Rose's Sobriety Journey: From Family Boozers to Finding Herself

I feel like I've just been existing just below the surface for so many years, and now I feel like I've sort of just woken up and there's so many amazing things in the world that I can do.
Picture this: growing up in a family where drinking is as normal as breathing. That was Rose's reality. In this episode of Recovery Elevator, Rose, a 37-year-old physiotherapist from New Zealand now living in France, opens up about her path to sobriety. Her story is a vivid reminder of how deeply ingrained drinking can be in our lives and cultures, yet also how possible it is to break free.
Rose talks about how her family's drinking habits shaped her own and how moving to France introduced her to a new drinking culture that she initially resisted but eventually fell into. The turning point? The tragic death of a friend, which made her realize it was time for a change. Joining a recovery community, Rose found the support and accountability she needed to quit drinking. She describes this newfound sobriety as a waking up, full of excitement and endless possibilities.
Her journey shows that no matter how deep-rooted our habits are, there’s always hope for a brighter, alcohol-free future. If you're looking for inspiration and practical advice on sobriety, Rose's story is one you won't want to miss.
