I just kept saying: this: is it? And so what actually happened was, by complete fluke, an article by board- I think it's called board panda- showing before and after photos- came into my newsfeed and I hadn't thought about sobriety. I didn't know how much your life would change.
Picture this: you're in the 90s, surrounded by the 'ladette' culture where heavy drinking is the norm. That's where Dawn Comolly found herself before she transformed into 'The Sober Fish'. In this episode of 'Over The Influence', hosts Sharon Hartley and Freddie Bennett chat with Dawn about her incredible journey from binge drinking to embracing an alcohol-free life. Dawn opens up about the challenges she faced growing up in a time when alcohol was everywhere, especially for women.
She shares her candid experiences of quitting alcohol, inspired by a powerful online article showcasing before-and-after photos of people who had given up drinking. This sparked her commitment to change, despite the obstacles. The conversation also touches on how lockdown has shifted drinking habits from pubs to supermarkets, potentially causing more harm than we realize. Dawn discusses the role of accountability and how social media has been a surprising ally in her sobriety journey, offering support and inspiration.
Whether you're thinking about cutting down, quitting for good, or just curious about an alcohol-free lifestyle, Dawn's story offers valuable insights and encouragement. Tune in to hear how she navigated the ups and downs and found success in sobriety.
