Hi everybody and welcome to

2

: 00:00:03

Sober Alcohol Free Stories.

3

: 00:00:05

I'm Victoria and I don't drink.

4

: 00:00:07

I spent most of my adult life

cultivating my party girl ways.

5

: 00:00:11

I blindly bought right into mummy

drinking culture and I never

6

: 00:00:14

could find that stop button.

7

: 00:00:15

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

8

: 00:00:18

And Google was fed up of

answering, do I drink too much?

9

: 00:00:21

Yes, Victoria, you do.

10

: 00:00:23

So I stopped, January 15th, 2022, when

after a boozy Christmas and a final

11

: 00:00:28

terrible hangover, I realized that

perhaps I was worth more than that.

12

: 00:00:32

I hung up my party girl shoes and I said

goodbye to the girl who was last in bed

13

: 00:00:37

and served shampoos at her kids parties.

14

: 00:00:39

I dug deep because drinking was

such a big part of my identity,

15

: 00:00:43

and it seemed enormous to stop.

16

: 00:00:45

And also, everyone drinks, don't they?

17

: 00:00:47

Turns out they don't.

18

: 00:00:49

So join me with my wonderful guests as

we share our stories, our sliding doors

19

: 00:00:53

moments, our sometimes embarrassing

antics, challenges, joys, and top tools

20

: 00:00:58

to show you that life on the other

side of booze is unimaginably better.

21

: 00:01:02

And you're not alone.

22

: 00:01:04

Maybe you'll even be inspired to

make your catchphrase, I don't drink.

23

: 00:01:08

Wouldn't that be a thing?

24

: 00:01:10

I'm Victoria and I don't drink.
