If someone can, I mean I am so happy for them, but just for me, I just wanted it completely out of my life. It makes it easier right there's not that head noise would you say right right, I don't mind being around people that drink. I actually serve like champagne at work because it's just such a celebration when someone's getting engaged or getting a really special timepiece or something like that. So I don't mind serving it. And, you know, even when I'm socializing at someone's house or something, I remember early on in my sobriety, they sent me in for margaritas. Hey, Heidi, can you get those inside? You know, and I'm laughing. I'm like, you know, I'm glad that I'm so strong. And so, you know, just committed that I can go pick up a pitcher of margaritas and not even be tempted.
Imagine being the life of the party, your face on bar posters, and then making a complete turnaround to embrace a life without alcohol. That's exactly what Heidi Abell, also known as Party Girl Unleaded, did. In this episode of 'Thriving Alcohol-Free with Mocktail Mom', Deb chats with Heidi about her remarkable transformation from a bar regular to a sobriety advocate and mocktail enthusiast in Charlotte, NC.
Heidi opens up about her decision to quit drinking in June 2020, during the early days of the pandemic, when she realized alcohol was becoming too much of a crutch. She found solace and support in the online alcohol-free community, which played a pivotal role in her journey. Now, she gives back by mentoring others who are trying to break free from the grip of alcohol.
With her background as a Gemologist and Luxury Sales Professional, Heidi’s story is a testament to the power of change and resilience. She still brings the fun, but now it's all about non-alcoholic options and living a healthier, happier life. Tune in to hear Heidi and Deb discuss the ups and downs of sobriety, the importance of planning ahead with non-alcoholic drinks, and how to find joy in an alcohol-free lifestyle.
