Lynn topic imeniwai becoz yenyewe sijui how am here after burying my little bro 7 years ago juu ya tei, when COVID happened, mdogo mdogo wine manenos WFH before long 700 Ml in a day hard liquor 😔 😟 🙁
where in Nairobi can i get AA meetings
I like the character of the father. It has really taught me the best lesson about parenting. Lynn you are such a amazing person who inspire my life daily. Just know you are a mentor to me.
Being a pastor for many years her story is a wakeup call for me for sure the church must open her eyes and face issues as they are with our congregations thankyou Carol and Lynn
I knew Lynn will reach out to her. Watched her on another platform.
There's a lot to learn from this story. I was an addict a few years ago and my dad reached a point of giving up on one day he told me that he is just waiting for the day they will call him to come and pick me up from the mortuary . I made him go through hell I would drink and the conductors of kojja stage would him to come and pick There's no college I did not attend that is within Nairobi cbd, college was graffins college in town and I would refuse to attend classes and decide to go buy alcohol come and sit there opposite nation center there some seats where people sit near total. I remember one day I drunk so much till I blacked out to the point the chokoras wanted to rape me some boda boda guys called the police. Good enough I used to walk with my passport so behind the passport I had written my dad's number, They called him and asked if he knew me. Like I saw my dad suffer stress because of me and it never used to bother me. As long as I had a bottle nothing else mattered that was my life but I thank God I overcame the addiction
I wish carol's dad would give his version of parenting and what he went through as a parent of an alcoholic
Check Engage on YT
Yes..for sure. He was with her all through
I fear addiction. It takes over your life, strips you of your dignity, destroys your relationships, destroys careers...and wastes your life. It is a testament to you Carol that you have conquered this demon, may you remain sober for life.
This story has touched me before i got saved i use to drink like a shit and no body in my family has never known anything about it i used every thing alcohol chewing miraa using marijuana all those but the day i call it quit i said to my self enough is enough and i must change,i took a step of faith i went to church and i was delivered and from that day until now have never stepd in a bar again ,there is a God
Amen Amen ... awesome testimony ,🙌
Congratulations
Congratulations girl I pray that you focus on the future 😘
@@willhector9478 thanks mammy 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hallelujah
I love her oratory skills, yani she can keep you engaged all day. Her story will definitely help many people.
True that. Her voice is so engaging.
The hero here is her Dad. What a lovely picture of God the Father. Such unending, relentless love. ❤️
And Carol, you are also a champion. Sharing your story so candidly, so unashamedly. You have helped so many. All the best in your sobriety. Strong woman you are ❤️
Loving this conversation. Even in Salvation, we are still human beings. The greatest fear is being judged at the very place we would go to seek refuge and guidance.
💯
The church is deemed not to be doing enough to combat addictions. As a church worker,I'd like to learn of interventions that the church can embrace so as to do better.Kindly share
I was a bhang addict for a good ten years, I chewed miraa and later graduated to muguka for close to ten years, o was drinking heavily for some years and all these years I was a teacher. The Lord heard my cry and delivered me. I am a born again christian now for 7years. Addiction is real. Let's speak and encourage those going through the same or those who have just stopped and don't know how to go about it.
Carol our CNBC Days in Johannesburg my goodness! That's how we became friends and I didn't even know you were dealing with all this. Anyway, I'm proud of the person you have become today and your story is amazing! What a testimony! God bless you more!
I love how she owns her story and is not scared to tell it.I aspire to be on this level one day
Any addiction Starts with just a sip or a puff... let's keenly listen to her and let her life experiences be a lesson to us. Jifunze kitu kutokana na hii story ya Carol Kagia.
That part where she pronounces blessings on her dad is a real tear-jerker! I felt like thanking him for being the kind of dad she could (and did!) run back to. Thank you Ms Kagia for sharing your story, and for lifting others!
Thank you Carol for being strong and brave to share your story... We appreciate you Lynn for hosting her
I have watched Carol for 3times ,, can't get enough of the truth in her story,,,keep winning Carol,,,good job Lynn
I love Carol Kagia😍💕she's such a brilliant woman.
Addiction is a desease. Addicts needs help not crucification.
And then people will glorify taking alcohol and then they question some of us who never drink thinking we are the ones with a problem.growing up I watched my dad battle alcholism and it really took a toll on my mum. Being a first born I saw the pain she went through, they later separated, we suffered with no school fees, rent etc. As he used to spend all of it buying alcohol. Years later my dad is 9 years sober, looks much better and I'm happy that his life turned around for good.
Cheeeeiiii Carol!! You are re-telling my story! I was A SUPER ALCOHOLIC I tried 🚬 in school I failed completely failed!! So I never smoked anything I only boozed hands down!! My tolerance with alcohol was highhh too i would tank a crate of beer. All over hung-outs.
.I'm also the 1st born, born and grew up from a born again family my dad a bishop. Liquor plus too much beers makes you look olddd kabisa I had darkened too, i aged terriblyyy but if you look at me today cheeei im glowing and I give my children my all.
There is freedom in sobriety.
I strongly admire the kind of father you have. He never gave up on you.
Thanks, Carol for being so bold to address this monster of alcoholism. You see addiction is a disease. I myself have struggled with quitting sugar. I laughed at a thought the other day thinking, "Am I not an addict in one way?" I've had withdrawal symptoms of quitting sugar, yes sugar from headache to anger and all that. When one knows better, one ought to do better.
Thank you Caroline and Lynn, this has been such an intense hour and a half! Wueh! God is surely able and willing to help anyone and everyone. Do not write anyone off. Speak life. Make Holy Spirit your best friend..
1)Real parents never abandon their children no matter the situation .
Take home lesson for today
Wow! What a story! More power to you Caroline in your journey in freedom. I hope every man and woman who's going through the same struggle in alcohol will hear this story and seek help. Thank you Lynn for highlighting this issue of alcoholism. There are many kinds of addictions, there are Christians (believers i.e) who're suffering from addiction to pornography also.
I commend Crossroads Fellowship Church in Mbsa who started a programme (CR) in 2018 that dealt with addictions, I don't know if it's still operational. But, yes the Church has been so lazy at dealing with REAL issues.
Here's how I rationalise... I only drink black label. I will never sink to her level...you should know the post I hold, I'm struggling but yet everyone thinks I'm so good. My dad is my hero too, I guess he suspects but loves me too much to tell mum. My hubby has realised and has started managing my activities but walevi...I hide so much from him. I will consider rehab Ngai...but in secret. Guys will be shocked.
I found out that some habits are walked out after salvation. Some habits may go away instantly , that makes the difference between a miracle and a blessing.
To have a miracle you need to be in a crisis. A miracle cannot be duplicated or passed on and to experiencea miracle one wouldneed to walk from crisis to crisis. . A blessing on the other hand is a lot like a formula and one can help other people in similar situations when they are operating out of a blessing.
No wonder we are blessed to be a blessing.
Carol walked out her freedom and she is able to help other people.
'Kenyan salvation' is one that expects believers to change immediately after the salvation prayer. It is discouraging when a person trips. They feel like they are beyond help. God really wants us to experience his best and meets each of us at our point of need in His way.
Mapema ndo best,let's learn guys and we really appreciate Team LNS for bringing this amazing story.
Welcome home Florence❤️❤️
This thing about "kupiga Sheree"is really killing us Youths and as a Nation...I mean 20 to 30 years to come where will we be...
Alcoholism is the root cause of poverty and broken homes in kenya.
I understand how to be in church yet struggling with addiction..it's not easy 😢but God is good I got delivered!
I'll never get tired of hearing Carol's story on all platforms... She's funny, so real and inspiring... I could just hear Donnie McClurkin "We fall down but we get up" "for a saint is just a sinner who fell down... and got up" "Get back up again"
Right!? I know I have watched her on Engage but still sounds new
That (high school?) friend of hers was such bad influence.. mara smoke cigarettes, mara go sleep with some guy and I'll gift you a bottle of wine, etc etc
It's called peer pressure and everyone goes through that in childhood and adult hood, the important thing is you as an individual know yourself enough to not listen to that pressure.
Nobody is talking how Lynn is soo HARDWORKING❣ Nifikisheni 1k guys only 50 to go please 💕💯💥💫
Listening to Carol and I say praise God . My brother has been struggling with the same ,started taking alcohol in 2018 at age 34 , through bad influence ,so at times he's like I quit 🙅🙅♀️. I pray God visits him .
My brother too. He lost his job, family, car and moved back to shags
God is good. "I can do all things trough Christ who strengthening me"🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
You're awesome ❤️ beautiful and encouraging 🙏
Thank you for sharing this😊
Ndo namalizia kuwatch, now lunch break, no matter how busy your kindly find time to watch what LNN is doing.🙏✌️ Sending love to all survivors of addiction 🙏💯
Thank you Lyn, am Aidah from Uganda and I enjoy your talk shows. Carol you're such a great vessel that God is using to change His people.
Somebody once said that, our "weaknesses" are our greatest strengths because those weaknesses transform into books, podcasts, talk shows, careers and many more
This is clearly evidenced by Ms. Kagia
So, appreciate your weaknesses and transform them to strengths.
1 Corinthians 15:33
So stop fooling yourselves! Evil companions will corrupt good morals and character
Who your friends with in life matters
She’s a great story teller 😅 - Power to Her 🙏🏽
Indeed she is
I could wrap her up ♥️
I feel sorry to say this, my mom has been struggling with the same for the longest time but I pray that one day God will turn around her life 🥺🥺
He will,God saved my dad when he was drowning in alcohol.Alikuwa anapita tu karibu na crusade ilikuwa inafanywa kwa center yetu.
@@quinterarembe9547 I'm so happy for you and your dad. Indeed God can change any situation 🙏
This lady brought me to tears. Her Dad reminds me of my Dad he loved me this much but passed away
I'm so sorry to hear that. Hugs
Wooiye first borns kiyo 🪞 ya jamii may God help us 🤗
The way Carol owns her story is superb. Lynn, you look wonderful. The colour of your dress... weeee! It gives you an aura of freshness, calmness and grace
True
sis Host allow your family to visit real Nairobi Chokoraa aliomoka by grace, walai this topic imenichapa generational curse.Mzae ali manyuria Cham, guka, uncles and my 30 year old bro,Lord deliver us
Having been brought up in a home of an alcoholic father i have seen first hand what an alcohol addiction can do and how it can destroy families.
Same ...waaa it's a struggle
Can't get tired of listening to this girl she is so real
Tuned. This is a wake up call to this generation
I'm alcoholic here in America for many years but God is coming through for me.I went through the whole year without it but i just relapsed recently after visiting my village in kisii. Their is a devil in that family but i will not let it destroy my life. God have mercy on us.
Sad thing about addiction is until you are hooked completely is when u realized wait i can't get out, then the admitting that ur are addicted is another huddle
She's reminded me of Zanze
Had watched you before on shared moments and I can't help it but do it here again...your narration is on another level🤣🤣🤣
I have watched Carol(namsie0 on several occasions and I feel so proud of her. She had to go through it so as to serve her purpose in helping alcoholics/drug abusers to conquer. Caroline means "strong". Love you namesake !!
She is such a strong soul:)
Ooh nice!! It explains a lot! I've a friend called Carol, she's been through so much, I even tell her am strong but her level of strong is in another level, and she always has a smile and a kind word for everyone. An awesome soul!
O
I just found out that my name means strong 😅 I am super strong and resilient - tired of being strong though.
Carol I being an alcohol lover I understand you well from your stories I can relate thanks God he delivered me also from alcoholism 🙏💜💜💜💜💜
Hi Lynn Ngugi and your guest, watching from Kansas 🇺🇲
This is the interview i’ve been waiting for. Thanks Lynn for bringing Caro
Wow.After this convo,i support the law on bars n joints in this city n others.We must creat a safe haven for generations to come.Thanks Carol
Apart from praying for people the church should be Empathic❤️
You mean empathetic. But I get your point. It's strange how many churches lack empathy... they're in the business of judging. Jesus was a very empathetic guy -- he associated with rejects
I take my correction back. Looks like empathic is a word. I had no idea. It must be newish because it wasn't in use prior to this century
Also for addicted person out there "THE CHANGE STARTS WITH YOURSELF from your heart"
Such a story ..I pray that one day my brother will change 😭😭😭
This girl anaongea maisha ya watu wengi sana' weeeeh; nashangaa vile anakumbuka every detal
No excuse for traumatizing kids. If you are carrying your own issues and cannot care for kids DON’T have them. Hakuna story ya she raised you how she knew best. And you too traumatizing your kids. Unforgivable
This is what we call I own my story 🙄🙄🙄😔
lYNN that dress looks good on you! you look absolutely Amanzing!🌹🌹🌹
Thank you Lyn for this story it's going to help many people
This is second time listening to this story and I cannot get enough of it,we are all battling different kind of battle but afraid to talk about them not to be judged by society
Mee too
I pray one day to sit with you Lynn and tell you my story
Thanks Lynn this show is so helpful to our teenagers
Haki pombe wewe hukufanyia Carol poa those days but God is faithful he preserved your life 🙏🙌
Watching this made me cry, sad and happy tears. Hope my brother will one day realise what he’s doing to himself. About genuine rehabilitation centres in Kenya, it’s true that not all are genuine. Have pumped so much money into my brother’s recovery but no joy. It’s sad seeing him like this. My mum has been called on so many occasions even at night so wasted and blacked out.
I love this lady. Thank you for your honesty.
I love the shout out to her Dad, blessing on you Carol.
God will use your story to help and lift those who are struggling.caro is a very good story teller, and am very glad how her parents NEVER gave up on Her .God is a God of second chance 🙏
Childhood Trauma can create diseases(s) in Adulthood💋💕
Some partners or friend will take advantage of your Lowest situations to mistreat you or abuse you 😓😫
Love you Carol for telling your story. Your storytelling is outta of this world. Made me laugh, but learnt.
Shout out to Aaron. let him donate the value of the doors he gongad you to charity. otherwise........
@@AM-sx3iu the shylock who bought about 10 mahogany/MDF doors for 500bob. he shouldn't get away with that impunity.
My beautiful Caro, as housemates all those years ago and this journey till now. We can only give Glory to God, He was always in the details even when we didn't realize it. You are God's Jeremiah 29:11 personified and indeed He has called you to be a Prophet unto the nations.
Big hugs to your dad. He never gave up on you
To God be the Glory🙏🏼Thank you Lord for Lynn she is such a Blessing to us🙏🏼❤
Carol you are so beautiful and funny. You are a really good motivational speaker. Guess what! Those who said you are not beautiful because of your 👁️ I tell you what! Those eyes are the reason you are getting these jobs. That’s what attracts people or the employers love them watch most of the reporters in these big TV’s have big eyes Second of all I loved when you said wamuyota 😀 by the way , the reason someone looks old after alcoholism it’s because our skin has nicotine
Carol you are a strong lady seeing that you didn't cry all through the video like the man who came here before God got you and you are a walking testimony to many 🙏🙏.
I love her story I’m glad she turned her ways 🥰
I saw this story at another channel I cried but when I saw on fb she will be here I said I hv to watch it again n again
Love you Carol strong n proud of how strong you are
its not damaging to the melanin, by the time your skin is gettin lighter (kumiuka) from alcoholism, its liver damage manifesting on the skin-its Jaundice. Juu wadau wengine wakiskia hivo watafikilia ni poa kulewa kuliko kupaka mikologo uso
Carol you are one of a kind you’re beautiful 🤩
Thanks for sharing. I identity with your story(Coming from a Christian family, loving God attending church and doing service)Then later drinking 🍸 and hitting the lowest rock-bottom bottom 🙏. Also in recovery (12step)
Congratulations 🎊 Caro
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 keep going!
Wao wao!! Carol is so blessed. She has come out here to narrate her own journey of what alcoholism does! Many people won't do this for fear, their own ego e.t.c!
May God open so many doors for you Carol! Mr Kagia, Carol's dad really supported her my my the dad is a hero!! The other fathers should learn from Mr Kagia! What a brilliant father he is and he has been! God bless you Mr Kagia for not letting go of your daughter.
Thank you Lynn for this story so timely, educative and an eye opener. Carol my namesake Carol means strong and you're a strong lady,that was a bold step you've taken to share your story God bless you for that and may you grow to greater heights, to be a change maker in this country and to the ends of the earth. Sherehe si lazima kukunywa pombe no, but sherehe yaweza pigwa na soda na juices. Kwa God ndio mambo yote na ni raha tupu.
Carol is an amazing woman. Big heart and ready to conquer territories. I love her with all my heart. I now know why we didn't have a pianist at BSF Ngong on Monday.
Hello Lynn you are looking great God bless you for the amazing job My role model ♥️
Kindly Lynn ask caro the contacts for the rehab facility.have a relative who needs it.thanks in advance
Hey LNN family
I'm the first one today to comment
I'm happy🥰
Being addicted to anything is the worst thing and feeling ever..I pray than I never get addicted to anything, and to my Sons as well 🙏🙏..may God heal our generation 🙏🙏 at some point I think our country could go far if our youth can be saved from alcoholism..so far that's the thing I had made me love Saudi..even if some people are taking it.. it's illegal here.. with all the wisdom with people in our country..we could go far..I have been around addicted people so I know and understand what Carol is taking about
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY LEGENDARY DIRECTOR EDWIN OCHIENG 💯🎊🎉
