Today writer and sobriety influencer Kate Taylor is on the show to share her sobriety story! 

Kate tells us about growing up in a high end drinking culture, and how that made her romanticize alcohol from a young age. Then, she shares how her drinking got out of control (including an evening at a knitting club that ended up in a jail cell!). 

One night, two bottles of wine deep, Kate couldn’t take it anymore. She drunkenly recorded an 8-minute video, begging her sober self to stop picking up that first drink. The next morning, sober, she found the courage to watch the video - and she chose to listen. She’s now 2 ½ years sober and refuses to give anymore of her life to alcohol. 

Kate shares the challenges she faced having a partner who still drank, and what she’s experienced since he has chosen to try a year of sobriety. Plus, she tells us about the beautiful ways in which her relationship with her daughters changed when she gave up alcohol.
