Hiding Wine Bottles to 47 and Sober: Alex Leigh Story

At 47, Alex lives in Athens, wakes up with energy, and doesn't hide bottles in her shopping anymore. That wasn't her life three years ago.

Her dad died when she was seven. By fourteen, she'd found the first thing that made the pain go quiet. By sixteen, she was an international model flying first class, doing lines at the agency on Friday nights, losing years of a dream career to blackouts she can't remember.

Then came motherhood, a property crash that wiped her out, and the slow respectable slide of wine mom culture. Two bottles a night. Different wine shops so no one noticed. A St Patrick's Day that ended on a kitchen floor at 10 a.m., shaking.

This is Alex's story of what finally broke, what finally stuck, and why she calls this version of herself Alex Lee 2.0.
