Episode 219 – Interview with Sarah Williamson, founder of “Drink Less Live Better”

Sarah Williamson resides in England and has spent the last twelve years coaching and mentoring people who’ve struggled with their addictions and mental health challenges. She feels that choosing to change your relationship with alcohol before you hit rock bottom is a powerful and positive choice to make.

On December 8th, 2022 she celebrated three years of being sober. By her own admission, it took her many years to accept that she wanted her drinking habits to change, and even after making that tough decision, it was six more months until she was truly ready to quit drinking.

Sarah is very passionate about spreading the message that our lives can be joyful and fun on the other side of our drinking and using behaviors. She’s quick to remind others that there’s no need to feel lonely or stressed in your pursuit of recovery, and Sarah also points out that there is no boredom on the journey toward sobriety.

In the early days of her recovery, she did a lot of the work quietly and without telling any of her friends and family. She felt ashamed and guilty about wanting to stop drinking but wisely took time to listen to and read other people's recovery stories and eventually found online recovery communities to be part of. Sarah felt bad because at the time she was working in Youth Justice - talking to young people about their substance use whilst not addressing her own!
