Sobriety Built My Whole Life Back: Jamie Klingler

Jamie Klingler was drinking two bottles of wine a day, sometimes more, working the London bar circuit six or seven nights a week. By the end she was buying five-litre wine boxes. Two at a time. The party girl who cried in the corner.

She quit on Easter weekend, April 2020. Then she lost 100 pounds. Then a woman named Sarah Everard was murdered by a serving Met officer, and Jamie co-founded Reclaim These Streets, sued the police, and ended up debating policing at Cambridge Union.

None of it would have happened if she was still drinking. She is brutally clear about that.

This is what it sounds like when a woman stops numbing, starts running, and uses every minute alcohol stole back from her. For anyone wondering whether their drinking is theirs to question.
