    Our Message, Our Voice | Stories of Sobriety and Connection

    In this powerful episode of Empowered by Sobriety, I sit down with Mel, Andy, and Helen to talk about Our Message Our Voice - a moving short film that highlights four deeply personal journeys through alcohol addiction and recovery. Together, we explore the themes of sober connection, the vital role of community, and the cultural conditioning that surrounds alcohol. Each guest brings a unique and inspiring perspective: 🔹 Helen from Bristol, now 3+ years sober, shares how therapy and daily spiritual practice have helped her pursue inner peace and transformation. Fresh from a life-changing retreat in Spain, she talks candidly about the freedom that sobriety has unlocked. 🔹 Andy, a Senior Pharmacy Technician in the NHS, is 5.5 years sober after what he calls a 25-year drinking "blip." He reflects on the power of building knowledge over time, the influence of Annie Grace’s The Alcohol Experiment, and how meeting others in recovery helped him finally feel worthy. 🔹 Melinda (aka SunflowerField on Soberistas), now 7.5 years alcohol-free, helped co-lead the Our Message Our Voiceproject. She talks about her early days on Soberistas, her work on the ProACTIVE hospital study, and how meditation and teaching Yoga Nidra have shaped her healing path. This episode is a heartfelt celebration of what’s possible when we speak out, support each other, and choose a sober life.  You can watch the film here on the Soberistas YouTube page. Empowered By Sobriety ... how has sobriety empowered you?
