Today is my ten-year sobriety birthday. Ten years without a drink. Ten years of showing up for life instead of running from it.

In this episode I share honestly about how I first got sober in my 20s in AA in London, how I drifted away, and how one ordinary morning at the school gates changed everything. The woman I bumped into that day — someone I’d known from those early meetings — became my sponsor. Over coffee after the school run we talked recovery, motherhood, and how to get through just one more day. Those chats anchored me.

Since then, I’ve stayed sober through divorce, burnout, homelessness, heartbreak, and the messy, beautiful realities of parenting and relationships. Sobriety has given me the chance to be a present mother, not a perfect one. It’s also given me the freedom to date without clinging, without losing myself.

I talk about moving from digital marketing to nursing, from chaos to calm, from living to impress to living in truth. Most of all, I talk about joy — the kind that isn’t dependent on anyone or anything outside of me.

This isn’t a how-to or a polished “ten steps to success” story. It’s just me, ten years sober, reflecting on what I’ve learned, what I’ve survived, and why I still only ever take it one day at a time.

History Repeats @imregii

Sober in October by Chad Walt is a raw and heartfelt ballad about the struggle of choosing sobriety and the quiet battles that come with it. Through vivid lyrics like celebrating a birthday alone by fridge light, hiding trembling hands in a thrift store jacket pocket, or finding old memories in a forgotten polaroid, the song captures the loneliness, temptation, and reflection that follow giving up alcohol. The recurring chorus with images of black coffee steam, heavy mornings, and the haunting feeling of loss paints sobriety as both a burden and a path toward clarity. Walt balances pain with hope, showing that while each day feels longer and heavier there is also the pursuit of chasing the silence where peace might be found. It is an intimate exploration of struggle, resilience, and the search for softer truer joy through clear eyes.
