Summary
In this episode, we welcome Olivia, joining us all the way from Ireland. Olivia shares her experience of growing up in Ireland, where alcohol was considered a rite of passage, and the social pressure to drink was intense. She describes herself as a gray-area drinker, someone who could occasionally take nights off but often found it challenging to stop once she started. Tune in as Olivia recounts her transformative journey that began with a trip abroad and a life-altering panic attack, leading her to a profound realization: that moment marked a change in her relationship with alcohol, a truly divine experience that would forever change her life. This is Olivia’s story on the Sober Motivation podcast.
