Erica S – Why did we decide to stop drinking?

In this heartfelt episode of SoberQ, Erica S opens up about her journey to sobriety and the pivotal moment that led her to stop drinking. Erica candidly shares how alcohol initially made her feel cool and confident, but eventually led to a series of blackouts and a devastating accident that broke her femur and hip. Her story is a testament to the challenges many face when alcohol stops being a friend and becomes a foe.

Erica's turning point came after a two-day emotional hangover, filled with shame and guilt, which pushed her to finally read the Alcoholics Anonymous book she had purchased months earlier. This marked the beginning of her path to recovery. Erica reflects on how AA meetings and the support of her higher power helped her discover that she didn't need alcohol to be fun or confident – she could find those qualities within herself.

With humour and honesty, she recounts the hard work and dedication required to change her old ideas and become proud of who she is today. If you're curious about what it takes to embrace sobriety and find inner strength, Erica's story might just inspire you to explore your own journey.
