Lisa Tyrrell's Alcoholiday: A Journey to Sobriety and Self-Discovery
But what's really important to me is that my kids know that I've been able to do something that's really hard and that hopefully they will make the choice, as they grow older, not not to drink, because I bring that awareness to to them.
What if taking a break from alcohol could change your life forever? That's exactly what happened to Lisa Tyrrell from Australia. In this episode of 'Alcohol Tipping Point', Lisa shares her heartfelt journey of overcoming alcohol addiction and embracing a sober life. Growing up in a culture where drinking is almost a rite of passage, Lisa found herself turning to alcohol to cope with the grief of losing her husband.
As a palliative care nurse, she saw the devastating effects of alcohol on health every day, yet struggled to make a change herself. That was until she joined the Alcoholiday group and took her first 'Alcoholiday'. Since September 2021, Lisa has proudly remained alcohol-free, discovering new joys and strengths along the way. She opens up about the challenges she faced, the tools that helped her quit, and the importance of being part of a supportive community.
Lisa's story isn't just about quitting alcohol; it's about finding light and making room for positive changes in life. She hopes her experience will inspire others to consider an 'Alcoholiday' and make informed choices about drinking, especially for her children. Tune in to hear Lisa's inspiring tale of resilience, hope, and transformation.
