She'd just spent her sister-in-law's 40th dancing drunk in a garden until 3 a.m. By morning, she felt like a ghost. That was her last day one.</p><p>Eight years later, Kate is one of the leading voices in British sobriety. Co-founder of Love Sober, podcaster, author, and coach for midlife women rebuilding their lives without alcohol. The road there ran through a childhood with an alcoholic father, a bleak attempt at AA at 28, a 13-month sober streak that ended with a bottle of fortified liqueur, and a promise she's kept ever since.</p><p>You'll hear about: hiding behind the \"good girl\" mask; what happens when motherhood collides with wine culture; perimenopause and relapse; the inner child work that finally cracked her open; and the moment she said \"I will never leave myself again.\"</p><p>If you've ever wondered what eight years sober actually feels like, this one's for you.</p><p>https://www.instagram.com/mskatebaily/</p><p>Facbook: https://www.facebook.com/lovesober.cic</p><p><br></p><p>If you want to connect with me via Instagram, you can find me on the instahandle @Soberdave&nbsp;<a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/soberdave/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.instagram.com/soberdave/</a></p><p>or via my website&nbsp;<a href=\"https://davidwilsoncoaching.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://davidwilsoncoaching.com/</a></p><p>Provided below are links for services offering additional help and advice.</p><p><a href=\"https://www.drinkaware.co.uk/advice/alcohol-support-services\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">www.drinkaware.co.uk/advice/alcohol-support-services</a></p><p><a href=\"https://nacoa.org.uk/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://nacoa.org.uk/</a></p><p>Show producer- Daniella Attanasio-Martinez</p><p>Instagram - @TheDaniellaMartinez</p><p><a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/thedaniellamartinez/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.instagram.com/thedaniellamartinez/</a></p><p><a href=\"http://www.instagram.com/grownuphustle/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">www.instagram.com/grownuphustle</a></p>","author_name":"David Wilson - Sober Coach"}
