In this episode of Sober Stories from Everyday People Podcast, I am chatting to Lucy from Chichester in West Sussex.
Lucy is 7.5 months sober at the time of this recording and is a mum of five children. Lucy is also a DDPYoga fitness instructor after getting into it alongside her partner.

This week's Sober Stories from Everyday People podcast episode is with Marie Shaw from @unfunk_your_soul and @unfunk_your_soul_podcast. Marie lives in Staffordshire and is 576 days sober at the time of this recording.
Following redundancy, Marie changed her career and moved into the wellness space, training as an Exhale meditation instructor and offering clients healing, growth and relaxation through music, movement and meditation.
Marie started to realise that alcohol was not aligning with who she wanted to be. Marie became fed up with drinking 'just because' and decided to start a journey of sober curiosity that eventually resulted in her current stint of long term sobriety.
Marie relied on tools she built in her new career including journaling, meditation, music, movement and engaging in simple, but joyful pursuits.

TRIGGER WARNING - family member suicide
This week's episode is with Owen from Halesowen, near Birmingham. Owen is 13 months sober at the time of this recording. Owen, who lives with his wife and young daughter, talks about trying alcohol relatively late, at 16 (on the last day of school).
After starting, Owen got into a drinking crowd and drank as part of the 'sesh' with mates most weeks. After unexpectedly losing his father, Owen recalls drinking for more emotional reasons. Being an emotional person, he found solace in alcohol but it brought chaos and shame to the forefront. He stopped for six months to have a break but soon fell back into big drinking afterwards. He decided to stop for good 13 months ago and hasn't looked back since. He is hoping to share his story in an effort to help others (especially men) make the same brave decision to quit and feel happier.

This weeks Sober Stories episode is with 24 year old Sebastian from Bolton, who is 6 months sober.
Sebastian is raising money for charity by going 12 months alcohol free after losing his mum to cancer 2 years ago and meeting some incredible health mentors on BBC3's Go Hard or Go Home (2023) TV show.
Seb is big into fund raising and raising awareness for mental health, cancer and now all things alcohol free. Sebastian is open, honest and good fun to listen to. As a young person stopping drinking he has a great insight into the challenges younger people face when trying to remove alcohol. Sebastian isn't sure what will happen after the 12 months challenge is up, but what he does know of sobriety so far, its going to be difficult to beat in terms of how much better he feels and brighter things are in his life. Happy listening.

In this weeks episode I speak to Jessica in Norwich, UK, who is 5.5 years sober at the time of this recording. Jessica talks about the infamous 90's drinking culture and how it helped to cement her desire to fit in and feel interesting. Drinking became part of her identity and ramped up dramatically during her university years. After having her first child at 29, Jessica became more aware of the mummy wine culture that traps so many of us into weekly drinking and drinking as a 'reward'. Now sober, Jessica enjoys volunteering at festivals, crocheting and planning trips in her camper van. You can find and follow Jessica's journey on instagram at @picajaynd. Enjoy listening!

In this weeks episode of Sober Stories from Everyday People I am chatting to Lauren in Leeds who's been sober for almost 2 years at the time of this recording. Lauren lives with her 2 children and her husband, and runs her own business hiring TV & film locations around the UK, which she loves.
Lauren was a weekend binge drinker, abstaining in the week but usually drinking with no off switch at the weekend. This lifestyle was fun for a long time but Lauren talks openly about how it dragged her down in the days following big weekend binges, ultimately leading to her quitting. Laurens story is one I think so many will be familiar with and be trapped by, but due to the fact its weekends only, its easy to keep stuck in the cycle and not think its problematic enough to stop for good.
You can follow Laurens insta page or reach out to her via message via @uklocations

Apologies for the not quite up to standard sound quality of this episode
In this episode of "Sober Stories from Everyday People" podcast, listeners are introduced to the podcasts first sober husband and wife team, Alisha and Ricci, team from West London who are navigating their journey through sobriety. With a combined 650 days of sobriety, they share their powerful stories of transformation and newfound freedom from alcohol.
Alisha opens up about her upbringing, where alcohol was normalized due to her father's struggles with alcoholism. Growing up, she found herself in environments where drinking was prevalent, but these were normalised because everything was doing it. On the other hand, Ricci had a different path, not delving much into drinking until his mid teens, where a negative experience made him steer clear of alcohol until his early 20s.
Their lives took a turn when, after years of social drinking and drinking to relax at home as parents, Ricci decided to attend an AA meeting and make the courageous decision to quit alcohol. A few weeks later, Alisha followed suit, and they embarked on a transformative journey together.
During the podcast, they reflect on how sobriety has positively impacted their lives, their relationship, and their roles as parents to three sons. They highlight the challenges they faced, the support they received from each other and their community, and the joy they discovered in living alcohol-free.
Additionally, Alisha and Ricci discuss their passion project, the "Black and Sober Podcast," where they amplify stories of sobriety, especially within the Black community. They aim to inspire others and create a space of hope, peace, and empowerment for those seeking a sober lifestyle.
Listeners are encouraged to connect with Alisha and Ricci on their podcast and YouTube channel, @blacksoberpod, where they continue to share more inspiring stories and insights on the journey to sobriety. This episode serves as a beacon of hope and resilience for anyone embarking on or considering a sober lifestyle.
