Catya's Journey: From Prescription Pills to Sober Living

I don't know when I'm going to stop, you know, I don't know if I'm going to end up pantsless in another state. I've actually talked to plenty of non-alcoholic friends, and I mean that isn't, that isn't their experience.
Ever think about how early life experiences can shape our future choices? Catya’s story is a poignant reminder. At just ten years old, she was introduced to prescription pain medication to manage her physical ailments. But what started as a medical necessity soon became a way to cope with more than just physical pain. By fourteen, she was drinking and smoking pot, and by fifteen, she found herself at her first AA meeting.
In this episode of Steppin' Out Radio, Catya opens up about her tumultuous journey through addiction and the path she took to find sobriety. Her story highlights the constant battle with willpower and the struggle to control her substance use. Despite her best efforts, she couldn't quit on her own. It wasn't until she found the support of Alcoholics Anonymous and the 12-step program that she began to see a way out.
One of the most compelling aspects of Catya’s journey is the power of honesty and human connection. By sharing her experiences and being vulnerable, she found a sense of belonging and purpose that was crucial to her recovery. Her story is a testament to the importance of community support in overcoming addiction. Catya's tale serves as a beacon of hope for anyone grappling with addiction.
Her transformation from a young girl struggling with prescription pills to a sober individual living with grace and dignity is truly inspiring. Tune in to hear Catya's powerful story and other real-life accounts of recovery on Steppin' Out Radio. Remember, no matter how tough the journey may seem, there is always hope for a brighter tomorrow.
