I think for me, probably growing up, you know, I have very fond memories of growing up pre-drinking... I just didn't feel good about myself ever, maybe as a kid, I don't know.
Imagine finding yourself at rock bottom after a life-altering accident. That’s George's story. Living in Brighton, UK, George has been sober for seven months, and his journey is nothing short of transformative. In this episode of 'Voices of Sobriety: Real People, Real Recovery', George opens up about the moment he knew he had to quit drinking. The accident was a wake-up call, but the unexpected joys and benefits of sobriety have kept him on this path.
George's story is one of resilience and self-discovery, showing that even in the darkest times, there's a way out. He talks about overcoming the initial shame and learning to cultivate self-compassion. One of his key messages? Finding joy in the simple things, like enjoying a peaceful morning coffee or a leisurely breakfast. George also touches on the pressures of 'mummy wine culture' and offers practical advice for supporting others who are on their sobriety journey.
This episode is a heartfelt reminder that sobriety isn't just about quitting alcohol; it's about embracing a new way of living that brings genuine happiness and fulfillment.
