Recovery to me, giving up alcohol, I didn't give up anything. I gained. When I stopped drinking alcohol, all I did was succeed.
Kate Taylor's story begins with a heartfelt message she recorded on December 20th, 2021. In this raw and emotional moment, her 'drunk self' pleaded with her 'sober self' to quit drinking. This powerful cry for help marked the beginning of her journey to sobriety. Having started drinking at just 14, Kate spent two decades consuming alcohol almost daily, influenced by her Great Gatsby-esque upbringing filled with parties and a culture that normalized drinking.
In this episode, Kate sits down with Ron Isherwood to discuss her transformation from a heavy drinker to a passionate advocate for sobriety.

She passionately argues that 'alcohol is a poison' and emphasizes the profound changes that come with sobriety.
Kate's story is a beacon of hope for anyone struggling with addiction, showcasing that it's never too late to change and find happiness without alcohol. Tune in to hear about the strength it takes to overcome addiction and the importance of community support in maintaining a sober lifestyle.
