Today writer and sobriety influencer Kate Taylor is on the show to share her sobriety story!
Kate tells us about growing up in a high end drinking culture, and how that made her romanticize alcohol from a young age. Then, she shares how her drinking got out of control (including an evening at a knitting club that ended up in a jail cell!).
One night, two bottles of wine deep, Kate couldn’t take it anymore. She drunkenly recorded an 8-minute video, begging her sober self to stop picking up that first drink. The next morning, sober, she found the courage to watch the video - and she chose to listen. She’s now 2 ½ years sober and refuses to give anymore of her life to alcohol.
Kate shares the challenges she faced having a partner who still drank, and what she’s experienced since he has chosen to try a year of sobriety. Plus, she tells us about the beautiful ways in which her relationship with her daughters changed when she gave up alcohol.
Kate is the host of The Sober Effect. She can be found on Instagram @walkingthestraightline
