In this episode of Alcohol Uncensored, we chat with Sandra Parker, who is approaching five years alcohol-free after decades of believing alcohol was simply part of life. Living in Spain, surrounded by a culture where socialising often revolved around drinking, Sandra shares how she gradually realised alcohol was taking more than it was giving.
We explore:
- Why Sandra didn't start drinking until her mid-20s
- The role grief, loneliness and social connection played in her drinking
- How the pandemic became an unexpected turning point
- The power of journaling and self-reflection
- Building confidence without alcohol
- Finding creativity later in life and becoming a published author
- Why it's never too late to make a change
- The importance of community and connection on the alcohol-free journey
A warm, honest conversation about self-discovery, second chances, and creating a life that feels bigger than alcohol.
🎧 Alcohol Uncensored is the podcast for anyone questioning their relationship with alcohol, exploring an alcohol-free lifestyle, or looking for honest conversations about the realities - and rewards - of living without it.
