I was actually self-medicating with alcohol.
Leisa Leon and Leanne Franks, the powerhouse duo behind Rise Revolution, kick off their new podcast 'After Alcohol' with a heartfelt and honest look at their own journeys to sobriety. In this debut episode, they open up about their personal battles with alcohol and the transformative decisions that led them to an alcohol-free life. Leisa candidly shares how she used alcohol to manage her anxiety and insomnia, while Leanne reveals her struggle with self-medication through drinking.
Both women found that alcohol initially made them feel more outgoing, but ultimately, it complicated their lives. Their stories are a testament to the challenges many face when deciding to quit drinking, especially in a society where alcohol is deeply ingrained in social norms. They dive into the fears and societal pressures that come with choosing sobriety. But what stands out is their message of self-compassion and the joy they discovered in living alcohol-free.
They emphasize the importance of being kind to oneself during this transition and finding inspiration in the stories of others who have walked the same path. Leisa and Leanne also discuss the initial difficulties of socializing without alcohol but highlight the newfound freedom and happiness they've experienced since quitting. Their conversation is a blend of vulnerability and strength, aiming to break the stigma around sobriety and encourage others to explore a life beyond booze.
This episode isn't just about their personal stories; it's an invitation to join a supportive community that celebrates sobriety. Leisa and Leanne welcome feedback and suggestions from listeners, promising to share tips on staying alcohol-free during tough times in future episodes. If you're rethinking your relationship with alcohol or seeking support on your sober journey, this episode offers a refreshing perspective filled with empathy and encouragement.
