Episode 64 - Dawn

Send us Fan Mail“Retired party animal. Professional life-changer.”My name is Dawn, although these days, many people know me as ‘Sober Fish’.For most of my adult life, I lived the party lifestyle. On the outside it looked fun, but behind the scenes it was sleepless nights, extreme emotions, toxic relationshits, two-day hangovers and a growing sense that something wasn’t right.By 2016, I was overweight, my eczema was out of control, and I felt stuck in a loop that was slowly draining the joy out of my life.Something HAD to change so I decided to do a personal experiment: one whole year without alcohol or cigarettes, and I’d document the journey publicly on social media.I drank my last alcoholic drink on 27 November 2016, fully expecting to return to my old lifestyle once the year was up.But something unexpected happened.That experiment didn’t just change my habits — it actually changed my life! What began as a one-year challenge became a completely new way of living, and I’ve remained alcohol and smoke free ever since.Today, I support others who feel stuck in the same cycle I once did through coaching, mentoring and my private community, helping them change their relationship with alcohol and build a life they no longer feel the need to escape from. 🐟Catch Dawn on Instagram at:https://www.instagram.com/soberfishie?igsh=ZjVwbjJqaDJmczR3or on Facebook at:https://www.facebook.com/share/18vvijBris/?mibextid=wwXIfrDawn's Linktree:https://linktr.ee/Soberfish?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAdGRleAQqhjhleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZA8xMjQwMjQ1NzQyODc0MTQAAadjo2U7bFrRAONzzbycrGG000G7TntaAHX6KJAa7Y141EdsrbGnDAFn3jmhLw_aem_NIEBd5DpI53j1Sa6L4HNPQAlcohol Explained - William Porterhttps://amzn.eu/d/01rqPozmGlorious Rock Bottom - Bryony Gordonhttps://amzn.eu/d/014kt028Rain in my Heart Documentary - BBChttps://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00793zq/rain-in-my-heartSupport the showMy Instagram is:https://www.instagram.com/recovery_jimmyAnd you can find all my other links at:https://linktr.ee/jimmythistleBuy me a coffee…https://buymeacoffee.com/afterhourswithjimmytAlcohol Explained - William Porterhttps://a.co/d/0854fIb6This Naked Mind - Annie Gracehttps://a.co/d/0gy6mT9ZA Million Little Pieces - James Freyhttps://a.co/d/0jdcIjGbDonate:https://motiv8.im/donate/https://nacoa.org.uk/get-involved/donating/donate/
