How do people find strength in their journey to sobriety? Meet Hannah, a mum from Peterborough with a busy life filled with family, work, and socialising. In this episode, Hannah shares her candid story of navigating the ups and downs of alcohol use, starting from teenage park drinking to the chaotic nights of her twenties.
With humour and raw honesty, she recounts how alcohol was both a rebellious escape and a social staple, leading to moments of self-reflection and 'sober curiosity.'
Hannah's tale is one of gradual realisation and eventual commitment to sobriety, inspired by a particularly messy cocktail night that served as her wake-up call. She discusses how reading Catherine Gray's book opened her eyes to the possibility of a different life, free from the chaos of hangovers and blackouts.
Hannah's journey is peppered with relatable anecdotes about balancing motherhood, work stress, and the societal pressures to drink. The episode is a testament to the power of self-discovery and change, as Hannah explains how she finally found peace and happiness in a sober life. Her story is not just about quitting alcohol but about rediscovering joy in the simple things and building a life she loves.
If you've ever questioned your relationship with alcohol or are curious about living sober, Hannah's story might just be the nudge you need. Could this be the inspiration you’re looking for to make a change?
