The Real Sober Moms with Dani

Today I’m joined by Dani, a fellow Wisconsinite who is celebrating 84 days sober! Dani never thought she’d make it this far with sobriety. Alcohol had been central to her life since childhood… She grew up spending days in bars with her dad, was given her first drink by her dad, and was always led to believe that alcohol was just a normal part of life. At the same time, though, she dealt with abuse from her father which was exacerbated by his addiction to alcohol. Throughout adulthood, Dani reached for beer to cope more and more. But then, one action by her child made her realize she had to quit, because she never wanted him to grow up the way she did. Today we talk about the importance of support on your sobriety journey, the challenge of trying to quit both alcohol and cigarettes at the same time, how hard the big ‘firsts’ can feel, and so much more. Dani wants you to know that while you are doing this yourself, you are not alone! There is always a huge community of other sober women to support you. Community makes all the difference. Join The Sober Mom Life Cafe for 5+ Peer Support meetings each week and a private Facebook group to connect with sober and sober-curious women. Get Your Copy of my book  The Sober Shift Join me on Substack: https://suzannewarye.substack.com/Follow on Instagram  @thesobermomlifeSmall Group SupportFresh 30Beyond 30We have merch!!!! Check it out here!Love this show?
