Motherhood and Sobriety: A Chat with Victoria Vanstone

Then you have to like, like all the kind of layers you know, you remove the alcohol and all these layers start to come off and you're like, oh, okay, so I'm back to when I'm or whatever, and I don't know how to deal with anything in my adult life like this is fun.
Have you ever wondered how motherhood and sobriety intersect? In this episode of 'The Unashamed Alcoholic', Becca sits down with Victoria Vanstone, a British-born writer and blogger living in Australia. Victoria's journey to sobriety began the day she decided to quit drinking, and she's been sharing her experiences through her writing ever since. As a mother of three, Victoria offers a unique perspective on how becoming a parent influenced her decision to stop drinking.
Her candid conversation with Becca touches on the challenges of parenting without alcohol, the link between anxiety and sobriety, and the societal pressures that often accompany motherhood. They also discuss how sobriety has transformed their personal relationships and helped them break free from the stigma surrounding alcoholism. This episode is a heartfelt exploration of the benefits of living alcohol-free and the importance of changing social norms around addiction.
If you're curious about sobriety or looking for some inspiration, this conversation is a must-listen.
