Louisa was a nearly nightly bottle of wine drinker and had been since her 20's. When Louisa became a mother, the pressure to cope with motherhood with 'wine o'clock' increased and it seemed like the most natural thing in the world to turn to a glass of wine or two (or three) at the end of the day to cope.
In her day job, Louisa is a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist and Hypnotherapist and so she was finding a real incongruence with the advice she was giving other people and yet struggling herself behind closed doors.
In October 2022 Louisa couldn't ignore her desire to go sober any longer and began her sober journey. It wasn't a straightforward path though. Despite having all the tools she uses in her clinic with other people and habit change Louisa couldn't seem to get sobriety to stick.
So she ended up stuck in a resetting loop for a couple of months and her mental health really suffered in that time.
