Cass V shares her powerful journey of sobriety at 'A Woman's Perspective' meeting in this episode of Sober Cast. Sobriety since 1990, Cass recounts her early days in Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) in upstate New York, where support for women was scarce. She vividly describes the challenges she faced, including the lack of female sponsors and the superficial approach to recovery that many women encountered.
Cass's story is both raw and relatable as she explains how she found her way through the AA programme with the help of a dedicated sponsor who pushed her to read and internalise the 'Big Book'. Her anecdotes about the hardships of maintaining sobriety and the importance of working the steps highlight the resilience required to stay sober. Cass also touches on her struggles with relationships, particularly with her children, emphasising how alcohol distorted her thinking and actions.
Through humour and honesty, she illustrates the transformative power of AA’s 12-step programme and the necessity of a spiritual solution to combat alcoholism. Cass's candid reflections on her journey make this episode a must-listen for anyone seeking inspiration and practical advice on staying sober.
