Growing Up With An Alcoholic Mother: Carrie Anne Stephens' Story

Growing Up With An Alcoholic Mother: Carrie Anne Stephens' Story

Carrie Anne Stephens was 19 when her mum died of alcohol addiction. Her mum was just 47. The earliest memory Carrie Anne can recall from childhood is hiding under a coat, aged four, while chaos played out at home. Outwardly, the family was well-kept. The house was perfect. The kids were always turned out properly. Inside, it was something else.

In this episode, Carrie Anne tells Sober Dave the full story. The forced loss her mum suffered at 19 that she never recovered from. The hypervigilance that became second nature. The bolshie teenager who moved in with friends to do her GCSEs. The hospital room where she had to sign a do-not-resuscitate at 19. The 28 years of caring for her dad. And the moment after he died when she finally asked, what about me?

Now a NACOA volunteer, fitness coach, and mental health worker, Carrie Anne is opening a recovery hub and starting to live as herself for the first time.
