What happens when faith meets addiction recovery? Kat's story is a powerful testament to finding freedom through both spiritual awakening and the 12-step program. With raw honesty, she shares her journey from teenage drinking to maintaining a decade of sobriety—revealing the complex dance between faith, fellowship, and personal accountability.
Kat takes us through her early years when alcohol first made her feel comfortable in her own skin, through her development of a "double life" as a high-achieving student who partied in secret. Her story pivots when she finds Christianity at 18, experiencing several years of faith-based sobriety before career pressures lead to drinking again, culminating in a devastating spiral that nearly ends at a train track in California.
The conversation delves into the fascinating science of equine therapy, where Kat explains how horses—able to detect human heartbeats from 100 yards away—become powerful healing partners for those in recovery. This connection to animals provides a therapeutic bridge that medication alone cannot offer.
Perhaps most valuable is Kat's insight into long-term recovery: "Just like alcoholism is progressive, sobriety is progressive." She describes how "the road narrows" the longer you stay sober, requiring increasingly deeper spiritual work and personal growth. Her journey illuminates why simply knowing Jesus differs from walking with Him, and why abstinence alone never addresses the underlying spiritual malady of addiction.
Whether you're struggling with substance use, supporting someone who is, or simply curious about the intersection of faith and recovery, this episode offers profound wisdom about healing, accountability, and finding purpose in pain. Join us for this intimate conversation about transformation that happens one day at a time.
