Madeline never hit what most may call ”rock bottom”, but she still knew her relationship with alcohol was not helping her life.

From Sober Motivation: Sharing Sobriety Stories Brad McLeod

Madeline grew up with a keen awareness of the dangers of alcohol, as her family had a history of alcoholism. Despite this knowledge, she had her first drink at the age of 17. However, it didn't take long for Madeline to experience overwhelming anxiety whenever she consumed alcohol.

During a year-long trip to Australia, alcohol started to dominate Madeline's life. Recognizing the need for change upon her return to Canada, she knew she had to make significant adjustments. Although her drinking didn't lead to any severe consequences, she understood internally that it was a problem and that her life could be better without it.

One evening, after a typical night of sharing wine with a friend, Madeline woke up with a firm conviction that things had to change. This moment marked the beginning of her journey towards sobriety.
