234: Solo: Two Years Without Drinking

In this solo episode, I celebrate my two year anniversary of being alcohol-free with a deep dive into my decision to stop drinking, my background with alcohol growing up, and where I stand now on this decision that started out as a temporary experiment. I share how I suspected I didn’t enjoy drinking in college and post-college years like other people, how the effects of alcohol changed after my concussion, and why I felt angry and disempowered when I couldn’t drink after my accident. I also talk about how I moved from a disempowered choice to an empowered choice, why being hungover as a parent was a game changer for my decision, and how I have discovered an inner confidence and self-trust I didn’t have before. Finally, I answer listener questions like whether I ever miss drinking, how alcohol affects my mental health versus other substances, how I navigate events with friends and being around people who are drinking, and much more.Key Takeaway / Points:My upbringing with alcohol and experience drinking in collegeFeeling like I didn’t enjoy alcohol as much as everyone elseOn implementing Sober Mondays into my routineOn the effects of alcohol changing after my concussionOn moving from feeling disempowered to making an empowered decision to stop drinkingOn the gamechanger of being hungover as a parentOn finding inner confidence and self-trust from this decisionOn whether I miss drinkingOn not drawing the line in the sand for future decisionsHow alcohol affects my mental health differently than other substancesWhat I order when out with friendsHow to navigate events like bachelorette parties when not drinkingOn people pressuring you to drink and examining those relationshipsOn the confidence boost of knowing I enjoy myself as I amAny noticeable changes I’ve felt since not drinkingListen to my past episodes on stopping drinking here and hereThis episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.
