herself love by being patient and allowing God to take control.
