The Real Sober Moms with Maria

01/19/24 • 32 min
If you’re on a sober curious journey, this one's for you! Women like Maria are the reason I started the Sober Mom Life community. Maria joined the group while she was still drinking. Though she was highly conflicted about quitting, she had the incredible courage to show up honestly, ask hard questions, and work through her challenges with support!
Maria’s story highlights the sneaky way that alcohol and addiction can slowly take over our lives. Disordered eating had been a challenge in Maria’s life from a young age, and today she details how alcohol, cannabis and stimulants began to intertwine with her binge eating disorder until her coexisting addictions ultimately came to run her life.
Though she’d been sober curious for years, having her second child served as the wake up call she’d been waiting for. She’s made massive progress: She is 6 months alcohol-free, 5 months cannabis-free, and 22 days stimulant free! Maria loves the deeper self respect and confidence she’s gained. She encourages you to just try! You never know where it will lead you.

Jenna has such an important perspective to share, and I’m so glad we were able to have this chat! For more of Jenna’s great content, check her out on Instagram at @jennadillulio.

Celebrating Four Years of Sobriety!
You guys, it’s a big day. I am officially four years sober! Today I’m sharing my thoughts from these four incredible years: What I’ve learned, how I’ve changed, and the biggest takeaways I’ve had.
I hope these reflections will help you on your own journey, and I just want you to know: the person you are today is not the person you will be one year from now if you take the leap and go alcohol free. There is so much growth, healing and beauty on the other side. Give yourself the chance to experience it!
