Katie on Feeling Empowered, Increased Resilience and Being Present
Katie works as a full time musician in and around Perth Australia. This makes an interesting experience living in an alcohol free life, however it often reinforces the reasons why she doesn’t want to drink watching others slowly get inebriated regularly. Playing music in pubs and restaurants hits home hard about the hard sell society puts on promoting people to drink alcohol every time they go out. Ultimately there is zero wish to ‘join in’ anymore. Maybe have been there in early sobriety but after 2.5 years there is no wish to be drinking alcohol along with the masses.She called herself a chronic moderator... able to limit herself but never free from alcohol.
