  • Sharing inventory with a sponsor aids in recognising unhealthy behaviours.

There's something about admitting our grosser defects of character that is very powerful.
Katherine C, the host of SoberQ, opens up about her journey towards sobriety, sharing her experiences from getting sober at 25 in Melbourne to maintaining a life free from alcohol for 28 years. She tackles the critical question of how one becomes willing to change, linking it to the sixth step of Alcoholics Anonymous. Katherine recounts the transformative power of admitting one's character defects, reflecting on the importance of inventory writing and sharing these insights with a sponsor.
Her narrative is a candid exploration of how recognising unhealthy behaviours and making amends can pave the way for genuine change. Katherine's story is not just about quitting alcohol but embracing a healthier lifestyle and mindset. With humour and honesty, she shares how she was 'sick and tired of being sick and tired', which fuelled her determination to stay sober.
Her willingness to change wasn't just a fleeting thought; it was a conscious decision backed by actions such as making amends and attending meetings. If you're curious about how someone can turn their life around and maintain sobriety for nearly three decades, Katherine's story offers inspiration and practical insights. Dive into this episode to understand how acknowledging your past can be the first step towards a brighter future.
