Just Like the Moon (we go through phases)

Siobhan O'Connor - On recognising her dysfunctional relationship with alcohol, going sober and all the positives of sobriety life.


Listen Later

Siobhan is a freelance sober speaker, social media manager and content creator originally from Cornwall, now based in Manchester.

Prior to her sobriety, Siobhan would have described herself as a binge drinking, party girl. The kinda girl that lived for the weekend and was always up for a night out, so much so she would get annoyed if ‘going for a couple of drinks’ wouldn’t lead into a big night out.

Lots of her drinking nights would end up in blackouts, in embarrassing moments she couldn’t remember, and occasionally ending up hurting and letting down her friends and family. So it eventually came to a point where Siobhan decided to stop drinking for a year, to reset her body and her relationship with alcohol. 

She has now been sober since December 2018, and still to this day cannot stop raving about how amazing sobriety is.

In this episode Siobhan talks about how, in hindsight, drinking may have been a coping mechanism and a way of dealing with the feelings of anger and grief, how she had a complete lack of regard and care for what happened to her when drinking, the ups and down of becoming sober and ultimately how sobriety has give her back time, money and ultimately life experiences - as well as offering some brilliant tips for anyone starting out their journey into sobriety.
