Dawn's Honest Journey: Finding Sobriety and Healing

I think that acceptance bit, I think that's so important and that's the bit that sounds like you had to get. And but my final, yeah, the last time I drank was in the morning, and my mum told me that, and she didn't tell me to be mean, she didn't tell me to get me to stop drinking, she just actually said: oh, Connor said this, and that just for whatever reason.
Picture a young woman, just 26, grappling with the weight of alcohol addiction amid a global pandemic. That's Dawn's reality. In this heartfelt episode of 'Voices of Sobriety: Real People, Real Recovery', Terry, affectionately known as Sassy Sober Mum, sits down with Dawn to unpack her candid story. Dawn’s drinking spiraled out of control due to a family issue during lockdown, pushing her to seek help through the AA programme.
Her raw honesty about her struggles and triumphs makes her story incredibly relatable and inspiring. Dawn dives into the tough parts of early sobriety, shedding light on the importance of distancing oneself from toxic friendships and the journey to heal from shame and trauma. She also shares practical tips on regaining trust and being gentle with oneself during recovery. With just five months of sobriety, Dawn’s enthusiasm and passion for her new life are infectious.
Whether you're at the start of your sobriety journey or supporting someone who is, Dawn’s insights offer hope and practical advice for navigating the path to a sober life.
