Hetti Engelen is a mother of daughters, a wife, a cook, a passionate vegan, and she is sober! In this chat Hetti talks about how she lived in denial that her heavy drinking was a problem, why it took so long for her to quit, the strength she drew from the Living Sober community, and the difference sobriety has made to her inner life and relationships. The Nigel Latta documentary she mentions is here, the TVNZ Breakfast interview with me that she watched is here, and the powerful annimated video she also mentions, featuring a kiwi poignantly illustrates the power of addiction is here.
