Shooting Meth, Stealing Cars & Homeless in Cincinnati | Ep 199

In this episode of Get a Grip Podcast, Louis Essig sits down with Catherine White for a raw and unfiltered conversation about meth addiction, life on the streets, crime, homelessness, and the difficult journey toward recovery.

Catherine opens up about her childhood and the experiences that eventually led her toward substance use. When meth entered her life, things quickly began to change. She shares what happened when she progressed to shooting meth for the first time and how addiction began taking control of her decisions and relationships.

Her story takes another devastating turn when her boyfriend receives a life sentence for two murders. As Catherine's addiction continued to escalate, she became involved in stealing cars, including one incident where she discovered a gun inside a stolen vehicle. She also talks about stealing from UDF and facing a felony charge as the consequences of her addiction continued to pile up.

Catherine discusses her attempts at sober living and what life was really like trying to stay clean while still battling the pull of addiction. She also shares the story of leaving sober living, ending up in a rundown hotel, and stealing a running vehicle that she kept for an entire month.

The conversation doesn't shy away from the realities of addiction and homelessness. Catherine talks openly about the drugs she was using, how addiction affected her life, and what it was like trying to survive while homeless in Cincinnati.

Most importantly, Catherine shares where she is today and the lessons she has learned from everything she's been through. Her story is a reminder that even after addiction takes you to some of the darkest places imaginable, recovery and change are still possible.
