Rachel's Realisation: From Rock Bottom to Radiant Sobriety

Having a practice which reminds me that I'm not meant to be drinking and that all is good in the world with some plinky, plonky meditation music and a drink which is so incredibly good for me is really really powerful, and I actually call it a multiplier.
Ever had a moment when you knew things had to change? For Rachel, that moment came when her six-year-old proudly announced she had bandaged mommy's knee after a drunken fall. This was Rachel's wake-up call. Her drinking had turned her into the office joke and was impacting her family in ways she couldn't ignore. Determined to turn her life around, Rachel swapped her drinking days for habits she calls 'multipliers'.
These are practices that add joy and meaning to her life instead of subtracting from it. Daily meditation, a morning ritual of hot water with lemon, and experimenting with fun alcohol-free drinks have become her new normal. Rachel's story isn't just about quitting alcohol; it's about finding a better way to live. She talks candidly about the struggles of moderation, the importance of a supportive community, and the sheer joy of discovering new, healthier habits.
Her journey is both moving and sprinkled with humor, making it relatable for anyone who's faced similar battles. Tune in to hear Rachel's transformation and get inspired by her commitment to becoming the best version of herself.
