There’s a weird thing that happens the longer we’re alcohol-free—we start to forget just how exhausting it was before we quit.
All the starts and stops.
All the “this is the last one” moments.
All the shame spirals that came with trying to quit... over and over again.
In this episode, I’m going back to that space—because if you’re there right now, I see you. And I want to give you a little permission slip:
✨ You can quit trying to quit.
Just for a moment.
Instead, let’s get curious.
Let’s explore what alcohol is really doing in your life—and what you’re hoping it gives you.
Inside this episode:
🌀 Why it’s okay to pause and reflect instead of pushing yourself to “just quit already”
💭 Reflective questions to help you understand your relationship with alcohol—without judgment
🫶 The power of honesty, even when the answers aren’t pretty
📣 An invitation to join Dry-ish July — a space to explore, reflect, and take gentle steps with support
This isn’t about perfection.
It’s about awareness, truth, and the freedom that comes when you stop fighting yourself and start listening instead.
