It's National Sober Day and Kathy is telling her "getting and staying sober" story in the hopes it inspires others. When did she start drinking and how much did she drink? How and why did she quit? And, how has she remained sober for 20 years? Tune in to hear all the details including how she was a black out drinker and how that only got worse over time, the crazy things she did while blacked out and how those things effected her, all the sex and sabotage that came with her drinking, how and why it brought the worst out in her, her bottom and how she felt when she hit it, how she went to AA in the beginning anyhow and why it was important for her then, how and why she stopped aa and how she remained sober without it, the issues that came up the minute she stopped drinking and how she dealt with them, her first year of sobriety and how and why she made so many mistakes, how she eventually realized why she was drinking so much in the first place and what she did to work on herself, how hard it was at first and the one tool she uses to this day to stay sober, how things got easier over time and how becoming sober completely, changed her life for the better plus a whole lot more. **To see anonymous pics of my female guests + hear anonymous confessions + get all the episodes early and AD FREE, join my Patreon!
