Getting sober requires a rewiring of the brain, and instead of reaching for a drink, we have to learn how to reach for support.
Imagine facing life's toughest battles and coming out stronger on the other side. That's exactly what Leanne Bayliss did. In this episode of 'One For The Road', host David Wilson, also known as SoberDave, sits down with Leanne, a sober blogger, scriptwriter, and proud Brummie, to discuss her incredible journey to sobriety. Leanne's life wasn't always easy. Adopted at a young age, she faced a series of challenges that led her down a path of alcohol and drug addiction.
By her twenties, she felt completely lost and even contemplated ending it all. The birth of her daughter, Darcey, who was born with complex health needs, only added to her struggles, and her drinking escalated to dangerous levels. But Leanne's story is one of hope and resilience. When friends noticed her mental health spiraling, they stepped in, and that intervention marked the beginning of her recovery.
Today, Leanne uses her experiences to help others, ensuring no one has to suffer in silence as she once did. She speaks openly about the importance of support and the sober community in overcoming addiction. This episode is a heartfelt conversation about the power of human connection, the importance of mental health, and the possibility of finding light even in the darkest times.
