Mommy Wine Culture Almost Took Her: Nina's Sobriety Story

Mommy Wine Culture Almost Took Her: Nina's Sobriety Story

Nina was on holiday with her family when her ten year old son put his arm around his little sister and said, "Don't worry, she'll just order five more bottles of rose and then she'll say yes."

That was the moment that broke.

She grew up in Hong Kong, watched her mum drink herself into hospital at 14, and learned young how to mask things with booze. By her twenties she was drinking alone in her London flat, two bottles a night, buying from different tills at Sainsbury's so no one clocked it. Then came marriage, babies, a miscarriage she drank through, and lockdown. Then perimenopause, anxiety she called "the gauntlet," and waking up at 2 a.m. not knowing who she was.


Eight months ago, she poured her last glass.


This is Nina's story of mommy wine culture, the quiet shame of drinking behind closed doors, and the holiday moment that finally stuck.
