"I drank because I had to. I didn't drink because I wanted to."
What drives someone to seek a life without alcohol? In this episode, Kat G. shares her rollercoaster journey from a tumultuous childhood in Tennessee to finding solace in Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). Growing up in a family where drinking was as common as Sunday church, Kat's early years were marked by chaos and dysfunction. She recounts how alcohol initially seemed like a ticket to freedom, but quickly turned into a trap that led her to some dark places.
Despite trying to control her drinking for a decade, Kat found herself spiralling out of control. With humour and raw honesty, Kat describes her turning point—realising she needed help and finding her way to AA. The episode is filled with anecdotes of her early sobriety struggles, including the colourful characters she met along the way, like her first sponsor who was as flawed as she was supportive.
Kat's story is a testament to the power of community and the 12-step programme in transforming lives. Listeners will be inspired by Kat's resilience and the profound changes she made, which include going back to college, mending family relationships, and eventually finding love. Her story is a reminder that recovery is not just about quitting alcohol but rediscovering oneself and building a life worth living. So, what does it take to turn one's life around after addiction?
Kat's journey might just have the answers.
