Abi opens up about her journey from teenage binge drinking in 1990s England to four years of hard-won sobriety — and everything in between.</p><p>Abi is originally from the UK, but now lives in New Zealand. Mum to 3 teenage girls, she spent most of their childhood buying into the &apos;mummy wine&apos; culture, rushing bedtime so she could get to the couch and her bottle of wine (or 2). After one of her daughters told her they didn&apos;t like the sound of her voice when she was drinking, Abi decided to quit, thinking it would be easy. It took 4 years of constant stop-starting but she got there in the end. Now over 4 years sober, she&apos;s finally become the mum she always knew she should be. She now educates people on alcohol-related issues through her 1:1 coaching and her own podcast, The Sober Connection. <br/><br/>You can find Abi on instagram:<br/>https://www.instagram.com/levelup.withabi?igsh=MTdmbTBlN3k0NzM1bA==<br/><br/>30 Days to Freedom by Abi King<br/>https://subscribepage.io/30-days-to-freedom-reset<br/><br/>The Sober Connection Podcast<br/>https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-sober-connection/id1809595582<br/><br/>Mrs D is Going Without - Lotta Dann<br/>https://a.co/d/04SPXfBI<br/><br/>Boing Point <br/>https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11127680/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk<br/><br/>The Virtues<br/>https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7186126/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk</p><p><a rel=\"payment\" href=\"https://www.buzzsprout.com/2568215/support\">Support the show</a></p><p>My Instagram is:<br/>https://www.instagram.com/recovery_jimmy<br/><br/>And you can find all my other links at:<br/>https://linktr.ee/jimmythistle<br/><br/>Buy me a coffee…<br/>https://buymeacoffee.com/afterhourswithjimmyt</p><p>Alcohol Explained - William Porter</p><p>https://a.co/d/0854fIb6</p><p>This Naked Mind - Annie Grace</p><p>https://a.co/d/0gy6mT9Z</p><p>A Million Little Pieces - James Frey</p><p>https://a.co/d/0jdcIjGb</p><p>Donate:</p><p>https://motiv8.im/donate/</p><p>https://nacoa.org.uk/get-involved/donating/donate/</p>","author_name":"Jimmy Thistle"}
