Believe in your sober self, because you will take it from me, from the experience I've had This Year, you have no idea how powerful your sober self is.
Imagine using alcohol as a crutch through your teenage years and well into your thirties. That's Mike's story. Born in Scotland and now living in New Zealand, Mike shares his raw and honest journey on this episode of 'Voices of Sobriety: Real People, Real Recovery'. Hosted by Terry, known affectionately as Sassy Sober Mum, Mike recounts how he felt different from his peers growing up and turned to alcohol to cope with life's hurdles.
Despite several attempts to quit, it wasn't until he marked January 1, 2022, as his official sobriety date that things began to change. He stuck to it and now reflects on nearly a year without booze. Mike opens up about the highs and lows of his journey, offering a candid look at how he navigates life without alcohol today.
He talks about the importance of setting a specific date for sobriety and how having alternatives like alcohol-free drinks helped him stay the course. His story is a testament to the power of self-belief and commitment. If you're looking for an episode that blends personal struggle with practical advice, Mike's story is one you won't want to miss.
