As a fitness professional, Hollie Nicholson always kept alcohol out of her weekdays, but those weekends of drinking still took their toll until, in 2019, she started asking questions. For the next six years, Hollie drank with the blinders off. She noticed how inconsistent moderation success could be, she learned about the true impacts that alcohol could have on her body and mind, and she felt how good she could feel through stints of sobriety. But still, a question remained: how could you live a full sober life?
In May of 2024, shortly after she turned 40, Hollie woke up after a night of drinking with severe anxiety and she asked herself – what if she could live her next decade totally different than her last? At that moment, she had a lot of questions but she knew one thing – she was getting sober.
The Cafe has given Hollie such a sense of support and community. She’s even experienced an incredible connection story with another member that she tells on the pod!
