Curious about how others navigate their sobriety journey? Dive into the fascinating story of Alex Leigh, a former 90s international fashion model, who once lived a life filled with glamour, excess, and the high-flying allure of the runway. This week, she joins Sober Dave on 'One For The Road' to share her remarkable transformation from the chaotic world of fashion and substance abuse to a fulfilling life of sobriety.
Alex candidly recounts her early years, marked by personal tragedies and the subsequent spiral into a lifestyle of parties and substance use that almost consumed her. Yet, it wasn't the glitzy parties or the allure of champagne that finally made her hit rock bottom. Instead, it was the seemingly innocuous 'mummy needs wine' culture that nearly derailed her life.
Now, over two and a half years sober, Alex has not only reclaimed her life but also found a new purpose in inspiring mid-forties mums who feel they've lost themselves. With a light-hearted touch, she reflects on her past with Sober Dave, revealing how her journey to sobriety has been nothing short of a rebirth.
If you're seeking stories of courage and growth or looking for motivation to change your relationship with alcohol, Alex's story is one you won't want to miss. Her journey is a testament to the power of self-discovery and the joy of finding clarity in a world once clouded by addiction. How can Alex's transformation inspire you on your own path to sobriety?
