Here’s Great Tip: How To Find Joy When You Love An Alcoholic | Kim Moore | TEDxColchester | Kim Moore | TEDxColchester

Here is Something You Should See…


In her deeply personal talk for TEDxColchester, Kim Moore shares her story about the impact her late husband’s alcoholism has had on her life – and her uplifting advice for encouraging others who have been in similar situations to learn how to blossom. Her aim? To help others find their way out of the bottle, regain control of their lives and begin a new story, filled with colour and joy once again.

Kim is an entrepreneur, community organiser, marketing consultant, mum and a solo parent who lost her husband to alcoholism. She is committed to building communities: supportive positive environments where people can come together to find strength. She is on a journey to help others who love an alcoholic, promoting the need to talk about the elephant in the room, the difficult topic of alcoholism. Born in Canada, Kim moved to the UK in 1998 after a whirlwind romance, swept off her feet by a witty and charming Englishman. After years of trying to control life and her husband’s drinking, often living in chaos and isolated from her family in Canada, she lost her voice, afraid of the truth of how life was unfolding. Today, she speaks openly of her story: one of great love, loss and new beginnings. This talk was given as part of a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organised by a local community.
