From 4 Bottles A Night to Sober Mum: Leanne Baylis's Story

Leanne could drink a bottle of wine in six seconds. By the time her daughter was born with a 4% chance of survival, she was hiding everything. The pregnancy. The bottles. The nights spent crying in intensive care.

This is how a self-described "Winehouse" became a sober mum. Leanne Baylis tells Sober Dave about being adopted, finding wine at nine, dancing on cocaine at half five in the morning, and the goodbye letter she once wrote to her daughter before a friend stepped in.

You'll hear about the 10 minutes she had to decide her baby's fate; what "functioning alcoholic" really looked like; the "I'm sober but I'm not an alcoholic" lie she told herself; rebuilding life as a single mum to a medically complex daughter; and how she found the sober community that saved her.

If you've ever wondered if it's too late to quit, this one's for you.
