    Ivy Insights

    The Alcohol Tipping Point podcast is a game changer for anyone who has struggled with their relationship with alcohol. Hosted by Deb, this podcast takes a non-judgmental and supportive approach to exploring the gray area of drinking, helping individuals navigate their way towards sobriety or creating healthier boundaries with alcohol. I owe my 16 months of sobriety to Deb and the people I met through her group, and I highly recommend this podcast to anyone looking for guidance and support on their own journey.

    One of the best aspects of The Alcohol Tipping Point podcast is Deb's ability to remove barriers and eliminate shame and stigma from the conversation about giving up alcohol. She creates a safe space where listeners can get curious about their own drinking habits and gain practical tools to free themselves from its grip. Her episodes are thought-provoking, informative, and filled with personal stories that make you feel less alone in your struggles. Listening to other people's experiences has been immensely helpful in rethinking my drinking habits, and this podcast provides a platform for these honest conversations.

    Another great aspect of this podcast is that it caters to individuals in the gray area of drinking – those who may not identify as alcoholics but still find that their drinking causes more trouble than it's worth. It explores the concept of "maybe too much" and encourages listeners to explore how and why they drink without attaching any stigma. This inclusive approach helps individuals reflect on their own relationship with alcohol without feeling judged or labeled.

    While The Alcohol Tipping Point podcast has been incredibly helpful for many listeners like myself, there may be some who find it lacking in certain areas. For example, some episodes may not delve deep enough into specific strategies or solutions for overcoming alcohol addiction or creating healthier habits. Additionally, while Deb provides valuable insights and personal stories, some may prefer a more structured format with expert guests sharing evidence-based approaches.

    In conclusion, The Alcohol Tipping Point podcast is a transformative resource for anyone seeking support and guidance in their journey to overcome their drinking habits. Deb's non-judgmental approach, coupled with personal stories and thought-provoking discussions, creates an atmosphere of kindness and understanding. This podcast truly has the power to inspire and change lives, offering practical tools and insights that can help listeners create healthier relationships with alcohol. Whether you're looking to quit drinking altogether or establish better boundaries, The Alcohol Tipping Point podcast is a valuable resource that I highly recommend.

    After a lot of thought I've decided to pause the podcast and live Alcoholiday groups (just cannot bring myself to say end them, because, who knows?) It's been a great run of 200+ podcasts and 42ish Alcoholidays (wow!!) I just celebrated my 5 years of alcohol freedom and I'm ready to focus in a different direction. What that is- I don't know yet, but I do know I need to be part of something bigger than me and have meaningful in real life connection and community.   In this last podcast I reflect on my last 5 years of sobriety and ATP and go into more of an explanation of making this decision.  Thank you so much for listening and being part of the ATP community. I just can't express my thanks enough. I would not have kept doing this if it weren't for you all. Please remember- you are not broken and you can change.   Much love and gratitude,  Deb  Ready to change your drinking habit?  Visit Alcohol Tipping Point website at http://www.alcoholtippingpoint.com/ for lots of FREE resources including:         100 Questions to Change Your Drinking:  https://www.alcoholtippingpoint.com/100questions        Dry Guide:  https://www.alcoholtippingpoint.com/dryguide        10 Day Break:  https://www.alcoholtippingpoint.com/10dayholiday        Mocktail Recipe Book: https://www.alcoholtippingpoint.com/mocktailrecipes           Find Alcohol Tipping Point at:        Website: http://www.alcoholtippingpoint.com/        Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/alcoholtippingpoint        Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/AlcoholTippingPoint        **Please leave a review and subscribe so you can help support the show**        ***Another way to support the show- buy me a coffee!

I wanted to have Peggi back to talk about the connection between childhood trauma and addiction later in life. Some of you may have heard of ACEs, or “adverse childhood experiences.” Research shows that having a score of 4 ACEs increases your chances of having an addiction problem by 700%, which is shocking. However, many people don't know there is an antidote to ACEs (which are largely out of our control), and that is PCEs, which stands for positive childhood experiences—a term coined by Dr. Nzinga Harrison, an addiction specialist.   Peggi holds a Master's in Social Work and has 26 years of experience in Child Welfare and Adult Protective Services. She is currently a social work instructor/coach for UC Davis and is passionate about educating people about ACEs and PCEs. She is the author of This Side of Alcohol: Random Thoughts and Candid Words of Pain, Hope, Humor and Love – and All that is Possible in Sobriety and the Chief Connections Officer for Zero Proof Experiences/Sober in the City.  We talk about:  What the 15 ACEs are and how they connect to addiction  The 7 Positive Childhood Experiences  How PCEs can help overcome ACEs  How to foster more PCEs in your adulthood  The #1 book Peggi recommends for understanding addiction  Advice about seeking therapy  And more!  Listen to Peggi's story on the ATP podcast: Alcohol Tipping Point: Finding Alcohol Freedom in Your Golden Years: It's Never Too Late to Change with Peggi Cooney on Apple Podcasts  Find Peggi: thissideofalcohol.com www.zeroproofexperiences.com IG: @thissideofalcohol Facebook Group: thissideofalcohol Sober in the City Seattle September 6th-8th 2024: https://zeroproofexperiences.com/page/sitc-seattle  Book recommendation: Un-Addiction: 6 Mind-Changing Conversations That Could Save a Life by Dr. Nzinga Harrison  Ready to change your drinking habit?  Visit Alcohol Tipping Point website at http://www.alcoholtippingpoint.com/...

    Breaking the Drinking Habit: Mindful Strategies to Break the Cycle of Autopilot

    Today on the show, I'm sharing a recording from one of my mindfulness classes. This excerpt focuses on autopilot and habits, as much of our drinking is just that—a habit. It's a habit we've developed, which means it's a habit we can undo and break. Learning about habits and automatic behavior, and then discovering techniques for breaking out of that autopilot mode, can be incredibly helpful.

She found an alternative way to heal, rebuilt her health and discovered she didn't have to settle for feeling terrible.   Tune in if you're sober curious, already sober, or seeking solutions for health issues that traditional medicine hasn't resolved.
