Show Notes
You’ve heard “just quit” before—but what if the real answer is breaking up... like it’s a toxic ex? If you’ve ever tried to stop drinking and ended up back in the same wine glass, this episode is your wake-up call.
Inspired by the final chapter of Mel Robbins’ book Let Them, we explore how breakup recovery strategies—yes, the kind you'd use to heal from an ex—can apply directly to your relationship with alcohol. Because quitting isn’t just about willpower. It’s about rewiring your emotional world.
In this episode, you'll
- see how removing environmental triggers can be essential.
- unpack what it really means to ask for support when no one knows you’re struggling.
- reframe busyness—not as avoidance, but as your sobriety’s best friend (for now).
- design rituals, spaces, and challenges that support your next chapter—not sabotage it.
