このコンテンツについて

I’ve created this podcast to share my experiences on the difficulties I had whilst drinking and why I decided to lead a sober lifestyle. I think it’s vitally important that alcoholism is discussed openly without fear of being stigmatised or judged. The more we talk about it, the less of a taboo it comes! I’m looking forward to sharing my story and speaking to guests to discuss our stories from the depths of despair during our drinking days, to understand how our lives have changed for the better since becoming sober.Louise Barham 社会科学

  • Kate from Shropshire - 300 days sober
    2022/10/19

    On this episode I chat to the lovely Kate from Shropshire, AKA Instagram's very own video queen - walking_the_straight_line

    Kate talks about her journey of self-discovery, videoing herself drunk and watching it back made her recognise that enough was enough and that she didn't want to live that life anymore. Waking up with that dreaded sense of impending doom, shame and guilt and trying to understand why she kept putting herself through this time and time again.

    From drinking 10 bottles of wine a week to her glorious life out in the country enjoying life's simple pleasures and how since becoming sober and living a healthier life, she no longer has those awful feelings of self-doubt and self-loathing.

    Kate talks us through how she got sober by joining an online sober community and taking responsibility and being accountable to herself and the group on a daily basis for her sobriety. Being supported and helping others in the same boat along the way has given her a solid foundation on her road to recovery.

  • Heather from Wakefield - 2 months sober
    2022/10/05
    On this week's episode I chat to the lovely Heather from Wakefield (finally! we've been trying to record this podcast for the last three weeks) Heather talks candidly about her consequences when drinking - how she stopped caring about a job she once loved how she ended up with no empathy for the patients she was caring for. We also touch on relapses and how telling ourselves it will be different this time - funnily enough, it wasn't! Heather shares her experience with AA and how this has helped her overcome a massive loss in the family and how her relationship with her mum has gone from strength to strength, working the steps and the dreaded anxiety around step 9. We discuss the array of alcohol-free options available - which might not suit everyone, but how they can help in social situations when you're not quite ready to announce to the world that you're an alcoholic!

  • Jo from Reading - Almost 5 years sober
    2022/09/28
    On this episode, I talk to a local lady from Reading, who is almost 5 years sober. Jo came into recovery at a very early age in her early 20's and talks about some of the misconceptions she had about being a younger person trying to get sober and how she thought she would be boring and wouldn't have a life without a drink. Jo talks about how being emotionally available to her friends and family and being in touch with her emotions are some of the biggest gifts she's been given since getting sober. We talk about some of the lessons we've learned since becoming sober and discuss how making peace with yourself and being accountable for your actions is another massive gift of sobriety. Jo has some fabulous words of wisdom for anyone on their alcohol-free journey and some useful advice for younger people new to sobriety Once again - we have a few giggles along the way when we touch on some of the simple pleasures that we enjoy that we used to look down upon.
