That meeting changed my life. That meeting really changed my life because I had done NA. And starting when I started going to HA, it really completely changed my life. And yeah, so that was my home group.
Imagine hitting rock bottom, only to rise stronger than ever. That’s the journey of Kat Sorenson, also known as SoCal Kat, who shares her compelling story on this episode of 'Chasing Heroine: Addiction Recovery Podcast'. Hosted by Jeannine Coulter Lindgren, Kat opens up about her battle with alcoholism and cocaine abuse that spanned over a decade. But it’s not just about quitting substances; Kat dives deep into what she calls 'emotional sobriety', a concept that goes beyond just staying clean.
Kat, now the CEO and founder of Dual Diagnosis Detox/Rehab Laguna Shores Recovery, didn’t have a smooth start in her sobriety journey. She recounts the whirlwind decision to marry another newcomer just two weeks into her recovery, highlighting the chaotic early days of trying to find stability. Throughout the episode, Kat and Jeannine discuss the importance of authenticity and how blurring boundaries in treatment can sometimes be necessary for real healing.
They also touch on the power of the 12-step program and how taking contrary action—doing the opposite of what your instincts might tell you—can be transformative. Kat’s raw honesty and willingness to share her vulnerabilities make this episode a must-listen for anyone on their own path to recovery or supporting someone who is. So, if you’re looking for a story that’s as real as it gets, filled with both struggles and triumphs, tune in.
Kat’s journey from the depths of addiction to becoming a beacon of hope for others is nothing short of inspiring.
