I Turned the Same Age My Dad Died… Then I Quit Drinking





They wanted to celebrate my sobriety… by handing me a drink. After a full year alcohol-free, I faced the most ironic, painful moment yet — and it made me reflect on why I quit drinking in the first place.





I open up about what pushed me to stop drinking, what it was like hitting my sober anniversary, and the truth about how people react when you change your life. I didn’t expect support from everyone — but what happened shocked me.





If you’re sober curious, newly sober, or struggling with alcohol, I hope my story reminds you: you’re not alone.

👤 About Me 👤





My name is Meghan Melin, and I built Sober Strong to be more than just a channel — it’s a movement. After years of struggling with alcohol, hitting rock bottom, and facing the toll it took on my health, family, and future, I chose a different path: sobriety. That choice didn’t just save my life — it gave me purpose.
