The Drunk Video That Made Her Quit Drinking: Kate Taylor's Story

Kate Taylor pulled out her phone on December 20, 2021, two bottles of wine deep, and recorded herself sobbing for thirty minutes. She begged herself to stop drinking. The next morning she watched it back, felt sick, and quit. She has not had a drink since.This is the recovery story of a writer and mother of two who finally quit drinking after twenty years on the wheel. Kate tells Sober Dave about growing up in Hampstead Garden Suburb with Roald Dahl at the lunch table, her mother telling her she was a "changeling" at six, the drinking that started at fourteen, and the night she finally turned the camera on herself.You'll hear about: how mum wine culture sneaks up on working mothers; gray area drinking; the dangerous nights she only just survived; the 64-day attempt that ended with a barbecue glass of wine; and the simple recording trick that finally broke the cycle.If you've ever woken up with shame, guilt, and regret, this one's for you.This episode of One For The Road is sponsored by https://tweaklife.co.uk/ Further information and links attached below.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 and for Kate.https://www.instagram.com/walking_the_straight_line/https://www.drinkaware.co.uk/advice/alcohol-support-serviceshttps://nacoa.org.uk/Show producer- Daniella Attanasio-MartinezInstagram - @TheDaniellaMartinezThis season's podcast is sponsored by a great new start up called Tweak Life.
