Two Years Sober and Still Going: Jenna Hewitt's Story
About this episode
Jenna Hewitt looked completely fine from the outside. A thriving business in the wedding industry. Two kids. A husband who barely drinks. Strong friendships. Good runs with her training partner on weekends.
What no one saw was the three years of waking up at 3am, Googling "am I an alcoholic," reading every quit-lit book in secret, doing sober stints that kept collapsing, and feeling like she was losing herself one wine bottle at a time. The mummy wine culture gave her cover. She used it. She hid behind it.
Then she booked a discovery call with Dave. Two weeks later she WhatsApped him "I'm ready." That was over two years ago and she hasn't drunk since.
Jenna tells Dave why the one experiment she'd never tried was just carrying on, what it took to make sobriety non-negotiable, and why her seven-year-old can't remember her drinking at all. She also explains why operating as an iceberg with your sobriety is so much harder than finding the community that gets it.
