Jo E's Sobriety: Embracing Change and Finding Balance

But really the fun bobby thing, it does worry me, because I don't want people to think I'm boring and I don't think I'm a boring person.
Imagine growing up with a teetotal mother and an alcoholic father. Jo E from London knows this story all too well. In this episode of 'Voices of Sobriety: Real People, Real Recovery', Jo shares her seven-month journey to sobriety. As a nurse on the verge of completing her masters in Professional Practice, Jo has faced a whirlwind of challenges, from teenage drinking to recent bouts of anxiety and depression.
Add being peri-menopausal to the mix, and you have a story that's both relatable and inspiring. Jo's relationship with alcohol started in her teenage years, leading to a chaotic and tumultuous path.

Jo talks candidly about the societal pressures to drink and how she's found confidence and motivation without alcohol.
Her story is a testament to the power of perseverance and self-discovery. She encourages anyone struggling with alcohol to seek help and embrace the sober curious movement. Tune in to hear Jo's insightful reflections on societal attitudes towards drinking and how she's navigating her new sober life.
