I have not yelled at my kids in sobriety, and I think moms know what I'm talking about.
Ever wondered how life changes when you quit drinking? In this episode of 'Decidedly Dry', Jess Steitzer sits down with Kathryn Sabella, who has been alcohol-free since September 26, 2019. Kathryn, a PhD in sociology and mental health services researcher, brings a unique perspective to the table. She’s not just a scholar; she’s a mom to two young girls, navigating co-parenting with her ex-husband in Boston.
Her journey is a tapestry of overcoming family alcoholism, embracing sobriety, and finding herself amidst life's chaos. Kathryn opens up about her early years, marked by her father's struggle with alcohol and his eventual recovery. This backdrop shaped her views on drinking and sobriety. College life saw her diving into the party scene, and later, she found herself entangled in the 'mommy wine culture'. Despite the social drinking, she felt anxious, unhappy, and often irritable with her kids and husband.
Since quitting alcohol, Kathryn has discovered a clearer mind and a more peaceful life. She talks about the simple joys of sobriety, like not yelling at her kids and shedding the 'shoulds' that once dictated her life. Her story isn’t just about quitting alcohol; it’s about reclaiming joy and authenticity. Kathryn also discusses the challenges and triumphs of co-parenting after divorce. Her candidness about using sobriety as an act of self-love is both touching and inspiring.
As an active member of several sobriety support forums and a regular host in Sober Mom Squad, Kathryn is passionate about helping women in recovery find their true selves. Join Jess and Kathryn for a heartfelt conversation that touches on mental health, self-love, and the power of a supportive sober community. Whether you’re sober-curious or well along your sobriety journey, Kathryn’s story offers valuable insights and encouragement.
