I felt brainwashed by it, like I felt like I've drank the kool-aid and I'm on the other side now, you know, like I learned so much from that, that's just stuck with me.
Ever thought about how different social gatherings could be without the pressure of alcohol? Amy Armstrong from Port Fairy, Victoria, is on a mission to make that a reality. In this episode of 'How I Quit Alcohol', Danni Carr sits down with Amy, who, after struggling with binge drinking for years, decided enough was enough.
With the help of The Naked Mind's one-month sobriety course, Amy has been alcohol-free for over ten months and is now advocating for more alcohol-free options in restaurants and bars across Australia. Amy’s journey began with a cycle many know too well: drinking, blacking out, feeling shame, and repeating the process. A friend's suggestion led her to try The Naked Mind course, and she hasn't looked back since.
Amy discovered a variety of non-alcoholic drinks that made her feel included in social events without the dreaded hangovers or blackouts. Teaming up with Sarah Connelly, also known as the @sober_sommelier, Amy is pushing for change, one venue at a time. In this chat, Amy shares her story of transformation and the power of self-love in her journey to sobriety. She also talks about how non-alcoholic wines, beers, and bubbles have been game-changers for her social life.
While they might not be for everyone, these options have helped Amy feel like she's not missing out. Amy's dedication is already making waves. She’s part of a growing movement to bring more alcohol-free choices to hospitality venues, making it easier for others to enjoy social events without the pressure to drink. If you're curious about how you can support this revolution or want tips on maintaining your own sobriety, this episode is packed with insights and inspiration.
Tune in to hear Amy's inspiring journey and learn how you too can contribute to changing the alcohol-free landscape. It's more than just giving up alcohol; it's about creating inclusive environments where everyone can feel comfortable and have a good time.
