Ed Stott & The Big Life Questions

The morning Sarah Rusbatch realised that her relationship with alcohol needed to change, she woke up in blood stained bed sheets with her 5 year old daughter peering at her face asking her what had happened. This sounds like an extreme story, but Sarah says that her relationship with alcohol would be familiar to SO many of us. BUT the night before she’d been at a 40th birthday party where the wine was flowing, she’d nipped outside for a cigarette and when she reached down to stub it out, she toppled over her heels and landed face first on the concrete. I’m sure you have a similar story - one where a few two many drinks has left you feeling anxious & embarrassed. I know I do. Sarah says that morning left her with an overwhelming feeling that there was another way of living. In 2019 she quit booze completely & is now an accredited Grey Area Drinking Coach.
