My Story From Struggling to

Sober, Happy, and Free

Hi, I’m Hattie  the founder of Sober Happy Free Recovery.

For years, I was caught in the exhausting cycle of trying to moderate my drinking. I convinced myself I could “cut back,” but the truth was, alcohol was running the show. On April 26, 2021, something shifted. That was the day I finally surrendered. I chose recovery  fully and honestly  and my life hasn’t been the same since.

Sobriety hasn’t just changed my habits. It has transformed how I see myself, how I move through the world, and what I believe is possible.

Why I Started Sober Happy Free

Sober Happy Free began on social media as a space to share honest reflections, sobriety tips, and motivational messages for those questioning their relationship with alcohol. As the community grew, I realized how many people needed something deeper than daily inspiration  they needed someone to walk beside them.

That’s when Sober Happy Free Recovery was born. A place where transformation is possible. A coaching space grounded in lived experience, professional training, and wholehearted support.

Who This Is For

Sober Happy Free supports people at every stage of sobriety, including:

  • Sober-curious individuals unsure where to start

  • High-functioning professionals feeling stuck

  • Parents and caretakers wanting to be more present

  • Those who’ve tried moderation but want real change

  • People who are already sober but struggling with motivation or identity

If you're tired of hiding your struggle  you're not alone. You're in the right place.

What I Believe

  • You don’t have to hit rock bottom to quit drinking

  • Sobriety is a beginning, not a punishment

  • Every step matters, even the messy ones

  • Shame isn’t a strategy  but self-compassion is

Your sobriety can be empowering, not isolating. You just need the right support.
