She Sold Alcohol For A Living. Then She Quit Drinking.

from One for the Road: The Quit Drinking Podcast

Anna Donahay spent 15 years in Soho ad agencies, falling in and out of bars from 6pm to 9pm every night, then stopping at Tesco's for a bottle of wine on the way home. She was the woman building campaigns that sold alcohol to women just like her.Then her youngest daughter looked across the kitchen during a family game and said, "Daddy, why is Mummy behaving so funny?"Coming up to four years sober, Anna now hosts The Big Drink Rethink and uses her insider perspective to call out exactly how the drinks industry hooks young mothers, teenagers, and exhausted professionals. She quit without AA, without rehab, through a slow-burn approach of blips, restarts, and tiny commitments to herself.You'll hear about: drinking on the manufacturing track at Rover in her early twenties; the maternity grief that pulled her back in; texting her husband to come home earlier so she could start the wine; and the philosophy that finally worked, making alcohol irrelevant.If you've ever wondered how a "good drinker" finally stops, this one's for you.You can listen to The Big Drink Rethink podcast on all podcast platforms – or through this link: The Big Drink RethinkAnd you can connect with Anna via:Website: thebeliefscoach.comInstagram: instagram.com/bigdrinkrethinkIf you want to connect with me via Instagram, you can find me on the instahandle @Soberdave https://www.instagram.com/soberdave/or via my website https://davidwilsoncoaching.com/Provided below are links for services offering additional help and advice.www.drinkaware.co.uk/advice/alcohol-support-serviceshttps://nacoa.org.uk/Show producer- Daniella Attanasio-MartinezInstagram - @TheDaniellaMartinezhttps://www.instagram.com/thedaniellamartinez/www.instagram.com/grownuphustleLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/annadonaghey Hosted on Acast.
