They think, oh, I could do A Weekend, or maybe I could do dry January, or maybe I could, I don't know, moderate. You know, a lot of them think life without alcohol would be so painful and stressful and difficult and no fun.
Ever wondered if you could just wake up one day and decide to quit drinking? That’s exactly what Meg Star did, and she’s here to share her story on the Sobertown Podcast. Meg, the author of 'The Irish Exit', found herself in the tricky spot of being a gray area drinker—someone who drinks regularly but doesn't fit the stereotype of an alcoholic. Despite functioning well in daily life, she realized alcohol was holding her back from living her best life.
One morning, she decided enough was enough and quit cold turkey. Now, with over two and a half years of sobriety under her belt, she joins Drifter to talk about the ups and downs of her journey. Meg dives into the benefits she’s experienced since quitting alcohol, like feeling happier and more at peace. She also addresses common fears people have about giving up drinking and offers practical advice on creating a personalized recovery plan.
Community support played a huge role in her journey, and she shares how connecting with others made a big difference. Meg’s story is a testament to the power of determination and the positive changes that come with sobriety. If you’re contemplating quitting or looking for inspiration, this episode is a must-listen.
