Ep. 130: Why You Don’t Need to Hit Rock Bottom to Quit Drinking

The No More Wasted Days Podcast

🚀 Enrollment is opening soon for PUSH to 100 – my 100-day alcohol-free program that gives you the tools, support, and community to confidently take your next step. You don’t have to wait until things “get bad enough” to choose more for yourself. Join the waitlist here: www.nomorewasteddays.co/100waitinglist — spots are limited!

In this short but powerful episode, I’m breaking down the rock bottom myth—the belief that you have to wait for a dramatic, movie-worthy moment to decide you’re done drinking.

I share my own story of how alcohol was quietly eroding my energy, patience, confidence, and joy long before anything “big” happened. And I’ll walk you through the questions I wish I’d asked myself sooner—questions that could shift you from Is it bad enough? to Is this good enough?

What you’ll hear in this episode:
✨ Why waiting for rock bottom delays action and keeps you stuck in shame
✨ How “functional” doesn’t always mean fulfilled
✨ The subtle cracks alcohol can create in your life (and how to spot them)
✨ Key questions to help you decide if your current reality is worth keeping
✨ How to take small, bite-sized steps toward alcohol freedom without deciding “forever”

This is your reminder: You don’t need permission. You don’t need a label. You don’t have to drink more than your friends or have your life fall apart. You’re allowed to choose better simply because you want better.
