I think there is so much comfort in being able to relate to someone's story and think, 'Well if they can do it, then why can't I do it?'
Imagine juggling motherhood with three kids under four while battling an alcohol habit. Jen from Shepperton, Middlesex, shares her remarkable story in this episode of 'Sober Stories from Everyday People'. At 35, Jen reached seven months of sobriety by January 2024. Her relationship with alcohol began in university, where she quickly discovered she had no 'off' button. Drinking turned into a daily habit, and attempts at moderation fell short. The turning point?
Her wife was expecting their third child, prompting Jen to quit for good. Jen’s decision surprised many, but the support she found in the THRIVE Sober online community was pivotal. She talks about the clarity, patience, and joy that sobriety has brought into her life. Jen also shares her top tips for those on a similar path: find a supportive community, explore alcohol-free alternatives, and use a tracker app like Try Dry to monitor progress.
Jen’s story is a testament to the power of community and the positive changes that come with embracing a sober lifestyle.
