We don't get sober to live small lives. Life does throw you curveballs, but it's the way you respond that is the biggest gift that taking alcohol out of your life has given you.
Ever wondered what it takes to turn your life around and embrace sobriety? In this episode of 'Behind the Smile', host Ash Butterss chats with Ali Burke, a single mum and Aussie Ranger, who took the brave step of giving up alcohol and found a whole new world waiting for her. Ali's story is a refreshing take on sobriety, focusing on what she gained rather than what she gave up.
After decades in a culture that celebrated drinking, Ali decided to get 'sober curious' and committed to a year without booze. Six months in, the benefits were so profound that she chose to quit drinking for good. Now, two and a half years sober, Ali radiates positivity and hopes to inspire others to take the leap into a sober life.
The conversation covers a range of topics, from identifying triggers and the impact of growing up too fast to dealing with anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. Ali also delves into subconscious healing through hypnotherapy and the role of nature, meditation, and gratitude in her recovery journey. Her story is a beacon of hope for anyone struggling with addiction or mental health challenges, showing that with self-reflection and determination, it's possible to find self-worth, resilience, and a new sense of freedom.
