Gray Area Drinking And Quitting Wine: Janey Lee Grace's Sober Story

She was the queen of natural health. Coconut oil. Kale. Five books on clean living. And a bottle of wine most nights.Janey Lee Grace was a backing singer with Wham, co-hosted Steve Wright in the Afternoon on BBC Radio 2 for 24 years, and looked, by every external measure, fine. But she was waking at 3am most days asking herself how she'd ended up there again. No rock bottom. No prison cells. Just years of stepping around the elephant in the room.Her GP told her to have an alcohol-free day. A therapist told her to switch the wine to vodka because it's less fattening. None of it worked. What did was Claire Pooley's book, The Sober Diaries, handed to her over Christmas to prep for a radio interview.2,000 days sober later, Janey runs The Sober Club and talks to Dave about gray area drinking, shame, and finding yourself again.If 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/grownuphustle/This show is in Partnership with disordered eating Coach Helen Bennett.email: [email protected]: https://www.helenbennett.co/TikTok, Facebook, YouTube & Instagram:  @coachhelenbennett Hosted on Acast.
