If you're someone who's thought about taking a break from drinking, but stop yourself short every time because you can't guarantee your success, I'm so glad you're here.

For some reason, we've been made to believe that we have only 2 options -- sober or alcoholic. But that's a lie.

There's room to grow and evolve in the gray area. You don't have to pick the drinking you're doing now or nothing at all.

Don't get me wrong: I do believe being completely sober is the best way. Hands down.

But you're not a robot, and neither am I.

In this episode of She Just Glows: The Podcast, I'm peeling back the labels in the sober world and reminding you that there is room for everone in the alcohol-free space.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• The brain science that applauds going alcohol-free for even one day
• Why tiny, consistent changes are enough to get you there
• My recommended timeline for going alcohol-free
• How much heavy drinkers spend on alcohol in their lifetime
• The slippery slope of immediately subbing another buzz for alcohol

I stopped drinking about 3 years ago, and it's not just about not drinking alcohol.

It's about taking a break.

And changing how you think about your drinking.

Before, drinking was my treat at the end of the day.

I used to call it my "moment for me."

But what's a treat about it?

The 2am heart racing, the sour stomach, the cotton mouth, the gut-dropping dread of scrolling your texts from last night, the shame at breaking another promise to yourself?

When you put it that way, it's really not a treat at all.

In this episode of She Just Glows: The Podcast, I'm deconstructing your love of alcohol and sharing the game-changing 1-minute mindset shift that helped me finally stop drinking for good.

• The secret I wish I knew before I stopped drinking
• "Sober," "alcoholic" and the other option
• What's behind the Victory Sips ritual
• Why the "treat at the end of the day" story doesn't hold up

If you know, you know.

Living away from family is just one of those things.

My husband and I have lived in a different state from family for 20 years now. And while we love where we live, sometimes we wonder what it'd be like if we were closer to our network of familiar people who've known us since before we could talk.
