Episode She Looked Like She Had It All Together While Secretly Struggling With Alcohol | Kori’s Sober Story
No one knew how much Kori was really drinking. From the outside, she was a wife, mom, and hard worker who seemed to have everything together. Behind the scenes, she was secretly taking shots, hiding her alcohol use, and questioning whether she had a drinking problem.
After years working in the bar and restaurant industry, drinking had become part of Kori’s everyday life. She could still show up for work and her family, but privately she was struggling with anxiety, shame, secret drinking, and a growing dependence on alcohol.
At just 29, a doctor warned Kori about elevated liver enzymes. Still, quitting drinking didn’t happen immediately.
For nearly two years, Kori became sober curious. She took breaks from alcohol, tried to moderate her drinking, listened to sobriety podcasts, and wondered whether she really needed to quit alcohol completely.
Then on December 10, 2023, there was no dramatic rock bottom. Kori woke up and decided she was done drinking.
In this episode of the Sober Motivation Podcast, Kori shares her experience with alcohol addiction, functional drinking, motherhood, getting sober, and building a life in recovery. She also talks about what finally helped her quit drinking and why she no longer wants alcohol to be part of her life.
If you’re questioning your relationship with alcohol, trying to moderate your drinking, exploring sober curiosity, or wondering what life without alcohol could look like, Kori’s sobriety story is a reminder that you don’t have to wait for everything to fall apart before making a change.
