I used to think it was all her... now I look back and I actually feel quite heartbroken because I think it was never her – it was me.
In this episode of Over The Influence, hosts Sharon Hartley and Ben Anderson chat with Pippa Morris, a vibrant voice from the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia. Pippa shares her journey to sobriety, which began around the same time as Ben's, after the first lockdown in 2020. Initially attempting moderation, Pippa found that a year without alcohol suited her well and decided to stick with it.
She offers a candid look at how alcohol once played a central role in her life, particularly in her social interactions and parenting, and how removing it has brought about positive changes. Pippa's story is refreshingly relatable – no dramatic rock bottoms, just a gradual realisation that life is better without booze. She discusses the 'mummy wine culture' and how she used to schedule social activities around drinking opportunities.
Now, three and a half years sober, Pippa reflects on the benefits of sobriety, from improved relationships to better mental clarity. This episode is a heartfelt conversation that might resonate with anyone who's ever questioned their relationship with alcohol. Whether you're sober-curious or already on your alcohol-free journey, Pippa's story offers hope and practical advice. Tune in to hear about her struggles, triumphs, and the unexpected joys of living alcohol-free.
