Getting sober requires a rewiring of the brain and instead of reaching for a drink, we have to learn how to reach for support.
Ever wondered what it's like to step away from the glamor of magazine life and confront a drinking problem head-on? In this episode of 'One For The Road', David Wilson, known as SoberDave, chats with Catherine Gray, an award-winning writer and former editor for top magazines like Cosmopolitan and GLAMOUR. Catherine opens up about her personal battle with alcohol, shedding light on the pressures of the media industry's drinking culture and how she found her path to sobriety.
Catherine's journey is nothing short of inspiring. She shares candid stories about her struggle, the support she received from friends and groups, and the pivotal moments that led her to quit drinking in 2013. Her insights into the often-overlooked milestones in sobriety are both refreshing and motivating, offering listeners a new perspective on celebrating small victories. In their conversation, Catherine also delves into her latest book, 'Sunshine Warm Sober', which champions a positive view of living without alcohol.
She hopes to change how Britain views sobriety, making it a desirable lifestyle choice rather than a daunting challenge. Her blend of memoir, expert interviews, and cultural commentary makes her work relatable and enlightening. Whether you're on your own sobriety journey or supporting someone who is, this episode is packed with valuable insights and heartfelt moments. Catherine's story is a testament to the power of resilience and the joy that can be found in an alcohol-free life.
