Today’s Real Sober Mom, Jennifer, is celebrating one year of sobriety! To celebrate, she is coming full circle and telling her story here on the podcast after feeling so supported by other women who have shared their stories in the same space.  Alcohol found its way into Jennifer’s life through her older brother, and as they became adults a culture of partying became central to her family dynamic. This family dynamic weaved its way through her relationship with alcohol, even as she navigated liver issues in her twenties and cancer in her thirties.  Jennifer began to question her relationship with alcohol after she completed treatment for colon cancer. Once she realized that she was a ‘gray area drinker’ she began to explore quit lit and hired a sober coach, but it took some time for sobriety to fully ‘click’ for her. The Sober Mom Life community served as a major turning point for Jennifer as she realized for the first time that she wasn’t alone.  With a year of sobriety under her belt, Jennifer shares about how sobriety has impacted her family dynamic, and how finding new ‘tools’ to cope in place of alcohol has made all the difference in her life.  Are you craving a community in sobriety?
