You don't know how good it can get until you really, really let yourself find out because it's really hard in the beginning. Even if you're just taking up like a month break and that's an amazing thing to do. If it feels hard, it does not feel that hard forever. And it's so, so, so worth it.
Ever wondered if life could be more fulfilling without alcohol? Meet Madeline, a 29-year-old from Toronto, who decided to explore that very question. In this episode of 'Thriving Alcohol-Free with Mocktail Mom', Deb chats with Madeline about her journey from gray-area drinking to a vibrant, sober life. Madeline opens up about her decade-long struggle with alcohol, where she often found herself waking up feeling low and anxious, despite not fitting the typical 'alcoholic' mold.
It was in November 2020 that she decided enough was enough. The thought of a life without alcohol seemed daunting at first, but the reality turned out to be far more rewarding than she ever imagined. Sobriety brought Madeline inner peace, mental clarity, and genuine happiness. She shares candidly about the initial discomfort of social settings and ordering non-alcoholic drinks but emphasizes the importance of pushing through those early stages.
For anyone curious about sobriety, Madeline recommends diving into books like 'The Unexpected Joy of Being Sober' and 'This Naked Mind'. Her story is a refreshing reminder that joy and freedom can be found on the other side of alcohol. Tune in to hear more about her inspiring journey and the community that supports her.
