Sobriety is a superpower. I spent my life wanting to die and continuously being suicidal. Now, I can't get enough of life.
Imagine growing up in a pub and later finding yourself struggling with alcohol despite a loving family and a successful life. This is Jane Rivera's story, a tale of resilience, transformation, and hope. In this episode of 'Tribe Sober', host Janet Gourand sits down with Jane, a cherished member of the Tribe Sober community, to share her incredible journey from the depths of despair to the heights of a fulfilling, alcohol-free life.
Jane's relationship with alcohol began early, thanks to her parents owning a pub in the UK. Moving to Johannesburg as a teenager didn't help her find stability; instead, it led her further down a path of rebellion and heavy drinking. Even a happy marriage and two wonderful children couldn't shield her from the grip of alcohol. It wasn't until Jane felt her family slipping away that she knew something had to change.
Enter Janet Gourand and her transformative workshop, now known as the Kickstart Masterclass. Initially, Jane thought she could go back to moderate drinking after a short break. However, after experiencing the benefits of an alcohol-free life, she realized moderation wasn't an option for her. Her newfound clarity and joy in sobriety were too valuable to trade for the fleeting highs of alcohol. Jane's story underscores the importance of finding a supportive community.
Her involvement with Tribe Sober provided her with the non-judgmental support she needed to thrive. She reflects on the freedom and extra time she discovered once she ditched the drink and encourages others to celebrate every milestone on their sobriety journey. This episode is a testament to the power of community and the profound changes that come with embracing an alcohol-free life.
Whether you're sober-curious or firmly on your sobriety path, Jane's story offers inspiration and practical insights for anyone looking to transform their relationship with alcohol.
