From a Bottle of Red a Night to 6 Months Sober: Jodie Clark

Jodie Clark looked completely fine from the outside. Two kids. A husband she loved. A career she was thriving in. Monday morning meetings with senior leadership she always nailed.She also drank a bottle of red wine on her own most nights, gained a lot of weight during COVID, started falling over on her way to bed, and once sat next to her newborn baby in his Moses basket feeling frustrated that he was interfering with wine time.She tried two-week breaks. She tried three-week breaks. She tried blaming the antidepressants. None of it stuck. Then she set herself a 100 day challenge to shift the lockdown weight, no other goals attached. She's now nearly 200 days in and her whole life looks different.Jodie shares why grey area drinking is so easy to hide, what it took to admit her drinking was the problem and not the medication, and why she rejects the "recovering alcoholic for life" framing in favour of something she calls discovery.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 for Jodi.Jodi | Helping people become alcohol free (@soberflourish) • Instagram photos and videos      Sober Flourish facebook.com      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/Learn more about your ad choices.
