Behind The Smile with Ash Butterss

Ep 6. How putting down the booze led to rediscovering the self with Monique Sverdvik


Listen Later

In this week's episode, I sit down with Monique, a Nurse and mum of four who gave up alcohol on the 28th December, 2019. We discuss Mon’s journey into sobriety and what she’s discovered about herself since choosing to live life sober.

Mon talks openly about the pressure she felt to be “perfect” from a young age and how she used alcohol to self-medicate until she wasn’t able to control it anymore.

Today, Mon is proudly sober and credits giving up alcohol as the reason she's able to show up as a wife and mother in her fullest capacity. Mon shares how she found the strength to quit drinking and the deep sense of presence and connection that she's found in sobriety.
