Leslie A shares her journey in this episode of Sober Cast, offering a candid glimpse into her life before and after embracing sobriety. With her Southern charm, Leslie recounts growing up in Georgia and the impact her father's alcoholism had on her family. Her story is sprinkled with humorous anecdotes, like her stint in Australia studying FBI profiling, and poignant moments of self-discovery, such as recognising her own struggles with alcohol.
Leslie's path to sobriety wasn't straightforward; it was filled with challenges and revelations, including a college experience marked by blackouts and the realisation that her attempts to control her drinking were futile.

The episode is a compelling reminder that sobriety is not just abstaining from alcohol but a continuous journey of self-improvement and acceptance. Leslie's humour and honesty make this episode relatable for anyone grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is.
