The baby wouldn’t stop crying. We were 26, knackered, and suddenly drowning in wine we never meant to drink.   When parenthood hit, so did the isolation. Nights out turned into nights in, and without even realising it, we brought the pub into the house. One glass became a bottle. Tuesdays felt like Fridays. And before long, drinking wasn’t a choice—it was a ritual.   In this episode of the 1000 Days Sober Podcast, I share how being homebound in my twenties made my drinking worse, the subtle shift that happens when alcohol moves from social to medicinal, and the steps you can take to break that cycle before it wrecks more than your evenings.   We’ll cover: – How “just one glass” at home turns into a hidden pattern. – Why your PARTS convince you alcohol = connection. – The truth about what your kids learn when they see you drink. – Five practical tips to stop drinking at home as a parent.   👉 If you’re starting to notice alcohol creeping into your evenings, especially since becoming a parent, you’re not broken—you’ve been sold the Liquid Lie. STRIVE Foundations is your first step to breaking free. It’s where you’ll learn how to take back control and begin living alcohol-free-as-f***.
