Doesn’t it feel like in order to get sober, we need to smash all the ideas we had about ourselves and the world around us? I know it did for us. Along with that, we had to admit that we were wrong about some things- a lot of things. But once we started believing that we could get sober, we realized anything was possible!

This week’s topic is inspired by our warstory from Cathie! From an early age, Cathie always gravitated towards the party lifestyle. Hear what it took for her to realize she needed to change, and how once she began getting hope in sobriety, that hope spread to all other aspects of her life. 

Thanks Cathie for sharing your story and allowing us to speak about our topic!
