I don't want to be defined by wine, and I felt as though I was defined by wine.
Jenny Downs made a life-changing decision in her early 50s: to give up alcohol and become a more present mother for her four children. In this heartwarming episode of 'Over The Influence', hosts Sharon, Freddie, and Ben sit down with Jenny to discuss her journey to sobriety and the profound impact it's had on her family life.
Jenny candidly talks about the dangers of normalizing alcohol for kids and how her commitment to being a positive role model motivated her to quit drinking. She joined the OTI Community nearly 18 months into her alcohol-free journey and emphasizes the ongoing effort required to maintain sobriety. The hosts explore the significance of having a supportive community and share light-hearted moments while discussing the joys and challenges of living alcohol-free.
Jenny's story is a testament to the power of determination and the importance of being present for loved ones. Whether you're on your own sobriety path or just curious about the benefits of an alcohol-free lifestyle, this episode offers inspiration and practical advice.
