For Ruby Williams, living in Northern California's wine country, daily drinking became a coping mechanism for a demanding corporate job and the pressures of single motherhood. Even after weight-loss surgery, her struggles with disordered eating transitioned into significant alcohol misuse. At 49, she chose a different path, finding recovery and embracing an alcohol-free life.
Ruby's story highlights the challenges of alcohol dependency and the possibility of finding freedom. She discovered a thriving sober community and the alcohol-free movement, offering support and resources for those seeking to reduce alcohol consumption or quit drinking.
