Sober Stories: Jessica
Listen now
Description
In this weeks episode I speak to Jessica in Norwich, UK, who is 5.5 years sober at the time of this recording. Jessica talks about the infamous 90's drinking culture and how it helped to cement her desire to fit in and feel interesting. Drinking became part of her identity and ramped up dramatically during her university years. After having her first child at 29, Jessica became more aware of the mummy wine culture that traps so many of us into weekly drinking and drinking as a 'reward'. Now sober, Jessica enjoys volunteering at festivals, crocheting and planning trips in her camper van. You can find and follow Jessica's journey on instagram at @picajaynd. Enjoy listening!
