Real Sober Mom Julie grew up in a family where, throughout the years, alcohol became increasingly present. As a young adult, her mother’s relationship with alcohol had become so difficult for Julie to bear that she asked her mother to leave one day after she came to visit her.  As Julie became a mom, alcohol found its way more deeply into her own life through Mommy Wine Culture. While she never experienced a ‘rock bottom’, something started to feel increasingly off. She felt like an bad mom and less and less like herself.  After opening up to her husband about her challenge it all came into focus - she did not want to be a mom who drinks, and she did not want her daughters to have a mom who drank.  Quitting, however, was a challenge. Julie attempted dry Januarys and dry weeks, but she could never make it very far. Community ended up being the game changer that Julie needed. She has now achieved 10 months of consistent sobriety with regular support from the Sober Mom Life Cafe!  Julie is so happy to be able to give her daughters a childhood with a sober mom, and she is so grateful to the community of other sober moms who have made her feel supported in the way she needs to maintain her sobriety!  Are you looking for community in sobriety?
