Everyday I thought, this is it for me, this is how I am... I'm a drinker. I'm just a drinker.

Lindsey is a sober coach with 3.5 years of sobriety under her belt. She offers one on one coaching as well as a group coaching program called 'Sobriety is Your Edge.' She feels everyone is at different stages in their journeys so it varies to a degree. This helps spread the word that recovery is possible and that you do not have to drink. Lindsey was 'Friday Night Lights' in high school, and it was so normal that it seemed everyone was living the same lifestyle. Football games and the house parties after. She wanted to be popular, she wanted to fit in. She lived in a divorced family so her dad was not always home, and she threw parties all the time. College came and she drank every night of the week. Her grades suffered from the partying, but was able to graduate in the end with a respectable GPA.She was a blackout drinker in college which later flowed over to her adult life before she got sober. After work, it was always happy hour. She created this life that revolved around socializing still, outside of work. This turned into drinking after the bars by herself at home. She always thought once she had a family she would have to stop drinking. But that unfortunately never happened for Lindsey. Hear her story here.
