Have you ever wondered if your drinking is “bad enough” to quit? What if a bottle of wine at night has slowly become something you rely on just to switch off?
Harriet didn’t think she fit the stereotype of someone with an alcohol problem. But drinking gradually became her escape from anxiety, overwhelm, motherhood and an undiagnosed ADHD brain. At her lowest point, she was drinking around a bottle of wine at home, sometimes more, while telling herself other people drank far worse.
In this episode of One For The Road with Sober Dave, Harriet shares how mummy wine culture and social drinking turned into relying on alcohol, the denial that kept her stuck, and why she finally decided to quit drinking.
Now six months sober, she also gets real about something that isn’t talked about enough: what happens when the excitement of early sobriety wears off and you have to learn who you are without alcohol.
If you’re sober curious, trying to stop drinking, questioning your relationship with alcohol, or looking for real sobriety stories, this episode is for you.
Topics: quit drinking, sobriety, alcohol addiction, alcohol dependence, sober curious, mummy wine culture, ADHD and alcohol, sober living, recovery, anxiety and alcohol.
