Cherry Healy on Mum Wine Culture, Gray Area Drinking and Sobriety

Cherry Healy was drinking a bottle of wine a night by the time lockdown lifted. She had a brilliant career as a BBC presenter, a partner who barely drank, two kids she adored, and "wine o'clock" creeping into every evening.

This is the story of a woman who caught herself in the gray area before it got worse. Cherry tells Sober Dave about being raised by an alcoholic father, watching her drinking escalate through her thirties, the lockdown bottle of wine that became normal, and the Christmas her dad got pancreatic cancer and she finally said enough.

You'll hear about: drinking at home as a working mum; the danger zone between five and eight pm; what three months sober actually does to you; how she handled her hypersensitivity without alcohol; the mum wine culture problem; and what gray area drinking really looks like up close.

If you've been wondering whether you're drinking too much at home, this one's for you.
