Kate Losser: From Isolation to a Vibrant Life in Recovery
I get to do that sober. Now, sometimes, what do we say on the show Casey? As a psychologist, a therapist myself, I know the importance of connection to help a person change.
What happens when a passion for dance collides with the numbing effects of alcohol? For Kate Losser, it led to a journey filled with highs and lows, ultimately bringing her to a place of healing and purpose. In this episode of 'Project Recovery', Kate sits down with Casey Scott and Dr. Matt Woolley to recount her story, starting from her first sip of alcohol to the dark days of isolation and addiction.
As a teenager, Kate turned to alcohol to cope with anxiety, which only intensified after she dropped out of college at 21 due to osteoarthritis from a longboarding accident. This period marked the beginning of a downward spiral, pushing her deeper into addiction and leading to two months of drinking in complete isolation. But Kate's story doesn't end there. Her decision to seek treatment at Brighton Recovery Center was a turning point.
There, she learned valuable lessons about recovery and the importance of community support. Now, as a Program Coordinator and Fitness Assistant at Fit To Recover, Kate has found a new lease on life. She talks about how the supportive environment at Fit To Recover helped her rebuild her life and find a positive community. This episode is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of seeking help.
Kate's story is a beacon of hope for anyone struggling with addiction, showing that recovery is possible with determination and the right support system.
