025: When AA Isn't Enough: Finding Your Own Path to Sobriety

from Call Her Cat Hosted by Catherine York

Host Cat York candidly shares her sobriety journey, describing early detox, repeated relapses, and the support and limitations she found in Alcoholics Anonymous. She discusses challenges specific to women in recovery—difficulty finding sponsors, childcare barriers, and spiritual mismatch—and explains how she built a personalized recovery routine including meetings, church, meditation, and coaching. This episode calls for compassion after relapse, broader conversations about alternative recovery paths, and acceptance that there is no single right way to stay sober. Love the conversation?
