We have the ability, sober and in recovery, to step back and see the gratefulness in something and see the positive in it, and that there's solution, and that to get out of myself, help someone else.
Imagine losing everything to something as seemingly harmless as a glass of wine. For Cathy, wine wasn't just a drink; it became a destructive force that led her down a path of loss and despair. In this gripping episode of 'Escaping Rock Bottom', host Brandon Lee sits down with Cathy, who candidly shares her harrowing journey from addiction to recovery. Once a casual wine drinker, Cathy found herself spiraling into alcoholism, eventually losing her job and home.
She hit rock bottom, scrubbing toilets just to have a place to sleep at night. But Cathy's story doesn't end there. Now 20 years sober and a licensed therapist, she uses her experiences to help others find their way out of the darkness. Throughout the episode, Brandon and Cathy explore the deep-seated trauma that often fuels addiction. They discuss how untreated trauma can manifest in destructive behaviors and the importance of addressing these root causes for genuine recovery.
Cathy's transformation from a struggling addict to a beacon of hope for others underscores the power of resilience and the human spirit. Brandon also shares his own insights on the role of gratitude in recovery, emphasizing that helping others can be a powerful tool for staying sober. This episode isn't just about Cathy's story; it's a testament to the strength found in vulnerability and the hope that recovery brings.
Whether you're battling addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, Cathy's journey offers a powerful reminder that it's never too late to turn your life around.
