I realized that I could change and evolve and take the parts about me that weren't working for me and take them out and find some new ones that would.
Imagine balancing motherhood with the challenges of sobriety. That's exactly what Victoria Vanstone, a mother of three from the Sunshine Coast in Australia, shares in this episode of the 1000 Days Sober Podcast. Originally from the UK, Victoria has been chronicling her zigzag path to sobriety for two years, starting from the very day she decided to quit drinking.
Writing became her lifeline, a way to distract herself from the temptation of cold wine bottles and to pour out her struggles and triumphs on her blog, 'Drunk Mummy Sober Mummy'. Victoria’s story is not just about quitting alcohol; it’s about understanding herself and her destructive habits. In her conversation with Lee Davy, she opens up about how writing and therapy have been instrumental in her recovery.
They discuss the impact of alcohol on mental health, the difficulties of moving from a party lifestyle to the responsibilities of motherhood, and the importance of taking ownership of one’s problems. Victoria also talks about co-hosting the 'Sober Awkward' podcast with her friend Hamish and founding the Cuppa Community, a social network for those on a sobriety journey. Her candidness and authenticity make this episode a must-listen for anyone struggling with addiction or supporting someone who is.
Victoria’s journey is both inspiring and relatable, offering a beacon of hope and a reminder that recovery is within reach for everyone. If you're looking for real stories and practical advice on navigating sobriety while juggling life's demands, this episode is for you. Tune in to hear how one mother turned her life around and became a more present, self-aware parent.
