The Real Sober Moms with Sara

Today I am chatting with Sara! Drinking was the norm in Sara’s family growing up, so it felt only natural that she took to drinking once she became a mom herself. Alcohol cemented itself so deeply into Sara’s life after becoming a mom that she didn’t quit even while she was fighting cancer. It wasn’t until her sons were teenagers that she began to really ask herself some hard questions about her drinking. What behavior was she modeling for her sons? How could she ask them not to drink when she still drank every day? The hypocrisy proved too much for her, so Sara decided to explore what life could be like without alcohol. Since becoming sober, Sara lost her mom. It has been such a relief to find healthier ways to work through her grief than simply masking it with alcohol. Her favorite part of sobriety, though? It’s the simple fact that she can be the taxi cab driver for her teenage sons and their friends without worrying about if she’s sober. We now have a Patreon!
