In this episode of Sober Stories from Everyday People, I speak with Ali, joining me near Reading in the UK, to share her powerful journey of sobriety. At the time of recording, Ali is 911 days sober.
Ali opens up about how her drinking began at 14 years old, carried into her early career as a journalist, and slowly became a part of her weekly life.
As a long-term ex-member of my THRIVE Sober Community, Ali has grown not only in her own sobriety but has also trained to become a sober coach herself — helping others find the freedom she has discovered.
Her story is one of resilience, transformation, and hope. Whether you’re sober curious, in early sobriety, or years alcohol-free, Ali’s journey will remind you that change is possible and that no one has to do it alone.
