Sober Stories: Hannah H

In this episode, I’m joined by Hannah from Peterborough, a mum of three daughters, wife, and dog lover, who is passionate about running, socialising, and spending time with her big, close-knit family.Hannah shares her honest journey with alcohol – one that was “on and off” for years. In her twenties, she lived for the weekends, often with no off switch, though she would take breaks here and there and found herself becoming sober curious two to three years before finally committing to sobriety. She opens up about the role alcohol played as both a form of rebellion and a “reward,” and how the cycle of trying to moderate always ended the same way.After one final night out where moderation slipped through her fingers again, Hannah woke up with a powerful “that’s it”energy and made the decision to quit drinking for good. Now, at 283 days sober (at the time of recording), she describes life as happier, clearer, and so much better without alcohol.This is a story about freedom, self-discovery, and the joy that comes from choosing a life that truly feels good.
