Love and god needs to go in before it comes out.
Imagine battling addiction before you're even old enough to vote. Catherine's story is a gripping account of a young life turned upside down by cocaine and alcohol. At just 14, she found herself in the throes of addiction, a path that led to unimaginable pain and suffering. Growing up in a conservative Catholic home, she was surrounded by alcoholism and learned early on to hide her true self.
By 17, Catherine made the brave decision to get sober, a choice that would change her life forever. Now, at 31, she shares her remarkable journey on the 'Keep Coming Back Podcast'. Catherine talks about how she filled the void in her heart first with books, then swimming, and eventually alcohol. But today, that gap is filled with love and the support of the fellowship.
She dives deep into her spirituality, describing how her understanding of herself and her Higher Power—LOVE—continues to evolve. Catherine also opens up about the trauma she endured and how recovery helped her heal. She highlights the importance of mindfulness and gratitude in her daily life, which have brought her peace and joy in sobriety. Her candid discussion about the role of sponsors showcases the crucial support system that guided her through her darkest times.
Catherine's story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of recovery. Whether you're struggling with addiction, supporting someone who is, or simply love a good comeback story, this episode offers a wealth of inspiration and practical insights.
