Girrrl Power: Nadine and Catherine's Path to Sobriety and Strength

Emotional growth begins when drinking and drug use halt, is a statement oft heard in the rooms of AA. It goes a long way to explaining the childish behavior of adult alcoholics, or, in the case of Nadine and Catherine, the maturity of two young women who’d entered AA before they were legally entitled to drink.
Ever wondered what it’s like to confront addiction before you're even legally allowed to drink? Meet Nadine and Catherine, two remarkable young women who did just that. In this episode of 'Lovely Creatures', hosts Drew and Emma dive into the compelling stories of these two friends who joined AA at a tender age. Their conversation isn’t just a recounting of hardships; it's a testament to resilience and growth.
Nadine and Catherine open up about their harrowing experiences with sexual abuse, gang life, and teenage pregnancy. Yet, what stands out is their maturity and wisdom, traits they've honed through their journey in recovery. They talk about how putting an end to drinking and drug use sparked their emotional growth, transforming them from troubled teens into wise young adults. Their stories highlight the importance of friendship and mentorship in AA.
Nadine and Catherine emphasize how these relationships have been crucial in their recovery process. From learning to trust again to finding mentors who guide them through the rough patches, their journey is a powerful reminder that you're never too young to start healing. This episode is a raw, emotional ride but also incredibly inspiring. Drew and Emma manage to keep the tone light-hearted at times, making it a balanced listen.
If you or someone you know is navigating the rough waters of addiction, or if you're simply interested in stories of human resilience, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in to hear how Nadine and Catherine turned their lives around and found strength in sobriety.
