Pisshead is not the word you would use for a mum. And perhaps that is why alcohol and motherhood is such a toxic combination .. as it’s not expected and is often done behind closed doors.

In this podcast Kate Gibson unashamedly shares her story about her journey with alcohol, from the moment she took her first life-changing sip, through to the lowest lows, until she knew something had to change.

Alongside Kate’s story, the topics we discuss are: how easy it is to start drinking; why mums drink; the red flags that our drinking is getting out of control; breaking the cycle of alcoholism; how the people around us affect our decisions to drink (or not to drink): how our drinking can affect our children; plus where and how to get help if you need it.
