Hi, I'm Leonie
A coach with four years of lived sobriety, a passion for honest human connection, and deep personal experience of what early sobriety truly feels like.
My Story
For years, harmful drinking was part of my identity. It felt social, normal — something I justified with long weeks and hard days. But underneath the surface, it was causing immense suffering: strained relationships, anxiety I couldn't shake, mornings full of shame and regret.
We all have our very unique drinking problems. The idea of not drinking felt impossible — like giving up a crutch I genuinely relied on. And yet, one day, something shifted. I made the decision. And it was the best decision I have ever made.
Those first weeks and months were hard. I wish I'd had someone beside me who truly understood — not from a textbook, but from their own experience. Someone who could look me in the eye and say: “I know. I've been there. You can do this.”
That's what Sober and Lime is. It's the coach I wish I'd had.
