How Kate Bailey Quit Drinking Without AA

Kate Bailey was sweating alcohol on a bus, too shaky to take the tube home. She'd just spent her sister-in-law's 40th dancing drunk in a garden until 3 a.m. By morning, she felt like a ghost. That was her last day one.

Eight years later, Kate is one of the leading voices in British sobriety. Co-founder of Love Sober, podcaster, author, and coach for midlife women rebuilding their lives without alcohol. The road there ran through a childhood with an alcoholic father, a bleak attempt at AA at 28, a 13-month sober streak that ended with a bottle of fortified liqueur, and a promise she's kept ever since.

You'll hear about: hiding behind the "good girl" mask; what happens when motherhood collides with wine culture; perimenopause and relapse; the inner child work that finally cracked her open; and the moment she said "I will never leave myself again."

If you've ever wondered what eight years sober actually feels like, this one's for you.
