Meet Melissa - a fellow Wisconsin BadA$$ who decided it was time for the booze to GO!
from The Sober New Yorker · host Melissa McGovern
Born & raised in Appleton, WI Melissa graduated from UW Platteville with a degree in Forensic Investigation. She lived & worked in northern VA for a short period of time and then settled back in Appleton. As a typical WI party girl, alcohol suited her for many years, but when her falls became more frequent (including a full hip replacement at age 31) she started testing out dry January stints and then longer breaks from alcohol throughout 2023. These breaks ultimately led her to give sober life a try and has been living "outside of the box" since February 2024.https://www.instagram.com/mam_i_am1/Melissa's podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/weighing-into-reality/id1745186858
