Personally, it took me A Good Few Months before I could enjoy non-alcoholic events and things.
Picture this: you’ve tried to quit drinking multiple times, only to find yourself back at square one. That was Janis' story until a blackout one Christmas became her wake-up call. In this episode of 'Tribe Sober', Janis shares her raw and relatable journey from struggling with alcohol to celebrating her fifth year of sobriety. Host Janet Gourand dives into the ups and downs of Janis' path, exploring how she initially took breaks from drinking but couldn't make them stick.
Even an eight-month stretch of sobriety ended in relapse when she tried to moderate her intake. The turning point? An eye-opening article in the Sunday Times about Tribe Sober that led her to a life-changing workshop. Janis talks about how connecting with others who were also grappling with alcohol issues provided the support she needed. This sense of community helped her finally break free from the cycle of drinking and relapsing.
Both Janis and Janet discuss how heavy drinking can make your world feel smaller, focusing only on alcohol-related activities. Through this candid conversation, you'll hear about the importance of sharing recovery stories, the power of community, and practical strategies for dealing with triggers. Whether you're on your own sobriety journey or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and a dose of inspiration.
Tune in to hear Janis' compelling story and find out how she turned her life around with the help of Tribe Sober.
