Episode 23: From Daily Drinking to Daily 'Pinch Me' Moments: Morgaine’s Powerful Story

The Sober Chapters Podcast

What happens when you finally break free from a 17-year pattern of daily drinking? Morgaine joins Didi to share her remarkable nine-month sobriety journey that transformed not just her physical appearance—losing nearly 40 pounds—but her entire relationship with herself and her future.
Morgaine's powerful story reveals the subtle ways alcohol can dominate our identity without us fully recognising it. Despite maintaining a successful career and regular exercise routine, she found herself secretly drinking in the mornings during the pandemic, creating elaborate justifications, and feeling increasingly trapped in a cycle she couldn't escape alone. The turning point came when she stopped trying to moderate and instead questioned her fundamental beliefs about alcohol through coaching support.
The conversation explores how our ego's can begin to glamorize and miss drinking despite knowing how destructive it was. Both women share how journaling revealed years of setting the same goals while remaining stuck in patterns, and how sobriety finally unlocked the door to genuine progress and possibility.
Today, Morgaine coaches other women through their own alcohol-free journeys, describing her new life as a daily "pinch me" moment she never imagined possible. Her message radiates hope that anyone feeling that intuitive nudge toward questioning their relationship with alcohol is already on their path to transformation. Ready to discover what might be waiting for you beyond drinking?
