I know that I'm born for something different than this, and I was in my addiction, and so it was like I was constantly like reaching for other things.
Imagine achieving success in your career and fitness goals, yet feeling an unshakeable restlessness. This was Kat Sorensen's reality. Despite her accomplishments in software sales and bodybuilding, Kat found herself living in extremes, always chasing the next high. Her story takes a remarkable turn when a friend's suggestion to attend AA leads to a complete transformation she never anticipated. Now, Kat is the CEO of Laguna Shores Treatment Centre, where she dedicates her life to helping others overcome their addictions.
Kat's journey wasn't straightforward. She experimented with various drugs, including molly and adderall, and even faced moments of contemplating suicide. The turning point came when she reluctantly attended an AA meeting. Through working the steps and embracing spirituality, Kat discovered a life beyond her wildest dreams. Her experience underscores the transformative power of AA and the importance of focusing on giving rather than receiving in recovery.
One of the most powerful aspects of Kat's story is her emphasis on making amends and repairing past relationships. Reaching out to a former coworker to make things right was one of the scariest yet most rewarding actions she took. This act of courage ultimately led to the creation of Laguna Shores Treatment Centre. Additionally, Kat highlights the importance of guiding other women through the recovery steps, not just completing them herself.
This approach has given her a deeper sense of purpose and fulfillment. Kat's story is a testament to hope and resilience. It's a reminder that recovery is possible for anyone willing to put in the work. Her journey from addiction to becoming a treatment centre CEO illustrates the profound impact of focusing on giving back and helping others in their recovery journeys.
