It's like a prison when you're dependent on alcohol, and a lot of social drinkers do become dependent... I've discovered that I'm a lot freer since I've stopped the alcohol.
Ever wondered how a high-flying career can spiral into alcohol dependence? Meet Anneke Roussel, a former corporate professional who navigated the intense work hard/play hard culture while working in Afghanistan and Somalia. In this episode of Tribe Sober, Anneke opens up about her struggle with alcohol, which began as a way to cope with the stress of her demanding job and personal life. Anneke's story is one of resilience and transformation.
She talks candidly about how her drinking escalated after retiring from her adventurous career and facing the isolation of the pandemic. With a background that includes working in male-dominated environments and dealing with the grief of losing a child, Anneke found herself turning to alcohol more and more. Despite trying various methods like rehab and the 12-step program, she realized she needed a different kind of support.
That's when she discovered Tribe Sober, a community that not only understands but celebrates the journey to sobriety. Anneke shares how being part of this supportive network has been a game-changer for her, helping her to not only quit drinking but also to find joy and purpose in her new sober life. She is now dedicated to helping others on their path to sobriety, spreading the word about the benefits of living alcohol-free.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with alcohol dependence or looking for inspiration to start their own journey towards sobriety. Anneke's story is a powerful reminder that it's never too late to change your life and find your tribe.
