In this powerful episode of the Not My Plan Podcast, host Dave Weill sits down with Kate Parker to share her deeply personal journey through alcoholism, recovery, surrender, and rediscovering God’s purpose for her life.
Kate opens up about how alcohol slowly became a destructive coping mechanism during a difficult marriage and how what began as “normal” social drinking eventually turned into daily dependency. After years of trying to manage it on her own, everything changed when she woke up one morning unable to remember an entire day caring for her daughter — a moment that became the wake-up call that saved her life.
Through raw honesty and powerful reflection, Kate shares the painful reality of addiction, the importance of surrender, and how God used brokenness to rebuild her life. She discusses checking herself into rehab, rebuilding trust with her family, moving to Tennessee for a fresh start, and how her relationship with God became stronger through complete surrender to His plan instead of her own.
Today, Kate is sober, thriving, and helping others through her book Sober and Thriving: 100 Days of Sobriety Worksheets. Her story is a reminder that addiction does not define a person, there is always hope, and healing begins when we stop trying to do life alone.
If you or someone you love is struggling with addiction, this conversation offers encouragement, honesty, and hope that freedom and restoration are possible.
