I think I always say, because we're not drinking, it's like the good times are good, the bad times are bad still, but your good times are really good.
Imagine swapping your evening glass of wine for a set of dumbbells. In this episode of 'Sober Bliss', Gayle Macdonald chats with her friend Angie, who did just that. Angie opens up about her transformation from a life shadowed by alcohol to one illuminated by fitness and health. By connecting with a personal trainer and embracing weightlifting, Angie found a powerful tool to support her sobriety.
She shares the highs and lows of this journey, from the physical benefits to the emotional resilience it built. The conversation also dives into the impact of alcohol on family life, especially motherhood, and how fitness helped Angie become a more present and engaged parent. They touch on the importance of motivation, the role of social media for support, and practical tips for balancing healthy living with occasional indulgences.
Whether you're looking for inspiration to start your own fitness journey or seeking new ways to maintain sobriety, Angie's story is a testament to the strength and joy that come from living alcohol-free.
