From Miss Virgin Islands to Sobriety Advocate: Alli Bourne-Vanneck's Alcohol-Free Journey

Alcohol Tipping Point

This episode features Alli Bourne-Vanneck, a national award-winning television journalist and former Miss Virgin Islands. Alli shares her inspiring journey from growing up in the U.S. Virgin Islands with aspirations of being a professional golfer to becoming a TV journalist and ultimately quitting alcohol in 2017. She discusses her struggles with loneliness, alcohol problems, and a head injury that culminated in her path to sobriety. Alli hosts the popular Caribbean show VI Tings and advocates for sobriety through her platform Spilling the Sobriety, which aims to inspire and support those considering quitting alcohol.

Such an interesting conversation and I am now adding the Virgin Islands to my sober travel bucket list. Alli really shows us how you can have fun, celebrate, and immerse yourself in island life party culture without the alcohol.

We chat about:

• Growing up in the Virgin Islands
• The pressures of single women to get married and have kids
• Practical tips to quit drinking
• The normalization of sobriety
• The most surprising aspects of being alcohol free
• And more!
