Why would you keep doing something that's going to speed up and accelerate your aging process? Honestly, what I look like is the least of the positives I mean for my alcohol change.
What happens when a grandmother decides to kick alcohol to the curb? Janet White, hailing from sunny Florida, shares her transformative story in this heartfelt episode of 'Over The Influence'. At the age of 50, Janet chose to give up alcohol, not just for herself but to be a more present and active grandmother.
Her journey is filled with honesty, warmth, and a touch of humor as she opens up about her past struggles and how sobriety has reshaped her life. Despite her background as a nurse, Janet once turned to alcohol as a coping mechanism for life's hardships, believing it offered an escape. However, she soon realized that alcohol was more of a trap than a relief.
In her conversation with hosts Sharon Hartley and Ben Anderson, Janet dives into the emotional rollercoaster that came with quitting drinking and how she navigated through those raw feelings. She didn't hit rock bottom but knew a change was essential for her well-being. One of the standout themes in this episode is the power of community. Janet credits the Over The Influence community for providing the support and sense of belonging that kept her on track.
She also shares practical tips for staying sober during challenging times like holidays and dealing with negative self-talk. Janet's story is a testament to the fact that it's never too late to turn your life around. Her book, 'Finding Bliss Beyond the Buzz', offers further insights and advice for those looking to embrace an alcohol-free lifestyle. If you're curious about the benefits of sobriety or need some inspiration to make a change, this episode is a must-listen.
