How to build confidence without Alcohol, Season 3 Ep. 13

2/25/2024
In this episode we question the idea that alcohol gives us confidence?? On the contrary, we believe using alcohol can be detrimental to our confidence by putting us in a poor decision making state that contributes to a lowered self-esteem. Making the decision to say "No” to alcohol can be the first step to re-building our confidence. Trusting ourselves and having the belief "we can do this" slowly builds the self evidence and as the evidence starts to stack up we finally establish the self awareness needed to truly feel confident. It's starts with one good decision, one day at a time. **Please remember to: Like, Subscribe and leave us a 5-star rating or review. If you enjoyed this episode SHARE it with a friend.

Things we wish we knew or someone told us when we were drinking! Season 3 Ep.12

2/19/2024
In this episode we discuss things we wish we knew or someone told us when we were drinking. As we dive into some of the things, like how drinking increases anxiety or how lonely drinking can be we also question whether if we knew any of these things would they have stopped us. The reality is probably not but is there one thing or a certain person in our lives that could have said something to us that would have helped change our relationship with alcohol sooner. This episode is NOT about regrets, we all appreciate that people get to where they need to be in their our own time and we are all happy with the paths we took to get us here.

Judgement vs. Support in the "AF"(Alcohol Free) Community, Season 3 Ep. 8

11/20/2023
Living Alcohol Free like many things, is not a one size fits all approach. We started this podcast to show people that there are many ways to live a beautiful alcohol free life. We choose this somewhat controversial topic because we were disappointed with some of the judgment we'd seen recently in comments on Social Media regarding how people choose to live alcohol free. We wanted to address this for everyone starting out on this journey as we know there can be a lot of fear around the idea of giving up alcohol. We didn't want anyone considering an alcohol free lifestyle to be influenced by the opinion that it needs to be done a certain way to be the right way. What works for some does not work for all, so the best way is to find your own way! Find what works for you and what makes you feel good. From time to time we can all fall victim to making judgements, but next time you do, stop and remind yourself that judgement is our inner voice whispering "You still have work to do my child". We are all on the say team in this space....."Team No Alcohol" and that's why it's important we support ALL the ways.

Drinking is not our Identity, Season 3 Ep. 6

11/5/2023
Drinking is not our Identity! In this episode we explore what our identity is made up of and when we define ourselves we do not want societal labels to be part of self definition. We often allow societal labels to describe a part of who we are or mistake activities we participate in be associated with who we are, but we are human BEINGS not human DOINGS. This can be a slippery slope when it comes to drinking as we can attach our identity to labels like "the fun guy". These labels can keep us stuck in our fear, questioning "who am I going to be without alcohol"? The truth is when we are drinking we are not our authentic self we are an altered version of ourselves. In this discussion, we uncover so many things that make up our identity, which is way beyond the limiting labels society attaches to us. Don't limit yourself with labels we are so much more then the things we do. Who we are or want to be is limitless!

CHANGE: How fear can keep us stuck & how when we change so can the people around us. Season 3 Ep.5

10/30/2023
In episode 5 we discuss the impact changing our relationship with alcohol has on the people around us. When we make the decision to change we can't expect everyone to follow, as we were the ones who made the decision to change. Changing ourselves can be scary for the people closest to us as our new behavior's and habits are not what they are use to. We are creatures of habit so this can make people uncomfortable. Changing can inevitably affect the dynamics of our relationships, some relationships may even come to an end. On the other side change can also welcome new relationships that are more aligned with the version of ourself we are becoming. We can also influence people in a positive way by inspiring them to make changes themselves. Either way change is a necessary part of taking a path to self improvement. **Please remember to: Like, Subscribe and leave us a 5-star rating or review.

Deb Masner, Alcohol Tipping Point Season 2 Ep. 25

6/23/2023
In our last Guest episode of Season 2, it was such a pleasure to sit down with fellow podcaster Deb Masner from Alcohol Tipping Point. After many failed attempts at moderation and taking a few short breaks from alcohol, Deb finally reached her tipping point and gave up alcohol for good in January 2020. Shortly after she decided to create Alcohol Tipping Point as a place to provide resources and educate people on the many health risks associated with drinking alcohol. As a Registered Nurse and Health & Wellness Coach Deb made it her mission to help anyone looking to reduce their alcohol consumption by providing multiple resources. Through her online platform she offers support by facilitating "alcoholidays" for those looking to take a break from alcohol. She also offers 1 on 1 coaching sessions as well as she has her podcast Alcohol Tipping Point.

High Functioning Alcoholism, Season 2 Ep.24

6/19/2023
This topic sparked an interesting discussion about how we define what it means to be a High Functioning Alcoholic. Is this term contributing to the stigmas society has about what it looks like to have an unhealthy relationship with alcohol? High functioning perpetuates the idea that its ok to reward ourselves for our accomplishments at the end of the day with alcohol. Are we using the fact that we are high functioning as an excuse to continue to drink? This term can actually be the thing holding you back from reaching your true potential. We shouldn't see this term as a positive when in reality were just getting by trying to accomplish the things society pressures us to. We are challenging the notion that you can be high functioning when you are drinking, as we believe these 2 ideas are a complete contradiction. What do you think?
