Name: Kathy

Age: 56

Sober Since: 12 / 01 / 1989

Sober For: 34 Years & 149 Days

What it was like?

I was a blackout drinker and cocaine addict and I couldn’t stop. I was full of shame and I wanted to die.

What happened?

I attempted suicide and I ended up in treatment for three months. I was told in treatment to get outside help for my sexual abuse trauma and I’m very grateful that I did. I don’t think I would’ve stayed sober without doing the painful work. I’ve had continuous sobriety since I picked up my White chip

What it is like now?

My life is beyond anything I could’ve imagined it to be. It’s been a lot of painful work but so worth it. I’m beyond grateful for the 12 steps of AA, sponsorship, sexual abuse therapy and not giving up one day at a time.
