Julia's Sobriety Journey: From Midwife to Mindfulness

We can change ourselves. We can create what we want to be, the person that we want to be, and it is down to us that you know we can't rely on other people to do it.
Imagine turning your life around after decades of heavy drinking. That's Julia's story. Hailing from Tasmania, Julia's journey to sobriety is nothing short of inspiring. In this episode of 'Voices of Sobriety: Real People, Real Recovery', Terry, known as Sassy Sober Mum on Instagram, sits down with Julia to discuss her path to a sober life. At 49, after graduating in midwifery and meeting her current partner, Julia decided it was time for a change.
She had spent years drinking socially and then increasingly at home, often alone. Julia's candidness about her struggles and triumphs makes her story relatable and encouraging for anyone grappling with alcohol addiction. She opens up about the toll alcohol took on her mental health and relationships and shares the tools that helped her manage triggers and cravings. Journaling and mindfulness practices became her go-to strategies. But what truly stands out is the strength she found in community support.
Julia’s involvement in the THRIVE Community played a pivotal role in her recovery. Her story is a testament to the power of honesty, bravery, and the right support system. Whether you're at the beginning of your sobriety journey or looking for ways to stay on track, Julia's experiences offer valuable insights and practical advice.
