Sometimes I miss it desperately, but I've never missed it enough to go and have a drink, you know, to start drinking again, should I say, because if I really wanted to do it, there's nothing stopping me, I'd go and do it, and that is true freedom and true choice.
Imagine hitting a milestone of over 1000 days without a single drop of alcohol. That's exactly what Sally Wilkinson has achieved, and in this episode of 'Over The Influence', she opens up about her remarkable journey. Hosted by BBC's Sharon Hartley and Guinness World Record holder Freddie Bennett, this episode is a heartfelt dive into Sally's life before and after she decided to quit drinking.
Sally candidly discusses her past relationship with alcohol, from daily drinking habits to using it as a crutch during stressful times. She shares the pivotal moment when she decided enough was enough, signing up for an Ironman race and realizing that alcohol would only hinder her progress. But it wasn't all smooth sailing; Sally faced numerous challenges, from dealing with anxiety to navigating social situations without a drink in hand. However, the benefits of sobriety far outweighed the struggles.
Sally talks about improved mental health, a stronger sense of self, and the joy of celebrating milestones along the way. Support systems played a crucial role in her journey, and she emphasizes the importance of having understanding friends and family. Even during lockdown, Sally found creative ways to stay connected and celebrate her achievements. This episode isn't just about quitting alcohol; it's about the freedom of choice and the power of mindset.
Sally's story is a testament to perseverance and the incredible changes that can come from choosing an alcohol-free life. Whether you're sober curious or already on your own path to sobriety, Sally's journey offers inspiration and practical insights to help you along the way.
