“I decided to quit drinking whilst working as a nurse during the height of the pandemic – and it made my life so much easier.”
Melissa is a Getting Unstuck graduate who decided to take the plunge in April 2020, whilst working as a nurse during the pandemic. Being sober helped her handle the stress of working under extreme pressure and make the most of her days off.
In 2020 Covid hit and the world was shutting down. I realised I had an option. I could become really chunky, drink every day and eat crappy food. Or I could see if putting vitamins in my body, staying sober, getting some exercise and reading more books helped more.
During that time I lost weight, I slept great and I really handled the stress. I was forced into patients rooms with covid and scared of what I was going to bring home to the kids.
I realised, why would I put poison in my body? Why would I want to hurt myself when there’s already a disease out there that’s really, really hurting people?
I am still amazed that I do not wake up so dehydrated. For the first six or seven months I woke up prepared to be hungover. That was my life. Waking up without a hangover is the best gift.
I can be available at any time. I’m not worried about how I’m going to get there or how I’m going to get home. My kids are big in the scouts and I’m always the health officer, the one distributing the band aids and the bug spray. It’s nice to be counted on.
People say to me, ‘I can’t believe you don’t drink anymore.’ And I say, why should I? It’s so last year!
“Sobriety helped me lose weight and lose my anxiety – I’m a completely different person now, I was so stressed before.”
“After the death of my son, the bottle would be opened every night. I didn’t know how to cope in any other way.”
“I was about to become a grandmother for the first time, and I wanted to be trusted to help look after him.”
