Lisa Riley: From Party Girl to Sober Advocate
“Getting sober requires a rewiring of the brain, and instead of reaching for a drink, we have to learn how to reach for support.”
Lisa Riley, the actress known for her roles in 'Emmerdale' and 'You’ve Been Framed', opens up about her journey to sobriety on this episode of 'One For The Road'. Chatting with Sobriety Coach David Wilson, Lisa shares the pivotal moments that led her to quit drinking. After the heartbreaking loss of her mother, Lisa turned to alcohol as a coping mechanism, earning a reputation as the life of the party. But behind the laughter, she was struggling.
Six years sober now, Lisa reflects on how ditching alcohol has transformed her life. She talks about finding genuine happiness and a deeper connection with herself that she never thought possible. This episode dives into the pressures of drinking culture, the mental health challenges linked to alcohol use, and the empowering journey of embracing sobriety. Lisa's candid story is both relatable and inspiring, offering hope and encouragement to anyone questioning their relationship with alcohol.
Tune in to hear how Lisa rewired her brain to seek support instead of a drink, and how you can too.
