Grey Area Drinking: Why Louise Quit Wine For Good

One glass of wine. That's all it took. By 3 a.m. Louise Morgan would be wide awake, heart racing, the anxiety she'd taken medication to manage now back in full force.

For five years she lived like that. Not a daily drinker. Not someone hiding bottles. Just a mum and a working professional who'd have one glass on a Tuesday and pay for it for the rest of the week.

This bonus episode of One for the Road is for anyone who just finished Sober October and isn't sure what comes next. Louise tells Sober Dave how she went from grey area drinker to 150 days sober without ever hitting rock bottom. She talks about the small habits she stacked, the journal she kept on a beach in Cornwall, and why being honest about her anxiety was easier than calling it a health kick.

If you've ever thought you don't drink enough to count, listen to this one.
