Send us Fan MailWelcome to The Sober Living Stories Podcast!  Join us as we discuss the inspiring sober journey of Lisa May Bennett, author of the memoir "My Unfurling:  Emerging from the Grip of Anxiety, Self Doubt and Drinking."  A tale of battling anxiety, self-doubt, and alcoholism, Lisa's narrative reminds us that we are usually just one decision away from the transformative power of choice. By the age of 51, she made the life-altering decision to quit drinking, turning her focus towards her true passion - writing. Lisa's story serves as an empowering reminder that it's never to reclaim your life and rewrite your story. Can sobriety become a pathway to self-confidence and self-acceptance? Lisa May Bennett is living proof that it can.  As a self-proclaimed late bloomer who candidly reveals her inner struggles and insecurities, Lisa shares how alcohol once served as her crutch. With her decision to become alcohol-free, that all changed.  After getting sober, Lisa's confidence began to soar and her writing took center stage when her childhood dream of becoming an author became a reality.  This chapter of our conversation explores the challenges of disassociating alcohol from once-loved activities and emphasizes the importance of finding healthy sober outlets to nurture self-esteem and rediscover a life worth living.  As we dive deeper into Lisa's sobriety journey, we touch upon the complexities it brought into her personal relationships. Lisa opened up about her relationship with her mother and how writing about her personal journey positively influenced it. As we discuss ways to navigate through early sobriety, Lisa's insights and advice provide invaluable perspectives. We wrap up the episode with a fascinating insight into the world of writing, her desire for the occasional mocktail, and the excitement of self-publishing.  Join us on this journey of self-discovery, growth, and sobriety, and tune in to listen to Lisa's remarkable story.Visit Lisa May Bennett - Author to purchase her book, subscribe to her newsletter, listen to her guest podcasts, view testimonials and stay social with her on IG Lisa May Bennett (@lisamaybennett) • Instagram photos and videos and FB (1) Facebook.Sober Living Stories Podcast Host Jessica Stipanovic is a writer, podcast host, and founder of the Female Entrepreneur Organization.
