Quitting alcohol was the hardest thing I've ever done, but also the most rewarding.
Ali Press, a UK-based therapeutic coach, shares their inspiring alcohol-free journey in this episode of Alcohol Tipping Point. Ali, who identifies as queer and uses they/them pronouns, stopped drinking in 2017—a decision they describe as the most challenging yet rewarding of their life. Ali talks about their struggles with alcohol, the pivotal steps they took to quit, and how their sobriety has transformed their life.
They also discuss the significance of community support, particularly through groups like Queers without Beers, and how these communities provide safe spaces for those seeking to reduce or eliminate alcohol from their lives. Ali’s story is both touching and relatable, especially for those who feel isolated in their struggles with alcohol. They recount the daily battles with temptation and the profound changes that came with sobriety.
Ali also highlights the importance of therapeutic coaching in helping others navigate their own journeys toward healthier lifestyles. Their work as a coach and trainee counsellor focuses on supporting people who want to change their drinking habits, whether it's cutting back, stopping binge drinking, or going completely alcohol-free. Listeners will gain valuable insights into the complexities of addiction and recovery, especially within the queer community.
Ali’s experiences with neurodivergence add another layer of depth to the discussion, shedding light on how different factors can intersect and influence one’s relationship with alcohol. The episode also touches on how Ali discovered their neurodivergent identity and how this revelation helped them understand their past behaviours and current challenges. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking for hope, practical advice, and a sense of community.
Ali’s journey reminds us that while quitting alcohol is tough, it’s also a path to discovering a more fulfilling life. So why not tune in and see how Ali’s story might resonate with your own experiences? You might find the encouragement you need to take the next step on your own journey.
