Sober Motivation: Sharing Sobriety Stories
Health & Fitness:Mental Health
Kate started drinking at 14, and it would take decades before she realized there had to be more to life.
In this episode of the Sober Motivation podcast, I chat with Kate about her journey from childhood to adulthood fueled by heavy drinking, to her decision to choose a sober life. The discussion uncovers Kate's upbringing in a large London household and her early 20s described as a 'constant party', and her later relationship with alcohol, which led her to question her real identity and purpose in life. Eventually, these reflections triggered a transformation, with Kate finally embracing a sober lifestyle and reshaping her life in the process. Kate shares practical tips and recounts how she used journaling, walking outdoors, and interacting with others on a similar path to help her stay the course.
