Whenever or if ever Leece mentions being sober/giving up alcohol, she is sent a message of some sort. It's typically something like "gosh you're inspiring - the way you have done this - I'd love to", or "I'm what you call 'sober curious', but I don't know how to do it", and these messages often come with a variety of questions. Last week, Leece was sent one message in particular that held quite a few questions, and we decided it might be useful to approach it in its own podcast episode. So while Leece attempts to talk to these questions, you can choose whether to listen, and that is to say that this chat has the potential to be triggering to some, so please listen only if you're interested or intrigued. To begin the podcast, Leece gives a bit of context as to how this conversation has come about, some background into how she drank before, and then we roll into answering the questions. We talk about whether not drinking has influenced her relationships (and how), grieving the 'party girl', stopping 'forever' or rather with the approach of 'seeing how it goes', whether social occasions and events are less fun, and generally how she feels she is accepted socially, as a non-drinker. It's a huuuuuuge topic, and please know we're talking to this in a bid to answer many questions for those we know are interested - and without judgement. Thank you to this beautiful woman for her message that opened up this chat, and for her vulnerability in doing so. Love x
