It's my life, and what I found out about myself is how quiet I actually am when I was always that really annoying loud bloke in the pub.
Ever wondered how a self-proclaimed 'party girl' transforms into a sobriety advocate? In this episode of 'One For The Road', David Wilson, known as SoberDave, chats with Victoria Vanstone, famously known as drunkmummysobermummy. Victoria opens up about her tumultuous relationship with alcohol and drugs, which began in her teenage years and spiraled into an overdose on ecstasy. She candidly shares how she used her party persona as a mask for her struggles with substance abuse.
The turning point for Victoria came with the birth of her second child, which ignited her journey towards sobriety. Now an author and host of her own podcast, 'Sober Awkward', Victoria reflects on the challenges she faced while getting sober and the profound impact it had on her relationships and personal life. She emphasizes the importance of support systems, honesty, and finding joy beyond alcohol.
Victoria’s story is a testament to the power of acceptance and the courage to seek help. Her journey highlights that sobriety isn't just about quitting alcohol; it's about rediscovering oneself and living a fulfilling life. If you're seeking inspiration and hope on your path to sobriety, this episode offers a heartfelt narrative that could spark your own transformation.
