Fellow Wisconsinite and sober coach Heather Lowe loved the way alcohol made her feel from a very young age. She kept her fears that she might have a problematic relationship with alcohol under wraps for decades, until a flurry of life changes and tragedies led to her begin to ‘drink her grief’ instead of feeling it.  Heather wanted to blame everything but alcohol for the ways in which she felt like she was losing her grip, so much so that she began to try ‘sober experiments’ to prove to herself that alcohol wasn’t the problem. She was surprised to find, though, that she was feeling better and better during her periods of sobriety. Quitting for real felt terrifying. A longtime party girl, Heather couldn’t imagine losing friends through such a big life change. The honest truth was that she did lose friends, but she developed a much more important friendship along the way - a deep and meaningful friendship with herself.  Now seven years sober, Heather works with women in all stages of sobriety to help them navigate their own sober journeys. She wants you to know: There is so much potential in sobriety. Give yourself the chance!  Learn more about Heather:  www.ditchedthedrink.com Instagram  Are you craving a community in sobriety?
