  • Sober Stories: James S
    Podcast Summary: Sober Stories from Everyday People with Sassy Sober Mum and JamesIn this episode, we chat with James, a proud Bristolian and passionate football fan, who shares his candid journey with alcohol. Starting off as a late teenager casually drinking John Smiths, James's drinking gradually escalated through his twenties, with almost every occasion marked by a drink. Becoming a dad sparked a turning point—he began to feel the need to slow down and reclaim control over his life.James opens up about the ups and downs of sobriety, the benefits he's enjoyed since stopping at 36, and the regrets he's had over upsetting people along the way. While he admits there were fun times, the constant feeling of being “less than” eventually wore him down, pushing him toward freedom through sobriety.Identifying as an alcoholic, James now hosts his own podcast, Mind Sober Matter, where he continues to explore sobriety with honesty and insight. You can listen to his show on Podbean and Spotify, and follow his journey on Instagram @soberfootball.Tune in for a heartfelt and real conversation about breaking free, finding peace, and living sober on your own terms.Helpful links: Get help from me directly by visiting www.sassysobermum.com Visit THRIVE Sober Coaching for sobriety guidance & resources here www.thrivesobercoaching.com Get access to my new online sobriety self-paced course here https://checkout.teachable.com/secure/1930842/checkout/order_jmr0kg9w(use coupon code HALFPRICE) Join my super friendly and safe online women’s sober community here: https://thrive-af-community.circle.so/checkout/thrive-subscription Email sassysobermum at [email protected] Alcohol Change UKWebsite: https://www.alcoholchange.org.ukHelpline: 0800 917 8282 (Available Monday to Friday 9 AM - 8 PM)Mind (Mental Health Support)Website: https://www.mind.org.ukHelpline: 0300 123 3393NHS Alcohol Support ServicesWebsite: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/alcohol-misuse

After meeting her soulmate later in life and getting married, she now runs her own cleaning business and is embracing all the excitement of a new, alcohol-free life.This is a moving, powerful, and ultimately uplifting conversation.

  • Sober Stories: Becs
    This week on Sober Stories from Everyday People, we’re joined by Becs from Manchester, who is 205 days sober at the time of recording.At just 25 years old, Becs has been on a journey with sobriety that began with sober curiosity as early as age 19. Now, with over six months alcohol-free under her belt, she shares her refreshingly honest take on what it’s like navigating sobriety as a young adult in a culture that often glorifies drinking.Growing up in the 90s and 00s and later entering the fashion industry, Becs found herself caught in the cycle of binge drinking—something that intensified during her university years. But today, she’s found new purpose and focus: renovating her first home, which she recently bought. With a very supportive partner and a toolkit of healthy habits, Becs is building a life that aligns with who she truly wants to be.This episode is full of inspiration—especially for younger listeners who might be wondering what life without alcohol can actually look like. We talk about everything from mental health and journaling, to making yourself accountable, weighing the real cost of drinking, and why keeping busy can be one of the best tools for staying on track.You can follow Becs on Instagram at @becselizt to keep up with her sobriety journey, renovations, and life in progress.Helpful links: Get help from me directly by visiting www.sassysobermum.com Visit THRIVE Sober Coaching for sobriety guidance & resources here www.thrivesobercoaching.com Get access to my new online sobriety self-paced course here https://checkout.teachable.com/secure/1930842/checkout/order_jmr0kg9w(use coupon code HALFPRICE) Join my super friendly and safe online women’s sober community here: https://thrive-af-community.circle.so/checkout/thrive-subscription Email sassysobermum at [email protected] Alcohol Change UKWebsite: https://www.alcoholchange.org.ukHelpline: 0800 917 8282 (Available Monday to Friday 9 AM - 8 PM)Mind (Mental Health Support)Website: https://www.mind.org.ukHelpline: 0300 123 3393NHS Alcohol Support ServicesWebsite: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/alcohol-misuse

  • Sober Stories: Claire T
    ** TRIGGER WARNING ** In this week's episode of 'Sober Stories from Everyday People' I am chatting all things spiritual with Claire who is a Reiki practitioner, a shamanic healer and a clairvoyant. Claire is 136 days sober at the time of this recording. It is not Claires first bout of sobriety although things feel very different this time round. In this episode I talk openly about my own spiritual awakening which has been happening progressively over the last 6-8 months. It is a deep conversation and a vulnerable one for me personally as I have never shared these thoughts openly with anyone. I have to say it is very exposing putting this episode out there but I do it in an attempt to help stitch together the sobriety and spiritual story together in a way that I have never heard before. I am wondering how many people feel similarly to me and whether this content resonates and relieves the thoughts of isolation a spiritual awakening can bring. Claire also talks about rape so please protect yourself if this will be triggering for you. Claire has a lovely energy and compelling tale of courage and bravery. You can find and follow her on instagram at @healingforascension and via https://www.healingforascension.co.uk. I hope you enjoy the episode and I would be extra grateful if you messaged me directly if this helped you in any way.
