Is the fun of alcohol worth the consequences?
On Rosie FM, Cat Sims reflects on the perceived benefits of drinking, noting, "the benefit of alcohol is that it's really fun." But at what cost? Have you found that the temporary fun outweighs the potential downsides, or have you experienced a shift in perspective?
How has sobriety improved your listening skills?
Cat Sims reflects on a significant change since embracing sobriety on Rosie FM: "But I've heard, been in that conversation and what I realize, nobody's listening... in sobriety I can listen." Have you found that being sober has changed how you engage in conversations? Do you listen more and speak less?
How does identifying as an alcoholic change your approach to sobriety?
On Rosie FM, Cat Sims shares a pivotal moment: "I think for me I got to a point of desperation that actually giving up alcohol was easy." She emphasises the importance of openly identifying as an alcoholic to maintain her commitment to sobriety. Does using specific labels like this help you or someone you know stay on track?
Why do we treat alcohol addiction differently from other allergies?
Cat Sims draws a powerful analogy on Rosie FM, comparing alcohol sensitivity to a nut allergy: "I am allergic to alcohol...the only difference is, someone who’s allergic to nuts avoids them completely after a bad reaction, but those of us with alcohol issues might continue despite the danger." Why do you think society responds differently to these types of health challenges?
How do you navigate acknowledging mistakes with your kids?
On Rosie FM, Cat Sims opened up about the importance of taking responsibility for past actions that might have impacted her children. "I'm willing to go back to them and say, I know I messed up... and I'm really sorry." It's all about recognising and addressing the impact of our actions. How do you handle these conversations in your family?
Sobriety doesn't make everything perfecy, life can still be tough, but it does equip us to handle life better. As Cat Sims shared on Rosie FM, "My worst day sober is still better than my best day drunk."
