In this engaging episode of the How I Quit Alcohol podcast, host Danni dives into the inspiring story of Liz from Melbourne. Once entwined in the grips of alcohol addiction, Liz found herself drinking a bottle of wine a day to escape the pressures of an unhappy marriage. Realizing that her life was spiraling out of control, Liz reached a pivotal breaking point where she knew change was not just necessary but urgent.
Seventeen months into her sobriety journey, Liz candidly discusses the highs and lows that accompany such a transformative decision. During the podcast, Liz emphasizes the crucial role that therapy has played in her recovery process. By engaging with a skilled therapist, Liz managed to unpack the deep-seated issues that fueled her addiction, allowing her to focus on self-care and personal growth.
This journey of self-discovery has not only helped her overcome the addiction but has also empowered her to reclaim her power and independence. However, sobriety has not been without its challenges, particularly in the realm of personal relationships. Liz notes that quitting alcohol has sometimes created tension and discomfort among family and friends who were accustomed to her previous lifestyle.
Yet, she has found strength in prioritizing her well-being, illustrating that true empowerment often comes from making difficult, yet necessary, choices. Liz also shares her experience attending the How I Quit Alcohol retreat, which provided her with invaluable support and insights into maintaining sobriety. These retreats offer a safe space for individuals to reflect, connect, and rejuvenate, allowing attendees to bolster their commitment to a sober lifestyle.
Through her story, Liz hopes to inspire listeners who may be facing similar struggles, encouraging them to seek help and find their path to empowerment. Her journey underscores the importance of self-care, professional support, and resilience in overcoming addiction and reclaiming one’s life.
