Maria's Journey: From Wine as a Coping Mechanism to Embracing Sobriety

For me, that was the book that spoke to me. I said I'm going to give up drinking for Days, and your brain at The End Of Those Days is not the same brain that it was going in. If you've never taken Days off drinking, you have no idea how that's going to feel until you try it.
Ever wondered how someone transitions from using wine to cope with life's challenges to living a fulfilling sober life? In this episode of The Bubble Hour, Maria opens up about her personal journey through motherhood, divorce, and work pressures. She candidly discusses how alcohol became her go-to release valve, and the pivotal moment when she realized she needed a change.
Now in her third year of sobriety, Maria reflects on her past without regret, seeing it as a stepping stone to a better way of life. One of the most compelling aspects of Maria's story is her view on sobriety as a 'secret superpower'. She talks about finding that crucial space between action and reaction, and how this newfound control has transformed her inner world.
Maria also touches on the importance of labels, sharing how she prefers to describe herself as alcohol-free or sober, likening it to being a vegetarian—just a personal choice. For anyone struggling with their relationship with alcohol, Maria's reflections offer hope and inspiration. Her story is a testament to the power of choice and self-awareness, showing that it's never too late to make a positive change.
Tune in to hear Maria's heartfelt story and discover the strength that comes from embracing sobriety.
