Katrina doesn't shy away from discussing the stigma tied to alcoholism and how it impacted her life.
She emphasizes the importance of self-education in her recovery journey, saying, 'It's talking to people outside the meetings, which you've done with your sponsor with me and others, and then reading and learning as much- and that's what I did in early recovery- is I tried to learn absolutely as much as I could about this disease'. Whether you're in recovery or supporting someone who is, Katrina's story offers valuable insights and encouragement.
