What I’m currently reading...

And here’s a little podcast sound byte to complete my Sober Curious triptych. Today’s key posts are dedicated to the Sober Curious podcast with journalist / author / podcaster / curator and book Douala @rubywarrington and my relationship with booze / struggles with mental health and what I found on the other side of alcohol ✊🏾🧘🏾‍♀️👑🥰. Her Sober Curious podcast speaks to any and everyone who is starting on the Sober journey or who is just plain curious and to everyone for whom ‘dry’ is more a way of life than a charity fund raiser for a few days or weeks. It is essential listening. Listen to all the podcasts in the series if you can find the time. There are so many different voices and life experiences, all are inspiring stories that will help, support and or inspire you and hopefully help you in a similar journey. The clip refers to the challenges I experience in my working nightlife since I made my decision to elect to lose the booze. People will always try and persuade me to take a drink when I say ‘No thank you’ - why is that? Ruby - you are a goddess - Thanks for inviting me to tell a little part of my story and share my journey towards better mental health!!!

I’ve been wanting to post this for weeks but had to hold it back because I was concerned that it needed proper space to breathe when the marketing and joys of Homobloc and all the other parties and glamorous pictures that I have posted in that time would have overshadowed it. Let’s face it - living sober is a serious, life changing topic and this is a beautiful, deep and raw ‘no holds barred’ look at my journey towards and reasons for being as sober as I can possibly be (and yet still being as fun as I am and always will be). It’s a journey not without it’s fits and starts. It’s a journey that makes every night in a club or a bar a massive challenge especially when both are geared to satisfying alcohol drinkers and the non alcoholic / mocktail option is most likely something from the fizzy drinks gun or water. My next three posts are dedicated to the podcast with @rubywarrington and my relationship with booze / struggles with mental health and what I found on the other side of alcohol ✊🏾🧘🏾‍♀️👑🥰. I spoke to the journalist / author/ speaker /podcaster for her essential Sober Curious podcast which speaks to any and everyone who is starting on the Sober journey or who is just plain curious and to everyone for whom ‘dry’ is more a way of life than a charity fund raiser for a few days or weeks.
