Hi everybody and welcome to

2

:

Sober Alcohol Free Stories.

3

:

I'm Victoria and I don't drink.

4

:

I spent most of my adult life

cultivating my party girl ways.

5

:

I blindly bought right into mummy

drinking culture and I never

6

:

could find that stop button.

7

:

It was fun, you see, until it wasn't.

8

:

And Google was fed up of

answering, do I drink too much?

9

:

Yes, Victoria, you do.

10

:

So I stopped, January 15th, 2022, when

after a boozy Christmas and a final

11

:

terrible hangover, I realized that

perhaps I was worth more than that.

12

:

I hung up my party girl shoes and I said

goodbye to the girl who was last in bed

13

:

and served shampoos at her kids parties.

14

:

I dug deep because drinking was

such a big part of my identity,

15

:

and it seemed enormous to stop.

16

:

And also, everyone drinks, don't they?

17

:

Turns out they don't.

18

:

So join me with my wonderful guests as

we share our stories, our sliding doors

19

:

moments, our sometimes embarrassing

antics, challenges, joys, and top tools

20

:

to show you that life on the other

side of booze is unimaginably better.

21

:

And you're not alone.

22

:

Maybe you'll even be inspired to

make your catchphrase, I don't drink.

23

:

Wouldn't that be a thing?

24

:

I'm Victoria and I don't drink.

About the Podcast

Sober, Alcohol Free Stories
"I Don't Drink"
If you’ve ever googled “do I drink too much” this podcast is for you!

This is for those of you who end up wondering what’s wrong with you, questioning how your friends can possibly drink so slowly, or worse can just have one with dinner (aliens). For those of you who have tried to moderate, just a Thursday, only red wine, not before 6, not after 9, not if I’m wearing blue 😊

For those of you who secretly don’t enjoy the theatre because you know the show will be an interruption to a booze filled evening. For those who fall out with loved ones, lose handbags, feel lonely or shameful the morning after, wear sunglasses on the school run, or enjoy way too many mints for an average human. For those who need something to change but feel it it’s impossible to break up with their loyal companion – booze.

The good news is you are NOT weird, or alone, there’s millions of us, just like you. You CAN stop drinking alcohol. I know this because until Jan 2022 I was all the above, and now “I don’t drink”.

In this podcast we will delve in to what it takes to become alcohol free in a society that’s quite frankly obsessed with drinking! I’ll talk to people just like you and me, some near the beginning of their alcohol-free life, and some further along, but all with one thing in common, the courage to stare booze in the face and say NO, NOT ME, NOT ANYMORE! They will share their sliding doors moments, regrets, loves, pink clouds and the tools that have helped them to succeed.

We will show you that life without the “wine witch” is actually pretty amazing, how we all thought we were losing something, but what we have gained is insurmountable. We will share how our lives transformed, skin began to glow, sleep became deep and relaxing, bodies became healthy, relationships flourished, careers progressed, and our minds were at peace. WE will show you that you deserve the chance to be happy and free and turn what may seem impossible into possible.

Listen along and join me in making your catchphrase “I don’t drink”.
