Alice Stole from Work to Fund Her Drinking

Join our Patreon: ⁠⁠https://patreon.com/SoberlySpeaking⁠ Alice openly shares her experience of applying for bankruptcy at just 20 years old, drowning in debt, and stealing from multiple jobs to fund her party lifestyle. After an abusive relationship and an unplanned pregnancy from a one-night stand, she then went on to meet her now partner, who gave her a final ultimatum. It was then that she finally began to reevaluate her drinking. Alice considers herself sober curious, admitting she’s never been able to reach the one-year sober mark. Her story is one so many can relate to—knowing the damage alcohol causes but still struggling to let it go completely. Follow Alice on InstagramReady to share your story?
