Madeline grew up with a keen awareness of the dangers of alcohol, as her family had a history of alcoholism. Despite this knowledge, she had her first drink at the age of 17. However, it didn't take long for Madeline to experience overwhelming anxiety whenever she consumed alcohol.

During a year-long trip to Australia, alcohol started to dominate Madeline's life. Recognizing the need for change upon her return to Canada, she knew she had to make significant adjustments. Although her drinking didn't lead to any severe consequences, she understood internally that it was a problem and that her life could be better without it.

One evening, after a typical night of sharing wine with a friend, Madeline woke up with a firm conviction that things had to change. This moment marked the beginning of her journey towards sobriety.

Tune in to this episode on the  Sober Motivation podcast to hear Madeline's inspiring story firsthand. She shares her experiences, challenges, and the transformative process of embracing a life without alcohol. Madeline's story is a testament to the power of self-awareness, determination, and the pursuit of a healthier and more fulfilling life. This is Madelines story on the sober motivation podcast.
