Sober Stories: Isabelle

Ever thought about how a life-changing event can spark a journey to sobriety? Isabelle from Holland did just that after undergoing knee surgery earlier this year. In this episode of 'Voices of Sobriety: Real People, Real Recovery', hosted by the empathetic Terry, also known as Sassy Sober Mum on Instagram, Isabelle opens up about her decision to quit drinking and her experiences along the way.

Having been sober for seven months at the time of recording, Isabelle shares her candid thoughts on the normalization of wine and alcohol in our society. She and Terry discuss the often unspoken challenges of post-drinking shame, embarrassment, and 'hanxiety' (hangover anxiety). Isabelle’s straightforward and relatable approach makes her story both engaging and enlightening. She offers practical tips for maintaining sobriety, such as finding new hobbies and creating distractions, especially during the tricky holiday season.

Her story is a powerful reminder that with determination and self-care, it's possible to reclaim your life from the grips of alcohol. Tune in to hear Isabelle's refreshing perspective and perhaps find some inspiration for your own journey.
