The struggle of making my outsides look okay was more and more challenging. Would god want me to criticize myself so harshly. And the answer it took me some time to realize is no.
Motherhood is challenging enough, but add the struggle of alcoholism, and it can feel downright overwhelming. In this heartfelt episode of 'Sober Gratitudes', host Sarah Elizabeth opens up about her personal journey through these dual challenges. Inspired by her friend Mary, Sarah dedicates this episode to all the moms out there, reminding them of their worth and the importance of self-love. Sarah shares candidly about the societal pressures that pushed her towards alcohol as a coping mechanism.
She wanted to be the perfect mom, making her children feel special and loved, but found herself turning to alcohol to manage the overwhelming demands.

She explains how aligning her inner self with her outer actions was a transformative experience. By confronting her issues head-on, she began to see real change in her life.
Sarah also discusses the impact of societal norms and advertising on women's experiences with alcoholism.

It's a reminder that while the journey to sobriety is tough, it's incredibly rewarding.
