In this weeks episode of Sober Stories from Everyday People I am chatting to Lauren in Leeds who's been sober for almost 2 years at the time of this recording. Lauren lives with her 2 children and her husband, and runs her own business hiring TV & film locations around the UK, which she loves.

Lauren was a weekend binge drinker, abstaining in the week but usually drinking with no off switch at the weekend. This lifestyle was fun for a long time but Lauren talks openly about how it dragged her down in the days following big weekend binges, ultimately leading to her quitting. Laurens story is one I think so many will be familiar with and be trapped by, but due to the fact its weekends only, its easy to keep stuck in the cycle and not think its problematic enough to stop for good.

You can follow Laurens insta page or reach out to her via message via @uklocations
