When you stop drinking, things fall away. And yeah, that was really weird to me.
Imagine swapping your go-to drink for a mocktail and navigating a whole new social landscape. That's what Leisa Leon and Leanne Franks dive into in this episode of 'After Alcohol'. They open up about their first 365 days of sobriety, offering a candid look at the ups and downs that come with ditching the booze. Leisa kicks things off by sharing how an embarrassing incident made her reconsider her drinking habits, leading her to embrace a sober lifestyle.
Leanne, on the other hand, talks about her more recent decision to quit, marked by several attempts but ultimately leading to resilience and self-acceptance. Throughout the episode, the co-hosts touch on the real challenges of sobriety: awkward social gatherings, losing friends who were only drinking buddies, and facing personal issues head-on without alcohol as a crutch. But it’s not all struggle; they also highlight the incredible freedom and self-discovery that come with an alcohol-free life.
Leanne mentions how sobriety has made her more intuitive and positive, while Leisa describes the first year as a profound journey of self-reflection. Their honest and heartfelt stories make this episode a must-listen for anyone curious about or struggling with sobriety. It's a raw, real, and ultimately uplifting conversation that reminds us all that while the path to sobriety is challenging, it’s also incredibly rewarding.
