I was going to do the steps that didn't have God in them and skip those bits. I mocked people that believed in God, turned things over. Yeah, I thought, I just thought it was for weak people and uneducated people.
Picture this: a life filled with glamorous diplomatic parties, world travels, and humanitarian missions. That was Kassie M.'s reality, but behind the scenes, she was battling a growing dependence on alcohol. In this gripping episode of 'AA Recovery Interviews', Kassie shares her raw and honest journey from a high-functioning alcoholic to celebrating seven years of sobriety in Nairobi, Kenya.
Raised in a world where alcohol was as common as water, Kassie learned early on to navigate social events with a drink in hand. Her years in America during high school and college only solidified her drinking habits. As she climbed the career ladder in various humanitarian organizations, she managed to control her surroundings but not her addiction. The tipping point came when her drinking led to repeated negative consequences, forcing her to confront the harsh realities of her alcoholism.
By 2017, Kassie had reached a breaking point and found solace in Alcoholics Anonymous. With the guidance of a dedicated sponsor and the support of the 12 Steps, she began to rebuild her life. Her story is one of resilience, self-awareness, and spiritual growth. Through candid discussions about her past, career, and personal evolution, Kassie offers hope and inspiration to anyone facing similar struggles.
This episode isn't just about overcoming addiction; it's about finding the strength to transform your life against all odds.
