Singer-turned-lifestyle coach Kush Tracey has marked a powerful milestone—three years of sobriety—with a deeply emotional reflection on healing, faith, and personal restoration.
In a heartfelt message shared on Instagram on Sunday, December 28, 2025, the rapper opened up about a journey that, she says, goes far beyond simply putting down substances. For Kush, sobriety represents the reclaiming of her identity, her freedom, and her wholeness.
She revealed that walking away from alcohol, vaping, cigarettes, bhang, khat, pills, and other substances was not born out of sudden strength, but from a moment of painful honesty—finally confronting wounds she had long tried to escape.
“Today marks 3 years since I lay down the alcohol, vapes/sheesha, cigarettes, bhang, khat, pills, ecstasy/molly & kuber at the foot of the cross✝️,” she wrote.
Kush Tracey shared that what once appeared as rebellion, recklessness, addiction, and promiscuity were never her true self, but survival mechanisms—ways to numb unresolved emotional pain.
She explained that true healing only began when she stopped running from that pain and instead cried out for help.
“I didn’t quit because I was suddenly strong—nope. I began breaking and healing when I became honest about my pain and asked the one true healer for help. These behaviours were never my identity; they were simply ways to escape my deepest wounds💔.”
Through her recovery, Kush says she gained a profound psychological understanding of addiction—realising that pain left unprocessed will always seek relief, and when that relief is repeatedly chased, it can quietly turn into bondage.
“When pain goes unprocessed, it looks for relief😮💨—and relief, when repeated, can become a chain, a stronghold in one’s life ⛓️💥.”
Spiritually, she came to an even deeper revelation. What she once thought was running away from God was, in truth, a desperate search for love, comfort, and acceptance in all the wrong places.
“I wasn’t running from God—I was searching for unconditional love elsewhere. How can we truly know love if we do not know God, when God is love?”
Kush was candid that freedom did not come overnight. It unfolded slowly—through humility, accountability, support systems, firm boundaries, renewal of the mind, and daily grace.
She emphasised that her transformation was not sustained by shame or condemnation, but by restoration.
“Freedom didn’t come overnight. It came through humility, support, boundaries, renewing my mind, and God’s grace meeting me daily—not condemning me, but restoring me.”
As she marked three years sober, Kush turned her message outward, speaking directly to anyone still battling addiction or inner turmoil. She urged them not to define themselves by their struggles or believe they are beyond hope.
“If you’re still fighting💪🏾—you are not weak, you are not broken, and you are not too far gone.”
She concluded by stressing that her sobriety is not a personal trophy, but a living testimony of freedom made possible through faith.
“Three years sober is not my achievement—it’s my freedom through Christ. And if God can do this for me, you can trust that He can do it for you too. He loves you just as much and wants to see you set free🤍.”
