Cass' Journey: From the Depths of Addiction to the Heights of Recovery

I was completely okay with not waking up, you know. And so, um, and it's funny because tomorrow, um, I actually have a court date.
Cass takes the spotlight in this episode of 'The Terminally Unique Podcast', sharing her raw and honest journey from addiction to recovery. Hosted by Dean Wright and Diva Arias, this episode delves into the complexities of getting sober, especially during the isolating times of a pandemic. Cass opens up about her struggles with alcoholism, starting from her high school years and escalating when she moved to Silver Lake, where liquor was easily accessible.
She paints a vivid picture of her life, revealing how she used alcohol to escape her problems, often drinking before work and finding herself unable to be anywhere that didn’t involve alcohol. Cass' story takes a dark turn as she recounts a day filled with drinking and taking sleeping pills, hoping not to wake up. Her mother’s intervention call was a pivotal moment, highlighting the crucial role of family support in her path to sobriety.
Despite hitting rock bottom, Cass found the strength to seek treatment and start her recovery journey. Throughout the episode, Cass discusses the importance of finding a higher power and working through the steps, even though she was initially reluctant. She emphasizes how sober living environments and therapy played significant roles in her recovery. Cass' candidness about her struggles and triumphs offers hope and inspiration to anyone facing similar battles.
Whether you’re in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, Cass' story is a testament to the power of resilience and the importance of a strong support system. Tune in for an episode filled with heartfelt moments, practical advice, and a reminder that recovery is possible, one day at a time.
