Blair Sharp's Path to Sobriety: Finding Life's True Meaning
I really think she and I are onto something with this whole new psych theory we're going to come out with about people with sensory sensitivity and those of us who find ourselves using alcohol.
What happens when you realize that alcohol is no longer serving you, but instead, it's holding you back? In this engaging episode of 'Sober Stories', host Beth Bowen sits down with Blair Sharp, known for her Instagram presence as @sobrietyactivist. Blair opens up about her long history of sporadic binge drinking, the DUI that wasn't quite the wake-up call she needed, and the pivotal conversation with her partner that finally led her to quit drinking.
Together, they discuss how both used alcohol as a crutch for social anxiety and how Blair stumbled upon the idea of sobriety through a blog post on Scary Mommy. One of the most striking points Blair makes is how 'managing' alcohol was far more challenging than removing it entirely. She also dives into the pervasive 'Mommy Wine Culture' and its impact on her life.
Since quitting alcohol in February 2018, Blair has not only found a renewed sense of creativity but has also become a voice of support for others questioning their relationship with alcohol. She shares how sobriety has allowed her to discover what she calls 'The Secret to Life'. This episode is perfect for anyone struggling with social pressures around drinking or seeking inspiration to live a more authentic, alcohol-free life.
