Ditching the drink is like climbing a mountain. We've climbed that mountain and we know the view from the top is amazing.
What happens when your world shrinks to the size of a wine glass? For Jen Luiz, this was her reality until she decided to make a change. In this episode of 'Tribe Sober', host Janet Gourand sits down with Jen, a key member of the Tribe Sober team and a passionate activist. Jen’s story is one of transformation and resilience, shedding light on the power of community and personal commitment in overcoming alcohol dependence.
Jen shares her journey from feeling like a failure in her roles as a wife and mother to celebrating three years of sobriety. She talks candidly about how she used to feel trapped by her drinking habits and how journaling became a crucial tool in her recovery. Her activism extends to social media, where she challenges misleading alcohol marketing and advocates for a more honest conversation about drinking.
This episode isn’t just about Jen’s story; it’s a call to action for anyone feeling stuck in their relationship with alcohol. Jen and Janet discuss practical tips for maintaining sobriety, the importance of gratitude, and how to build a support system that works for you. They also delve into the broader issue of how society normalises alcohol and what we can do to change that narrative.
If you’re looking for inspiration, practical advice, or just a reminder that you’re not alone, this episode offers all that and more. Tune in to hear how one woman turned her life around and became a beacon of hope for others on the same path.
