Taking that coping mechanism out of the equation really allows you to work on the parts of you that you're running away from.
Ever felt like you're running on empty, juggling work, family, and a constant battle with alcohol? Meet Emma Gilmour, a Melbourne-based psychotherapist and coach, who knows that struggle all too well. In this episode of 'How I Quit Alcohol', host Danni Carr sits down with Emma to discuss her rollercoaster journey to sobriety while managing ADHD. Once a corporate marketing professional, Emma's life looked perfect on the outside, but inside she was crumbling.
Fueled by adrenaline, coffee, and booze, she hit rock bottom when her eldest child asked her to stop bringing wine into their bedroom. That moment was a wake-up call, sparking a messy yet transformative breakup with alcohol. Emma didn't just quit drinking; she rebuilt her entire identity. She discovered her true values and learned to trust her intuition. Without alcohol clouding her judgment, Emma found a newfound confidence to pursue her dreams.
One key aspect of her recovery was somatic therapy, which helped her connect with her body and release long-held emotions. This episode isn't just about Emma's personal growth; it's also about how sobriety improved her relationships. By taking responsibility for her actions and not blaming her husband, Emma strengthened her bond with her family. If you're grappling with addiction or trying to stay sober while managing ADHD, Emma's story offers valuable insights and hope.
Tune in to hear how she turned her life around and find inspiration for your own journey to a healthier, alcohol-free life.
