Sober Curious After A Lifetime Of Caretaking: Jess Frost's Story

Jess Frost grew up in a beautiful Leicestershire village, in a nice house, in a family everyone called the party couple. Behind the door it was different. Her dad cycled through psychosis, hospital admissions, a cult, then alcoholism. Her mum drank to cope. Jess and her sister tiptoed on eggshells.

At 18, three of her four grandparents had died by suicide. Jess was the one telling her mum to leave her dad. She became his carer. She drank on her own, ran obsessively, smiled at work. In New York at 27, she broke down.

Six years on she's sober-curious, building toward dry-before-40, running her own coaching business for adult children of alcoholics, and one of the brightest voices in NACOA's community.
