It really was right out of university where that feeling started. Don't swallow that, don't cover it up, because it becomes such a serious source of pain... everybody's put on this planet in a unique form to do something.
Ever wondered why you reach for that glass of wine when stress hits? Sarah Kate, a former casualty of the 'mommy wine culture', shares her powerful story on The Addictive Pod. Struggling with feelings of unfulfillment in her career and life, Sarah turned to alcohol as an escape. Her drinking spiraled out of control, leading to blackouts and hidden bottles, until she reached a breaking point.
Tired of the cycle, she transformed her life and founded the online magazine Some Good Clean Fun. In this episode, Sarah delves into the underlying needs that drive us to drink and offers practical ways to meet those needs without alcohol. She emphasizes the importance of reconnecting with our younger selves—the part of us that existed before addiction took hold.
Through candid discussion, Sarah sheds light on the dangers of high-functioning alcohol use disorder and the societal pressures of mommy wine culture. Sarah's journey is a testament to the power of resilience and positivity. She encourages listeners to rethink their relationship with alcohol and discover that a fulfilling life doesn't require a drink in hand. By being true to oneself and taking risks, rather than masking our true selves, we can find genuine happiness and fulfillment.
If you're seeking inspiration and practical advice on overcoming the urge to drink, this episode is a must-listen. Sarah's story is not just about quitting alcohol; it's about finding what truly makes you happy and living a life that's authentically yours.
