Quotes from Kate’s Journey:
• “I don't think I would have been able to stay with somebody who drank. And that's just the real."
• “Now that I'm sober, I'm fine going places where people are drinking and having their life, and when they get too drunk, I'm out."
• “The stuff that they find funny, for no reason, is just not funny to me, because I'm not drunk."
• “I had spent, probably since I was 14 years old, the most I had ever been sober was two months."
• “Once I got to like six months, or even a year, I was like, I just want to be this way; I don't want it to be like chance."
• “I needed more than that; I needed something different. So I ended up getting on medication."
• “The first time I got the shot for my sobriety, I never drank again."
• “I had so much noise and chatter in my brain about drinking: 'Just do one; you can just have one.'"
• “When I ended up getting on the medication, it just went away."
• “If I think about alcohol right now, I'm like, I have a really good life; I don't want to live like I lived before."
