I have to work against that every day, because that's where my disease wants. Especially in New York City, there are so many meetings. You can always plug in and get connected with somebody.
Kate's journey into addiction began shockingly early. Picture this: a young girl at a Saint Patrick’s Day family gathering, taking her first drink at just 13 or 14. By 16, she had already fallen in love with heroin, snorting and smoking it with a sense of reckless abandon. This episode of Steppin' Out Radio dives into Kate's harrowing tale of addiction and her path to recovery.
Despite multiple stints in rehab, it wasn't until she hit rock bottom that she found what she calls 'the gift of desperation'. This moment became her turning point, leading her to get clean and sober at the age of 19. Now, two years into her sobriety, Kate is a living example that recovery is possible, no matter how young you are.
But it's not all smooth sailing; she battles loneliness and isolation daily, yet finds strength in the numerous support meetings available in New York City. Tune in to hear Kate's powerful story and discover the hope that comes with recovery.
