In this podcast episode, Heidi from Portsmouth takes us through her story with alcohol and 7 months of sobriety. Starting at 13, Heidi never saw her drinking as a real issue until she reflects on it with the benefit of hindsight. Much like myself, Heidi shares that she drank alcohol to ‘get drunk’, almost from the get-go. Since quitting, she has improved her relationship with her 14-year-old daughter and her husband, as well as created many new healthy lifestyle habits.

This week I am joined by the very lovely Jackie from Norwich. Jackie has been sober for 8 years after a long history with drinking on and off. Jackie explains she had lots of little warning signs to stop drinking, but it wasn’t until she had some major surgery in 2014, that alcohol started to become a distant memory for her. Now, after many years of successful sobriety, she shares her story properly for the first time.

This week I chat to the absolutely lovely Louise from South East London. Her story is so similar to mine, from just drinking like a 'regular' person with her friends and family, to getting blackouts and managing feelings of anxiety and shame. Louise opens up about when it all started to go wrong for her, how she tackled getting sober and most importantly, what she loves about her sober life now.

Katherine joins me from Brisbane in Australia, on the day she celebrates 4 months sober. Describing her journey with alcohol, in her words, it was 'lots of little rock bottoms' that added up to lead her to a decision to finally stop drinking.

Not only does she eloquently explain her journey and how she got sober, she shares fantastic tips for sobriety. The two books she mentions are:

• Sobering by Melissa Rice

• The Sober Diairies by Clare Pooley

Katherine is honest, open and very relatable. You can follow her journey on Instagram @turk.bird.
