Sober Queen Connie: Transforming Life's Challenges into Sobriety Success
The success that you intended to have, the healing, the authenticity, that is what you're doing when you don't live a life of healing.
Imagine reaching a point where you decide enough is enough, and you take back control of your life. That's exactly what Connie McMillan, also known as Sober Queen Connie, did. In this episode of Tribe Sober, Connie opens up about her powerful journey from heavy drinking to becoming a sober coach and author. Her book, 'From Alcohol Fiend to Sobriety Queen', captures the essence of her transformation.
Connie's relationship with alcohol began in her 30s, and it quickly became a way for her to escape reality, feel beautiful, and find courage. But it also led her down a dark path, even making her feel suicidal at times. She tried to quit multiple times, setting rules like 'I won’t drink this weekend' or 'I’ll only drink wine because I don’t like it'.
Despite these efforts, the grip of alcohol tightened, especially when her husband, a heavy drinker himself, didn't support her decision to stop. Her marriage eventually ended in divorce, a painful but necessary step in her journey to sobriety. Connie credits her faith for helping her leave her marriage and transform her business into a non-alcoholic service. As a sober coach, she now helps others navigate their path to an alcohol-free life through one-on-one coaching tailored to their needs.
Connie emphasizes the importance of vulnerability and transparency in the sobriety journey. She believes that breaking free from people-pleasing and generational curses is possible and liberating. Her story is a testament to the benefits of a sober life, filled with healing, authenticity, and success. For anyone considering sobriety, Connie's journey offers a beacon of hope. She shares her insights on the positive changes that come with an alcohol-free life and highlights the resources available through Tribe Sober's online kickstart course.
