Podcasts about Drinking

listen without ads at www.patreon.com/dopeypodcastThis week on Dopey's Greatest Hits!This replay episode features host David Manheim reflecting on personal chaos, gratitude amid frustration, powerful listener emails/stories (including a harrowing crack/coke seizure tale from Minnesota Matt), and a full classic interview with his partner Linda. They share their raw, unfiltered relationship story—from meeting via mutual friend Todd, early partying (coke, Ativan, drinking), pregnancy amid hidden heroin relapse, family destruction during active addiction, separation, supervised visitations, Dave's bottoming out, eventual sobriety, reconciliation, and rebuilding a family with two kids. Interspersed with intros, emails, Spotify comments, voicemails, and musical interludes (Firecracker rap, song snippets), it captures Dopey's signature mix of dark humor, brutal honesty, recovery insights, and "dumb shit" war stories.The episode opens with Dave navigating recent frustrations—dealing with a guest pulling an episode due to cold feet, sponsor issues, and everyday life stressors—while emphasizing core recovery principles like acceptance, gratitude, and service over resentment. He reflects on childhood influences like Popeye's "I am what I am" mantra as a metaphor for self-acceptance in sobriety, and teases upcoming substantive guests while reading heartfelt (and critical) listener feedback. The heart of the show is the replay of a classic episode featuring Dave and Linda's candid conversation, detailing the highs and lows of their relationship: from initial attraction and drug-fueled early days, through the pregnancy discovery and Dave's escalating heroin use (including nodding out during birthing classes and missing key moments post-birth), to the devastating confrontation when Linda discovered the paraphernalia and the subsequent separation.The story doesn't shy away from the pain—Linda's isolation during a complicated delivery, Dave's rock-bottom spiral involving heavy daily use, arrests, and black eyes during supervised visits with their daughter Nora—but it ultimately lands on hope and redemption. Dave credits their daughter as a major motivator for sobriety, and the couple discusses the hard work of rebuilding trust, family life, and even welcoming a second child. Reflections on the losses of close friends Todd and Chris add emotional weight, underscoring how addiction's toll extends beyond the individual.

Dr. Oz recently said, “Don't drink for breakfast,” while outlining the new food pyramid and it got Shane  thinking: why is alcohol still treated like the one socially acceptable drug? In this episode of That Sober Guy Podcast, Shane dissects the culture of “moderate drinking” and why society celebrates clarity only after chaos. From brunch cocktails to business happy hours, alcohol is everywhere, and yet health conversations barely touch it. Shane explores why this advice protects industry, normalizes avoidance, and keeps people numbing instead of thriving. He contrasts mainstream guidance with voices like RFK Jr., who emphasize real wellness, conscious food choices, and intentional living. This isn't about shaming anyone, it's about exposing cultural blind spots, questioning old habits, and seeing sobriety as clarity, freedom, and awareness. If you've ever wondered why “moderation” is celebrated more than awareness, this episode is for you.

In this episode of Stop Over-Drinking and Start Living, I sit down with former client, Megan, to talk about the year it finally clicked. She first worked with me in a 6-month group container, and later committed to a full year of private coaching — the year she became alcohol-free and stayed that way. What makes her story so powerful is that the year before, she had the same goal: to go an entire year without drinking. And she didn't make it. It wasn't until she tried again the following year that it all clicked. She shares 3 things that helped her not get overwhelmed by the big goal of going alcohol-free for so long. #1 will surprise you! And 3 things that she does in the moments she has thoughts about a drink. She also shares a story of how she coped with the stress of a long day of intense interviews.. and it's not what you would think! Megan really is an example of what is possible, with dedication, never giving up despite lots of 'failures,' and consistent support! This conversation is for women who are sober curious, want to drink less, or are exploring a healthier relationship with alcohol without shame, labels, or rigid rules. If you want this type of support I'm excited to open up 3 spots to work with me privately that include a retreat at The Magic House in Lisbon, Portugal.

Chase Chrisley opens up to Ian Bick about his upbringing, growing up on reality television, and how fame at a young age shaped his life and decisions. He talks about leaving college, the pressures of being in the public eye, and how his struggles with drinking escalated as his family faced intense legal battles. Chase shares what it was like watching his parents' arrest, trial, and eventual prison sentence, and how visiting them behind bars took a heavy emotional toll that pushed his drinking even further. He also reflects on the moment everything changed — from his parents being pardoned to finally confronting his addiction, getting sober, and rebuilding his life with clarity and purpose. _____________________________________________ #ChaseChrisley #ChrisleyKnowsBest #RealityTV #CelebrityInterview #LifeAfterFame #AddictionRecovery #SobrietyJourney #truestory _____________________________________________ Thank you to GOLD DROP SELTZERS for sponsoring this episode: Head to https://www.thedryoak.com/ and use promo code LOCKEDIN at checkout for 10% off your order. _____________________________________________ Connect with Chase Chrisley: https://www.instagram.com/chasechrisley/?hl=en _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ Shop Locked In Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop _____________________________________________` Timestamps: 00:00 Drinking, Family Pressure & Life in the Spotlight 01:00 Chase Chrisley's Childhood & Growing Up on Reality TV 05:00 Fame at a Young Age: Friends, School & Social Life 10:00 Early Partying, Alcohol & Family Dynamics 15:00 College Years & Early Signs of Trouble 20:00 Living Through the Indictment, Trial & Legal Battles 25:00 Conviction, Sentencing & Impact on the Family 31:00 Alcohol Abuse After Sentencing & Emotional Fallout 35:00 Rock Bottom, Addiction & the Decision to Get Sober 40:00 Visiting Parents in Prison & Public Scrutiny 46:00 Presidential Pardon & A Family's Second Chance 50:00 Rehab, Recovery & Rebuilding Life 55:00 Life After Sobriety: Lessons, Growth & Moving Forward Learn more about your ad choices.

In this reflective episode, Molly explores the concept of emotional freedom—what it is, what it isn't, and how it's connected to both her personal story and the Alcohol Minimalist approach.Recorded on Martin Luther King Jr. Day and the day after what would have been her father's 98th birthday, Molly connects the legacies of two powerful men who shaped her understanding of what true strength looks like: calm, steady, and intentional.You'll learn how emotional regulation plays a critical role in creating lasting change with alcohol habits, and why your ability to pause between feeling and acting is key to sustainable freedom. Drawing from neuroscience, psychology, and her own lived experience, Molly unpacks the subtle but powerful shift from automatic drinking to intentional living.Topics DiscussedWhy emotional freedom isn't about never feeling uncomfortableThe Viktor Frankl quote that changed Molly's approach to habit changeHow emotional avoidance and low distress tolerance fuel drinking patternsThe role of the basal ganglia in automatic habits and how to rewire itHer father's example of strength without reactivityHow to use the PB&J tool (Pause, Breathe, Just Ten Minutes) to interrupt urgesA deeper look into the “Figuring Out Your Feelings” chapter from Breaking the Bottle LegacyKey Quotes“Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” — Viktor Frankl “You can tell the size of a man by the size of the thing that makes him mad.” — Adlai Stevenson, as taught to Molly by her fatherResources MentionedBreaking the Bottle Legacy by Molly Watts – especially the chapter “Figuring Out Your Feelings”Drink-Less Success: A 30-day self-paced program based in neuroscience and habit psychology Includes the audiobook version of Breaking the Bottle Legacy Learn more at: mollywatts.com/drink-less-successWeekly Reflection PromptWhat does emotional freedom mean to me right now? Not in theory. Not for the future. But right now.Ask yourself:Where am I reactive?Where could I create more space?What would it look like to respond instead of escape?Low risk drinking guidelines from the NIAAA:Healthy men under 65:No more than 4 drinks in one day and no more than 14 drinks per week.Healthy women (all ages) and healthy men 65 and older:No more than 3 drinks in one day and no more than 7 drinks per week.One drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor. So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink.Abstinence from alcoholAbstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past.Benefits of “low-risk” drinkingFollowing these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more. It also reduces the risk of depression, social problems, and difficulties at school or work. ★ Support this podcast ★

Gray Area Drinking, Binge Drinking, Alcoholism, Alcohol Use Disorder or Problem Drinking? How Do You Know When Alcohol Is the Issue. In this episode of the Sober Motivation Podcast, Brad sits down with Shaz to share a raw and honest story of alcohol's role, blackouts, secret drinking, and pandemic-era daily drinking. This conversation is for anyone who doesn't see themselves as fitting with a label, but still feels uneasy about their relationship with alcohol. Shaz walks through how alcohol shifted from social use to binge drinking, how gray area drinking quietly escalated, and how secrecy, rationalization, and comparison kept him stuck for years. You'll hear why waiting for a diagnosis or label delayed real change—and how sobriety, connection, and community support became the turning point. If you're sober curious, questioning your drinking, or wondering whether life would feel better without alcohol, this conversation offers clarity, validation, and a path forward—without shame or judgment.

In this episode, I'm talking with Trevor Hanson, coach and founder of The Art of Healing, about anxious attachment—how it shows up in high-achieving women, why it fuels people-pleasing and overworking, and how it often leads us to drink at night just to turn our brains off.

Sobriety doesn't just change your habits.It changes your social surface area and that's where most men get uncomfortable. In this episode of That Sober Guy Podcast (the number one sober podcast since 2014), we break down a hard truth most people won't say out loud: when you stop drinking, your social circle often gets smaller, but your leverage gets bigger. This isn't about isolation.It's about signal-to-noise ratio. We explore why sobriety naturally compresses relationships, how alcohol props up low-value social volume, and why fewer but clearer connections often lead to better decisions, stronger positioning, and higher performance. Inside the episode: Why sobriety exposes which relationships were built on access vs alignment How fewer social obligations create more focus, time, and strategic clarity The difference between social popularity and social leverage Why some people get uncomfortable when you opt out, and what that reveals How disciplined men often get mislabeled before they get respected We also unpack the trade-off most high-performing men face: short-term social friction in exchange for long-term authority, credibility, and optionality. If you've noticed your calendar clearing, your phone getting quieter, or your tolerance for surface-level conversations dropping since you stopped drinking, this episode will help you understand why that's not a loss. It's a recalibration. Bottom line:Less noise. More signal.Fewer circles. Greater leverage. Listen to Episode 570 to reframe what sobriety is really doing to your social life and why the right rooms come later.

By mid-January, many people are still taking action toward change but feel increasingly unsure of themselves. In this Think Thursday episode, Molly introduces the concept of identity lag to explain why behavior often changes before belief does and why that gap can feel uncomfortable.Building on recent conversations about the Fresh Start Effect and the neuroscience of follow-through, this episode explores what happens in the brain when new behaviors challenge long-held self-stories. Molly explains how identity is shaped through evidence over time, why self-doubt often peaks after consistency begins, and how cognitive dissonance plays a central role in this phase of change.Rather than seeing discomfort as a sign that something is wrong, listeners are invited to understand identity lag as a normal and necessary transition in sustainable behavior change.What You'll LearnWhy behavior change often feels awkward before it feels alignedWhat identity lag is and why it shows up in mid-JanuaryHow the brain prioritizes stability and safetyWhy confidence does not come first in lasting changeHow cognitive dissonance creates tension during growthWhy self-doubt often increases after consistency beginsHow identity actually updates through repetition and evidenceKey Concepts ExplainedIdentity lag as the gap between behavior and beliefDefault mode network and self-referential processingCognitive dissonance and the brain's drive for consistencyEvidence accumulation in identity-based behavior changeNeuroplasticity and learning across time and contextImpostor syndrome as a byproduct of uncertainty during growthCore Takeaways from the EpisodeBehavior leads and identity followsFeeling unfamiliar does not mean being misalignedSelf-doubt is information, not instructionConfidence grows from repetition, not declarationsConsistent behavior resolves cognitive dissonance over timeOver time, research shows that behavior is often what resolves cognitive dissonance, not beliefs.When behavior stays consistent, identity eventually follows.That's why you don't have to convince yourself. You just have to keep showing up.Practical Anchors SharedSeparate behavior from beliefLook for evidence rather than feelingsAvoid premature identity labelsNormalize discomfort during transitionUse language like “I am learning to become someone who…”Related Think Thursday EpisodesThe Myth of the Fresh Start BrainThe Neuroscience of Follow-ThroughBelief Echoes and Why Change Feels HardUnbreakable Habits and the Voice That Keeps Them AliveWhat's Coming NextNext week's Think Thursday explores what happens when progress starts to feel quieter, calmer, and even boring, and why that phase is actually a sign that change is taking hold. ★ Support this podcast ★

In today's episode of the Cookbook Love Podcast, I'm joined by Dr. Michael P. Foley, Catholic theologian, professor, and author of Abstaining with the Saints. Michael is best known for his beloved Drinking with the Saints series, and in this new book, he turns his attention to alcohol-free celebrations that are just as meaningful, festive, and rooted in the liturgical year. Abstaining with the Saints offers nearly 200 thoughtfully crafted mocktail recipes, along with alcohol-free beer, wine, and spirit suggestions that align with Catholic feast days and seasons. Each recipe is paired with stories and facts about the saints, creating a joyful way to honor the Church calendar without alcohol. In our conversation, we explore: Why Michael felt called to create a non-alcoholic companion to Drinking with the Saints How mocktails can support sober, "soberish," and alcohol-free lifestyles The role of saints and celebration in Catholic life How food and drink can deepen our connection to family, faith, tradition, and community Who this book is for, and how it can serve families, parishes, and individuals alike Things We Mention In This Episode: Abstaining with the Saints The MeatEater Fish and Game Cookbook

Eventually, she turned to an unorthodox approach: the Sinclair Method.Katie joins host Megan McArdle to explain this science-based path to sobriety and how it inspired her book, "Drink Your Way Sober."Subscribe to The Washington Post here.

So much show, show little time.  ...Still uploading episodes from 2025 - this one was close at hand.  It starts with a look at distilleries like Jim Beam and others which are having a hard time coping with market movement, and how it's an analog to brewery behavior in years past (including outfits now and gone like Manzanita, Butcher's, Ballast Point, Breckenridge and more), and then overrules it all with the potential alien invasion loaded up on an "asteroid" named 3I/Atlas (perhaps they like beer).  Curveballs continue with extra arms and prehensile tails, and then there's the tale of a mechanic from Normal, America, who has been pardoned for helping diesel truck owners avoid destructive government policies and parts.  Because racecar, the gearhead goons also noticed that the world famous Targa Tasmania was running - right now - and that's good news for drivers who like honest tarmac action and the go-fast community. Don't worry, we got lost too: Kalifornistan continues to make life hard for its citizens by driving refineries out of the state; and don't throw the baby out with the bath water: a good idea like storing cheap electricity in batteries shouldn't be ruined by a few bad batteries that got hung on a wall (and then caught fire).

Why are women less likely to receive CPR than men? Is your drinking a problem? And why can you sometimes feel which ovary you’re ovulating from? We've returned to usual programming and are bringing you fresh content to kick-start your new year.In this episode, Dr Mariam and Claire speak to Professor Kate Conigrave, an Addiction Medicine Specialist and Public Health Physician, to unpack the reality of Australia’s relationship with alcohol. They discuss how to identify if you have an alcohol dependency, the link between mental health and drinking, and the physical impact alcohol has on the brain and body. Plus, we look at the gender gap in cardiac arrest survival rates. We explain why bystanders are hesitant to perform CPR on women, the fear of "inappropriate touching" and why training mannequins need an update. And, in the quick consult, we drop into the Doctor's Office to answer Nadia’s question about why her ovaries feel like they are "kicking her in the guts". We explain 'Mittelschmerz' (ovulation pain), why it happens and when pain levels signal a need for further investigation into conditions like endometriosis.

Welcome back to Louisa's January Series. After the success of the 2024 series, she wanted to return with something deeper, more practical and more psychology-led for 2026.Our beliefs about drinking and what it offers need to be challenged effectively if you want to embrace and truly enjy sobriety and that's what the focus is today. We will have built up many beliefs over the years and unpicking these makes things a lot easier.Louisa Evans is a psychology-based practitioner, clinical hypnotherapist and the host of the Sober Rebel podcast. She specialises in helping people change their relationship with alcohol in a grounded and realistic way, using a blend of cognitive behavioural approaches, emotional regulation, habit science and nervous system understanding. Her work focuses on grey area drinking, midlife identity shifts, and supporting people who want sobriety to feel steadier, clearer and more sustainable.For listeners who want extra support during this month or beyond, Louisa's course Sober Resilience is available with a thirty percent discount throughout the series using the code DRYJAN26. The course includes practical tools for cravings, emotional steadiness, behavioural patterns, routines and the predictable identity wobble that often appears in early sobriety. All of Louisa's work, including her therapy practice and additional resources, can be found at www.louisaevans.com.Louisa is known for her direct, psychology-led approach and her ability to make sobriety feel accessible rather than overwhelming. Her work is centred on clarity, honesty and understanding the patterns underneath drinking, rather than relying on force or perfectionism.

Do you have a strong desire to change your drinking and yet, you're not where you want to be?   In this episode, I'm answering a question from a listener named Chris who's frustrated that he's still drinking more than he wants to, despite trying to make healthier choices. He's switched from hard liquor to premixed cans and is concerned about what his daily drinking is doing to his health.   Tune in this week to hear how Chris's question speaks to so many things people are thinking about in the new year: the identity shift that comes with trying to drink less, the anxiety about how drinking may be impacting your health, and the frustration that despite so much effort, you're not where you want to be.   Break the cycle of temporary challenges and learn how to make alcohol feel truly optional during my three-day Reset Your Drinking workshop starting January 21st, 2026.

Mommy Wine Culture Hid Her Addiction w/ Olivia Flynn | The Hopeaholics PodcastIn this raw and deeply moving episode of the Hopeholics Podcast, Olivia Flynn shares her journey through generational addiction, early exposure to alcohol, and the quiet ways substance use became normalized long before anyone called it a problem, opening up about growing up with an alcoholic father, getting drunk for the first time and feeling relief, how bartending culture fueled addiction, and the internal unraveling that led to pregnancy, custody battles, and a moment driving home when she no longer wanted to live, before describing the turning point of admitting she was an alcoholic, praying to a God she didn't yet believe in, and experiencing a radical shift through faith that led not only to sobriety but to confronting hidden addictions like weed, dismantling “mommy wine” culture, releasing shame tied to motherhood, and ultimately breaking generational cycles for her daughters while redefining what real freedom, healing, and identity look like beyond abstinence alone.#thehopeaholics #redemption #recovery #AlcoholAddiction #AddictionRecovery #wedorecover #SobrietyJourney #MyStory #Hope #wedorecover #treatmentcenter #natalieevamarieJoin our patreon to get access to an EXTRA EPISODE every week of ‘Off the Record', exclusive content, a thriving recovery community, and opportunities to be featured on the podcast. https://patreon.com/TheHopeaholics Go to www.Wolfpak.com today and support our sponsors.

It might be hard to believe after a visit to Lower Broadway, but fewer people are drinking these days – at least that's what folks are telling pollsters.According to Gallup, people say they are abstaining from alcohol more now than in the past 85 years. Besides being generally better for your health, going booze-free has become fashionable. On today's show, we're exploring what it looks like to dry out in a drinking town – from non-alcoholic alternatives to navigating a wet world while sober.This episode was produced by Josh Deepan. Guests: Michael Caldwell, MD, Meharry Medical College Stephanie Styll, Killjoy Booze-Free Beverage Shop Owner Ian Cox, Milestone Brands (Empress 0.0 Indigo Gin) Hal Tayip, Titans Enthusiast, Kurdish American Further reading:  WPLN: Navigating Nashville's nightlife scene while sober WPLN: Out, About: You don't need a drink in Nashville to have fun!  The Tennessean: Why NA drinks, mocktails can be tricky for those of us in recovery

What does it really mean to make whiskey with conviction?In this episode of Whiskey Rocks, we sit down with Jim Hough of Liberty Pole Spirits, a distillery that isn't interested in shortcuts, trends, or chasing hype. Instead, they're laser-focused on doing things the hard way — local grain, grain-to-glass production, and a deep respect for Pennsylvania rye's rebellious roots.Jim walks us through why Liberty Pole believes where your grain comes from matters just as much as what's in the barrel, how patience and stubbornness can actually be competitive advantages, and why some whiskeys are meant to challenge you rather than please everyone.This is a conversation about independence, identity, and why Liberty Pole might just be the most important whiskey you're not drinking… yet.Pour a glass and press play.To learn more about Liberty Pole Spirits, visit www.libertypolespirits.com To keep the conversation going and join our community of whiskey and music weirdos, follow us on TikTok, Instagram and YouTube @thewhiskeyrockspodcastWhiskey rocks, sip hard!

If you've ever said, “I deserve a drink,” that thought may feel small, but it reflects something deeper — a powerful belief that alcohol is your reward.In this episode, Molly explores Alcohol Core Belief #4: Alcohol is my reward, and how this unconscious narrative can quietly fuel your desire to drink. The episode offers a new way forward — not through willpower or restriction, but by intentionally creating new, satisfying reward rituals.You'll learn:Why the brain links alcohol with reward — and what to do about itHow removing alcohol without adding new sources of pleasure leads to resistanceThe importance of building emotional reward systems that reinforce the habit of drinking lessWhy this work isn't about deprivation, but about creating lasting satisfaction and peaceTopics and TakeawaysHow “reward thinking” fuels the desire to drinkThe role of dopamine and learned associationsHow to create alcohol-free rewards that actually feel goodWhat to do instead of white-knuckling your way through dry daysThe mindset shift from “restriction” to “reinforcement”Resources MentionedAlcohol Core Beliefs Episodes: Episode 158: https://pdst.fm/e/dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/media.transistor.fm/12f5397f/5d182193.mp3 Episode 159:https://pdst.fm/e/dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/media.transistor.fm/eda56e8a/ac4e075a.mp3Episode 160: https://pdst.fm/e/dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/media.transistor.fm/0bc07446/a0266a75.mp3Episode 161: https://pdst.fm/e/dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/media.transistor.fm/e62c3a01/cdd8df70.mp3Episode 163: https://pdst.fm/e/dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/media.transistor.fm/bb7c0709/5c68cc4e.mp3 Rewards Rewired WorksheetLow risk drinking guidelines from the NIAAA:Healthy men under 65:No more than 4 drinks in one day and no more than 14 drinks per week.Healthy women (all ages) and healthy men 65 and older:No more than 3 drinks in one day and no more than 7 drinks per week.One drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor. So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink.Abstinence from alcoholAbstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past.Benefits of “low-risk” drinkingFollowing these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more.

It's time again for our annual Las Vegas wishes for the new year. We revisit last year's wishes and look ahead to share our upcoming hopes and dreams The post FHBM #991: New Year, New Wishes first appeared on Five Hundy By Midnight.

Losing the fear of not drinking can feel impossible, can't it? For Lindsey, alcohol was woven into every milestone: sixth-grade sleepovers, college weekends, early marriage, and long workweeks that ended with “just one more” drink on the couch. Drinking wasn't just a habit; it was how she fit in, turned off the noise, and chased that first rush of feeling totally okay for a moment. Over time, the hangovers became brutal, and the mental fallout was even worse—fights with her husband, Sunday dread, and memories she didn't always want to remember. One morning, after a night that ended with a chipped tooth and dry heaving on the kitchen floor while her daughter watched, something inside her shifted. Lindsey found This Naked Mind and, for the first time, felt like someone was telling her she wasn't broken—this is simply what alcohol does. The book became a permission slip to step off the hamster wheel and experiment with not drinking at all. In this episode, Lindsey joins Coach Cole to talk about rebuilding self-trust, reshaping a marriage that was once built on drinks, and becoming the kind of mom whose daughters see her saying “no” with confidence instead of needing a glass to cope. Lindsey and Coach Cole discuss: Lindsey describes the first drink in middle school and how quickly alcohol became tied to identity, popularity, and feeling “okay” for a moment. The progression from curiosity to dependence: chasing euphoria, ignoring red flags, and waking up in emotional and physical pain. How “I'll just drink less” experiments and endless rules kept her stuck in the same cycle of regret, self-doubt, and harsh inner dialogue. The breaking point: a trip that ended with a chipped tooth, a morning spent on the bathroom floor, and her daughter seeing a version of mom Lindsey never wanted to be. Finding This Naked Mind and reframing her story—from “I'm the problem” to “this is what alcohol does,” opening space to question everything. What changed when she began losing the fear of not drinking: more stable moods, clearer health goals as a trainer, and deeper presence with her family. The new foundation of her marriage and parenting—less reactivity, more responsibility for her own choices, and a commitment not to be someone else's story of what they had to overcome. How losing the fear of not drinking allowed Lindsey to feel “light as a feather” and more.

Today's Sponsor: ToyBox 3D Printers In today's episode, we talk about wine, anesthesia, and the quiet ways men numb pain instead of feeling it.As Jesus was led to the cross, He was offered wine to dull the pain. He refused it. Not because the pain didn't matter — but because He chose to fully feel the weight He was carrying.Many men don't explode emotionally.They disappear.Instead of anger, they feel numb.Instead of emotion, they feel distance.Instead of presence, they reach for distraction.Scrolling.Drinking.Porn.Overworking.Anything that keeps the feelings at bay.In this episode, we explore what it looks like to stop numbing and start feeling again — not all at once, not perfectly, but honestly. Because when you begin to feel, you begin to heal. And healed men become present men.In This Episode:Why emotional numbness is just as serious as emotional blowupsThe overlooked moment when Jesus refused wine on the way to the crossHow men practice “avoidant coping” without realizing itThe cost of numbing out on marriage, fatherhood, and presenceA simple one-minute practice to begin feeling againToday's One-Minute Practice:Instead of asking, “What am I feeling?”Ask this:“What am I avoiding feeling today?”Sit with it.Name it.Don't numb it.You don't need to fix everything.You just need to stay present.Strong families begin with healed men.

Most of us don't realize how much alcohol affects our bodies until we take a break. In this first episode of Office Hours, I break down what really happens when you give up alcohol for 30 days. Alcohol impacts nearly every system—from your brain and hormones to your gut, liver, and immune system—but the good news is your body begins repairing itself far faster than most people expect. I discuss: • What alcohol really is—and why the “buzz” is actually your brain slowing down• How alcohol affects neurotransmitters like GABA, dopamine, and glutamate• Why even moderate drinking disrupts sleep, mood, hormones, and metabolism• How alcohol impacts the liver, gut microbiome, immune system, and cancer risk• Why hangovers feel like the flu—and what's actually happening in your body• What happens when you stop drinking, week by week, from detox to deep repair• The surprising benefits to energy, focus, skin, sleep, and emotional resilience• Practical tools to manage cravings, social pressure, and sleep disruption• Why community support makes behavior change easier and more sustainable Your body has an incredible ability to heal and often, it just needs you to take your foot off the gas. Try it for 30 days. You may be amazed by how different you feel.
