Madeline Forrest: Redefining Sobriety Beyond Labels

I think that's such an important message and it it really, whether it's alcohol or drugs or all these different behaviors- food, I think the majority of people fall in that gray area.
Growing up with parents who were recovering alcoholics, Madeline Forrest was no stranger to the pitfalls of drinking. Despite this awareness, it wasn't until college that alcohol became her go-to social tool. But soon, the hangovers and anxiety took their toll, prompting Madeline to rethink her relationship with alcohol. She made the bold choice to quit, not because she saw herself as an 'alcoholic', but because she wanted a healthier, happier life.
In this episode, Madeline opens up about her journey to sobriety, challenging the traditional labels associated with alcohol dependency. She shares how setting future goals played a crucial role in her decision and highlights the joy she has found in sobriety. Her story is a beacon of hope for anyone contemplating a life without alcohol, especially those intrigued by the sober curious movement.
