The big thing that I took away from Kathy is, and the whole thing that kept me sick was honesty, and it wasn't even that I was being dishonest with other people, as I was dishonest with myself.
Imagine growing up in a home where both parents are alcoholics. That's the reality Cathy Holmes faced. In this episode of 'Let The Journey Begin', Jason Wahler and Alex sit down with Jason’s Aunt Cathy to explore her harrowing journey through addiction. Cathy opens up about her early life, marked by the chaos of untreated substance abuse at home. Desperate to escape, she married young, only to find herself in another cycle of trauma and addiction.
Cathy's story is one of resilience. She candidly shares how her teenage experiments with drugs and alcohol spiraled into a dependency that followed her into adulthood. Her marriage, intended as an escape, became another source of pain and abuse, pushing her further into addiction. A turning point came after a severe car accident while under the influence, which made Cathy realize she needed help. For over three decades, Cathy has been on a journey to sobriety.
Her story underscores the importance of addressing underlying traumas and being honest in the recovery process. Jason and Alex create a supportive space for Cathy to share her experiences, making this episode relatable for anyone who has faced similar struggles. Cathy’s narrative is a powerful reminder that recovery is possible, no matter how deep the wounds. Her words offer hope and encouragement to those battling addiction, emphasizing that change is within reach.
