The Real Sober Moms with Rachel

Trigger warning: In today’s episode we talk about Postpartum OCD. If you are struggling with postpartum, please speak to your doctor asap. Today I am chatting with Rachel. Rachel was always the party girl before she had kids. After becoming a mom, though, her relationship with alcohol grew darker. She leaned heavily on alcohol to cope with postpartum anxiety and intrusive thoughts… but it did the opposite of helping. About 5 months ago, Rachel hit her rock bottom.  After a long night of drinking she got sick in front of her daughters. The fear and worry in their eyes served as a major wake up call: She never wanted her girls to remember her like this. She had to be done. Since getting sober, Rachel has been able to find healthier ways to deal with the issues in her life. And just as importantly - she feels good about the example she is setting for her girls.We now have a Patreon! Please consider supporting the show by becoming a patron.
