I was very alone, those two things. When I was- and I'm afraid the trauma continues- I had something called preeclampsia, which was also undiagnosed. So yeah, that's sort of where we were heading and I had my third baby in lockdown, which obviously lockdown was really difficult and very anxiety inducing.
Ever wondered how someone transitions from casual weekend drinks to a life of sobriety? Meet Susannah from Hampshire, England. In this episode of 'Sober Stories from Everyday People', hosted by the ever-relatable Sassy Sober Mum, Susannah opens up about her path to sobriety. Her story begins with the usual weekend fun, which slowly morphed into nightly wine sessions after putting the kids to bed. It wasn't long before moderation became a constant struggle, and feeling lethargic became her new normal.
But Susannah's tale isn't just about the descent; it's about her incredible rise. After enduring traumatic events in her 20s and 30s, she found solace and strength in local AA meetings and listening to recovery podcasts. Her honesty about the challenges she faced, especially during lockdown, is both refreshing and inspiring. She emphasizes the power of writing down your reasons for staying sober, a practice that helped her stay grounded.
This episode is a heartfelt reminder that healing is possible and that support is always within reach. Tune in to hear Susannah's story of resilience and hope.
