I do believe that you reconnect with joy when you stop drinking, because you find joy in small things...
Picture yourself juggling university life, raising three kids, and trying to stay sober. That’s Sara’s reality. In this episode of 'Voices of Sobriety: Real People, Real Recovery', Terry, known as Sassy Sober Mum, chats with Sara from Durham, UK. Sara’s story is one many can relate to—growing up with alcohol at home, experimenting with teenage drinking, and then navigating the tricky path of sober curiosity while living overseas.
Sara didn't just wake up one day and decide to quit; it was a journey marked by flip-flopping between drinking and sobriety until she finally committed to an alcohol-free life one year ago. During their conversation, Sara opens up about the impact alcohol had on her relationships and the heavy burden of shame and guilt she carried for years. She also touches on the societal pressures that glamorize drinking, making it even harder to step away.
Ever wondered how to handle social situations when you’re the only one not drinking? Sara shares her experiences and the challenges she faced dealing with peer pressure. But it's not all struggles and hardships. Sara’s journey is also about rediscovering joy and finding meaning in the little things. She reflects on how her friendships evolved after she stopped drinking and emphasizes the importance of putting herself first.
This episode is a goldmine of insights for anyone wrestling with alcohol addiction or seeking inspiration to stay sober. Sara’s candid reflections offer a window into the real-life challenges and rewards of quitting alcohol. Tune in for an honest and uplifting discussion that might just give you the push you need.
