We are grateful to welcome the creator behind the Alcohol Tipping Point, Deb Masner, with a conversation around the cascade effect of changing our drinking habits and how to practice “not drinking”. Deb creates a space where others can take a look at their relationship with alcohol through the lens of compassion and non-judgement and feel inspired to take one step at a time towards change. We cram a lot of in a short period of time as we discuss rewriting dopamine habits, taking out the shame and stigma around alcohol and addiction, why people struggle to quit drinking (and the resources Deb provides that can help), and how the body and mind are capable of change. Deb also shares what she learned about herself when she quit alcohol and why this is the decade of discovery for her. Stay for the entirety of this conversation and leave with a full cup of motivation and empowerment to create the change you seek in your life.  Resources from today's episode: Website: http://www.alcoholtippingpoint.com/                   Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/alcoholtippingpoint           Free resources:100 Questions to Change Your DrinkingDry Guide10 Day Break10dayholiday Mocktail Recipe Book @Womeness_CommunityWomeness WebsiteWomeness Events Books from today's episode: This Naked Mind by Annie Grace The Accidental Soberista by Kate Gunn The Sober Diaires by Clare Pooley Dopamine Nation: Finding Balance in the Age of Indulgence by Anna Lembke

In this week's episode of Wellness As A Way of Life I am chatting with Heather Lowe from Ditched the Drink on Why Alcohol is Not the Glue You Need to Hold it All Together This Holiday Season! We chatted about:   Social norms that teach us that alcohol is liquid courage and helps us ‘connect' with others How alcohol silences our inner voice, our intuition and our ability to connect with ourselves and others How alcohol makes the holidays more exhausting because we our system is constantly recovering How alcohol starts to interfere with your natural ability to create your own feel-good hormones How being Sober is so much more enjoyable over the holidays How to navigate corporate gifting and events in a sober-inclusive way Tips on how to not get overwhelmed with social engagements Living in the full emotional spectrum Other ways to enjoy the holidays that actually allow you feel to well rested, connected and present Not dumbing down the joy Alcohol consumption as self-abandonment Extra support during the holidays if you are ditching the drink: her online community: INSIDER of which I am a part!

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.

Today we are celebrating the 100th episode of the Alcohol Tipping Point podcast. I had a lot of fun and a lot of tears putting together this episode for you. I’m sharing clips from some of my favorite guests. Thank you for listening. If you've been with me from the beginning or you're just starting, I want to thank you so much. I have so much gratitude for you. It is my pleasure and my honor to be part of your journey. And thank you to all the guests who've come on the show, you have made it special. Clips are from the following episodes: Episode 58 Your Someday Can Start Today: Interview with Casey McGuire Davidson Episode 9 Myths and Facts about Rehab and Addiction Episode 59 My Brother Shares How He Quit Drinking Episode 67 How to Get and Stay Sober with Judy Cook Episode 69 From Prison to Purpose with Martin Lockett Episode 65 Talking with Your Kids about Drinking: My daughter is on the show Episode 50 How to Live an Authentic and Sober Life with Clare Pooley

This was one of the most fun interviews I’ve ever done. On the show today is Carlos Navarro. Carlos has been entertaining audiences for 22 years. He is co-host of the #1 talk show in Orlando, Fla., iHeartRadio's "Monsters in the Morning," and he's known for his scene-stealing roles in some of film and TV's biggest cultural phenomena, including "Bloodline," "The Walking Dead," and most recently, Marvel's "Hawkeye" He has been broke, jobless, and self-destructive, drank too much, partied too hard, earned three mugshots, and landed in jail after an infamous on-stage fight in 2006 with a former radio colleague. But Carlos turned it around in 2007 by self-motivating, doing the work on himself to be a better human, digging deeper spiritually, and yes, giving up drinking. When he changed his thinking and gave up alcohol, it became a pivotal moment in his life and career taking off. Seven years sober, he’s now sharing the “what worked for me” practices and lessons from his “mugshot to Marvel” journey to recovery and a more fulfilled life in the hopes of uplifting others. We chat about: Carlos's experience growing up in a Latin family with drinking How HALTing can help you rethink the drink The challenges of staying sober in the entertainment industry Rearranging furniture as a top tip to stop drinking habit Carlos’s other top tips to quit drinking And more! This is one of my favorite interviews because it will make you laugh and make you think. Enjoy!

In this special episode I reflect on my 3 years of sobriety and thought I would share some of what got me here and what keeps me here. My last drink was January 1, 2020. (After many, many, many, starts and stops and many day ones.) The misery of those first days has faded. I share that to let you know if you're trying to change your drinking that it does get better. It really does. You really can do this, and you won't feel so terrible. You won't feel stuck in that shame spiral. You will get out of it. There is light at the end of the tunnel. This darkness is not a dead end. It's a hallway, keep going. I'm sharing some of my journey and hopefully it will help you too.

This podcast has been a long time coming. Years really. I first met Dylan Haas when I started taking BodyJam dance classes at the YMCA. He was my favorite instructor, and I had a sort of adulation of him and his wife at the time. Little did I know of the private vs. public personas of both, I just thought they were super rad. Fast forward through their personal tragedies and I rediscovered Dylan on his podcast- Fun in Sobriety. I was fascinated by hearing from people who had recovered from their drinking problems. I was still struggling with my own drinking. I wasn’t at rock bottom and seemed just like your typical wine mom on the outside. Inside though, I knew I had a problem. I didn't know many people who got sober, and I felt like my only options were AA and inpatient rehab, which I did not want to go to. I devoured Dylan’s interviews with local people in recovery. I told myself- one day, I'm going to be sober and I'm going to share my story on Dylan's podcast. I did get sober- nontraditionally and with the help of online groups and paradigm shifting nontraditional routes like Annie Grace's This Naked Mind. I got so freaking sober that now I help other people practice not drinking. Dylan stopped doing his podcast and he dropped off my radar. A couple of months ago, I saw a flier at my daughter's counselor office. It was for a substance abuse support group hosted by Dylan! This felt like a sign to reach out to Dylan and do that podcast interview. Please enjoy this conversation with Dylan Haas, sober dad, engineer, “comedian,” and counselor in training.

A lot of women who are worried about their drinking start asking themselves one question: “Am I an Alcoholic?”.  The questions that you typically find on an online “Am I An Alcoholic” Quiz are often the wrong questions. Ones that can keep you trapped in the drinking cycle for a long time. The truth is that you don't need to ask yourself if you're an “alcoholic” or if you “really have a problem” or if your drinking is “bad enough” that you have to stop to change your relationship with alcohol.  My guest today is Deb Masner, founder of the Alcohol Tipping Point and host of The Alcohol Tipping Point Podcast.  Deb is going to take us through the 20 questions you should be asking yourself to change your drinking.    For full show notes and resources mentioned in the episode, head to www.hellosomedaycoaching.com/113   Ready to drink less + live more?   Take my FREE MASTERCLASS on Five Secrets To Taking a Break From Drinking Sign up here to save your seat: https://hellosomedaycoaching.com/class    If you're ready to change your relationship with alcohol join The Sobriety Starter Kit.  It's my signature sober coaching course for busy women to help you drink less + live more.  To enroll go to www.sobrietystarterkit.com.

I was so honored to be featured in the Womeness Community Sober Curious series. I got to have a meaningful conversation with Genevieve Nutting on her podcast Your Zest Life (which was so fun as we were able to do it in person at our shared Boise office for SB Studios.)
