A note before you listen
Today’s conversation includes significant discussion around suicide. These conversations are incredibly important and they are also difficult to hear. Please listen with care and put your wellbeing first. If this topic feels too close to home right now, you may wish to skip this episode or come back to it another time.

This week on No More Booze, I’m joined by Lisa Kelleher, a long-time listener who is over one year alcohol-free and who says this very podcast helped her get there. Lisa shares her honest story of growing up shy, using drink for confidence and later finding herself stuck in the 'I'll just go for two bottles' cycle that always went further than planned. We talk grief, trauma, mental health and how alcohol can shift from magic to medicine to misery. Lisa opens up about the moment she knew she was done, quitting nicotine too, starting HRT and building a life rooted in peace, fitness, faith and purpose. Having experienced profound grief throughout her life, she made the courageous decision to stop drinking alcohol when she realised it no longer aligned with her values or supported her mental health. Lisa openly shares how sobriety has transformed her life, bringing greater clarity, resilience, and purpose. Her story is one of hope, strength and showing that no matter what life throws at us, positive change is always possible. Enjoy!

Lisa is a proud mum to Anthony and Lorcan, co-founder of Shannon's Hopeline and a coach with the Liberties Running Club in Dublin. She is a passionate advocate for mental health, fitness and nutrition, believing that true wellbeing comes from looking after both the mind and the body.
