Season 5 Episode 10 with Kim Bellas aka Sober Is The New Cool Mar 05, 2022

Show notes

On today’s episode we speak to Kim Bellas, aka Sober is the New Cool. In 2013, her 15 -year-old started having seizures. Like most teenagers, he enjoyed going to parties and socializing. A significant aspect of these parties was the consumption of alcohol, and her son was unable to drink due to his seizures. As a mother, it was instinctive to make him happy by assuring him that alcohol wasn't necessary for him to enjoy himself. It IMMEDIATELY dawned on her how hypocritical she was being as she found herself frequently drinking wine. To prove a point to her son, she stopped drinking for 3 months. The time went by quicker than she anticipated, and she decided to remain sober for another 3 months. Following 6 months of sobriety, she found herself happier than she had been in a while. What started as an example for her son became something she decided to commit to for her son and herself. It's now 2022, and she is proud to announce that she has been sober for 8 years. Sobriety has changed her outlook on life for the better and has improved both her physical and mental well-being. Her goal is to demonstrate that a SOBER LIFE is an exhilarating one, and anyone can reap the benefits.

Show notes

On today’s episode Alex and Lisa speak to Sarah Drage. Sarah lost her Dad to alcohol addiction in 2017 and she strongly believes the stigma attached to his illness prevented him from accessing lifesaving support. As a consequence of her Dad’s addiction, she developed OCD, anxiety, and PTSD which enabled her to properly understand what her Dad was going through himself. However, that also led to an immense amount of guilt because she only understood once he had died.
