Podcasts about Dry January

You've done Dry January. You've made the Sunday night promise. You've cut back, taken breaks, set rules, and started over more times than you can count. And every time, you mean it.So why does it keep happening?In this episode, I'm talking about the real reason the cycle doesn't break — and it has nothing to do with willpower, discipline, or how badly you want to change. The answer is deeper than the drinking.This episode is for you if: You've tried to cut back or quit more times than you can remember You keep breaking promises to yourself and you're exhausted by it You feel like something is off but you can't quite name it You're ready to stop fighting the symptom and get to the actual root Links:Transformation Program Q+Ahttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/89011714466?pwd=b632nKrrvxdH6j7oAlPb2FrLTu1o10.1Passcode:170040Replay for Transformation Q+A: https://www.angelamascenik.com/transformationprogramTopics: gray area drinking, how to stop over-drinking, high-functioning women and alcohol, change your relationship with alcohol, functional drinker, why willpower doesn't work, starting over with sobriety, women and alcoholAbout Angela: Angela Mascenik is a certified life coach and the founder of Stop Over-Drinking and Start Living.

Jyoti Chand grew up the youngest child and only girl in a Punjabi immigrant family in West Covina, California, in the middle of a 95% Mexican neighborhood, in a gang-infiltrated area, in a household where her dad ironed her clothes, did the laundry, cooked the food, and showed up to every parent-teacher conference while her mom worked nights. She was spoiled with love. She was the class clown with a binder of printed jokes. She was the smart one, the good girl, the straight-A kid who also snuck out to Bong Fest, talked back to everyone, and graduated high school at 16. She was also someone who had no idea that alcohol was quietly shaping her entire story. In this episode of Sense of Self, Dr. Gowri Aragam sits down with Jyoti Chand, known to hundreds of thousands as Mama Jotes, a mom, a content creator, founder of Jyotes by Jyoti Chand, author of the graphic novel Fitting Indian, and one of the most genuinely funny and disarmingly honest voices on the internet. What starts as a warm, hilarious conversation about growing up first-generation in LA becomes something much more honest. A story about dual identity, undiagnosed ADHD, inherited anxiety and depression, a suicide attempt at 18 that her university tried to quietly erase, abusive relationships she didn't think she deserved better than, and the slow realization that the substance she thought was just fun was actually the main character in a story she desperately wanted to rewrite. And then she stopped drinking. And everything changed. 00:00 Cold Open and Retakes 00:54 Mom Life Small Talk 01:49 Name Origin and Fireworks 04:14 Growing Up West Covina 07:18 Assimilating and Blending In 11:57 Home Life and Superdad 16:17 Sibling Chaos and Teen Rebellion 22:10 Comedy as Survival 28:09 High School Anxiety and Coping 33:00 Family Mental Health Patterns 35:37 Modeling Coping Skills 36:20 Breaking Generational Cycles 37:27 Growing Up Too Fast 38:24 College Freedom Party Life 43:17 When Drinking Feeds Anxiety 45:00 Alcohol and Parenting Boundaries 47:18 Good Girl Bad Girl Split 52:51 Breakup Depression Spiral 56:40 Hospital Hold and Dorm Fallout 59:35 Therapy Break the Cycle 01:07:30 Writing as Healing Path 01:11:39 Self Worth and Relationships 01:12:41 Choosing Love Through Discomfort 01:15:01 Brunch Meltdown and the Ring 01:18:13 Reparative Love and Co Regulation 01:23:31 Alcohol After Marriage and Motherhood 01:27:20 Moderation Fails and Pandemic Spiral 01:28:23 Dry January and Quit Like a Woman 01:35:19 Sobriety Fuels Creativity and Growth 01:43:02 Self Esteem and Resilience Muscle 01:48:06 Who I Am Now and Closing About Our Guest: Jyoti Chand, known online as Mama Jotes, is a content creator, author, and advocate for first-generation Americans navigating identity, mental health, and sobriety. Her graphic novel Fitting Indian follows a 16-year-old first-generation American girl navigating mental health struggles, dual identity, and the pressure to belong everywhere and nowhere at once. She lives in the Midwest with her husband, a child psychiatrist who is not allowed to "psychiatrize" her, and their three kids.

In this bitesize moment pulled from the Laura Dowling Experience back catalogue, comedian Kyla Cobbler shares an honest, no-frills account of how her drinking quietly turned into dependency — while she was still training, working, and gigging five nights a week.She tells Laura how being a regular performer in Barcelona blurred the lines between socialising and self-medicating, and how Dry January cracked the whole thing open. What started as a simple challenge ended in withdrawal, therapy, AA, and a completely new relationship with fear, nerves, and joy on stage.

Pour comprendre l'économie du vin aujourd'hui, un chiffre donne le vertige : la consommation mondiale est tombée à son plus bas niveau depuis 1961. Selon les dernières données de l'Organisation internationale de la vigne et du vin (OIV), elle s'établit désormais à 221 millions d'hectolitres, marquant une rupture historique après des décennies de stabilité relative. Ce n'est plus une simple fluctuation de marché, mais une véritable crise structurelle alimentée par une "tempête parfaite" de facteurs économiques et socioculturels.Le premier levier de cette chute est purement inflationniste. Le prix moyen d'une bouteille a bondi de près de 30 % en quelques années, poussé par l'explosion des coûts de l'énergie, du verre et du transport. Cette hausse des prix intervient alors que le pouvoir d'achat des ménages s'érode, reléguant le vin au rang de produit de luxe occasionnel plutôt que de bien de consommation courante. Parallèlement, la production mondiale a elle-même chuté de 10 % en 2023, atteignant son niveau le plus faible depuis 1961 en raison des aléas climatiques extrêmes, ce qui maintient une pression haute sur les tarifs.Le désamour est particulièrement frappant dans les bastions historiques. En France, la consommation continue de s'effriter, mais c'est surtout du côté des grandes puissances économiques que le choc est visible : aux États-Unis, premier marché mondial, le recul est de près de 6 %, tandis que le marché chinois, autrefois perçu comme l'Eldorado du secteur, s'est littéralement effondré avec une baisse de 25 % de ses importations. Globalement, en l'espace de seulement cinq ans, la consommation mondiale a fondu de 12 %.Enfin, un changement sociétal profond achève de vider les verres. Les jeunes générations, notamment les Millénials et la Gen Z, ne consomment plus comme leurs aînés. Le vin subit la concurrence féroce de boissons jugées plus modernes ou "plus saines", comme les bières artisanales, les spiritueux haut de gamme ou les boissons sans alcool. Les campagnes de santé publique et la montée en puissance du mouvement "Dry January" modifient durablement le rapport à l'alcool. Pour l'économie viticole, le défi est immense : il ne s'agit plus seulement de vendre une bouteille, mais de réussir à séduire un consommateur qui, par choix financier ou par conviction, a décidé de passer son tour.

The Singles is back with Tracksuit, taking some of the biggest marketing stories in culture right now and putting them under a bit more pressure using real brand data.Because the interesting part is rarely just the campaign itself. It is what the campaign reveals about the category, the audience, and the way brands are trying to grow.In this episode, Conor Byrne is joined by Ed Parkin and Bella Harrison from Tracksuit to explore three very different examples of brands using culture, entertainment, and timing to build relevance.Lucky Saint shows how alcohol-free beer has moved far beyond Dry January, using Lime Bikes, London culture, run clubs, and moderation trends to position itself as a year-round brand for active urban consumers.Lego demonstrates why it remains one of the most culturally flexible brands in the world, turning the FIFA World Cup into entertainment before a ball has even been kicked, while continuing to stretch beyond the toy category into fandom, collectibles, and adult audiences.The conversation then turns to the latest Entertain or Die Report, looking at why entertainment is increasingly becoming a commercial growth strategy rather than just a creative ambition.The episode also explores:Why brands are now competing against Netflix, TikTok, creators, and sport for attentionThe shift from “salesmanship” to “showmanship” in advertisingWhy entertaining brands are outperforming commerciallyWhat brands like Currys, Compare the Market, Guinness Zero, and Lego are getting rightHow mental availability is built long before purchase moments happenIf you want a deeper understanding of how entertainment, culture, and brand growth connect together, this episode is packed with practical examples and real-world data.Listen to Paul Feldwick on That's What I Call Marketing here:Paul Feldwick on That's What I Call MarketingRead the full Entertain or Die report:Entertain or Die Report Find out more about Tracksuit:TracksuitListen to more episodes of That's What I Call Marketing:That's What I Call MarketingTimestamps:02:06 – Lucky Saint and the rise of moderation culture03:24 – Why Lucky Saint is so culturally aware05:05 – Lime Bikes, London culture, and timing07:08 – The functional drinks category shift08:45 – Alcohol-free beer becoming mainstream10:00 – Guinness Zero vs Lucky Saint11:18 – Winning locally before scaling nationally13:22 – Brand perception and category positioning15:00 – Lego and the FIFA World Cup campaign16:01 – Why Lego works across every demographic18:22 – Lego's cultural timing advantage20:00 – Lego, fandom, and entertainment21:40 – World Cup advertising and brand competition22:15 – Entertain or Die explained24:00 – Why entertainment drives commercial growth25:35 – Future demand and entertainment26:17 – Gap hires a Chief Entertainment Officer27:09 – What makes brands entertaining29:00 – Brands that entertain us today31:00 – Why culture matters inside companies Hosted on Acast.

C'est une boisson on ne peut plus mexicaine, la tequila, emblème du pays et de la région du Jalisco, à l'ouest du Mexique. Fabriqué à partir d'agave bleu, cet alcool est très plébiscité, surtout aux États-Unis et au Canada. Depuis les années 1990, sa consommation a fortement augmenté à tel point qu'aujourd'hui, le Mexique exporte 80 % de sa production nationale à travers de grandes marques qui ont tiré parti des traités économiques nord-américains. Mais derrière ces modes de consommation se cache la ruine des producteurs. Situés en bout de chaîne, ce sont eux qui vivent les crises du marché. De notre correspondante de retour de Tequila,  La demande mondiale en boissons alcooliques a tendance à se tasser, alors que la filière ultra-industrialisée de la tequila traverse une étape de surproduction liée aux conditions particulières de la culture des agaves. Depuis des mois, la plante vendue aux distilleries ne vaut plus rien, le prix s'est effondré de 98 %. Pendant que les grandes maisons de tequila continuent de vendre des bouteilles et de faire rayonner le produit auprès des touristes, ce sont les producteurs du Jalisco – ou agaveros – qui en payent le prix.  Dans le village de Tequila, le tourisme est l'autre activité principale. Chaque jour, la Casa Sauza, comme une centaine d'autres fabriques, ouvre ses portes aux visiteurs. « De tous les agaves que vous voyez, il n'y a qu'avec la variété bleue qu'on peut produire de la tequila, explique Marisol. C'est la norme que nous devons respecter. » Une fois mature, le cœur de l'agave, qui sert à la fabrication, pèse 30 kilos. « À chaque tonne récoltée, les ouvriers agricoles, qu'on appelle "jimador", sont payés entre 15 et 20 euros », poursuit Marisol. La région produit annuellement environ 500 millions de litres de tequila, un marché de plus de 13 milliards de dollars.  À lire aussi«Dry January»: le marché mondial de l'alcool face à un tournant économique historique Un mauvais retour sur investissement Tout au bout de la chaîne, les producteurs comme Saul Martinez vendent leurs plantes aux grandes distilleries. Depuis 2019, il a planté 13 000 agaves, ce qui devrait lui rapporter entre 750 et 1500 euros. « Ce n'est pas beaucoup », déplore-t-il, et c'est bien moins que son investissement initial. Sans compter les années de travail, car la plante pousse pendant 6 ou 7 ans avant de pourrir.  La surproduction actuelle fait chuter les prix. « C'est cyclique tout cela. Peut-être que d'ici quelques années, le prix sera bien mieux. Ici, c'est plein d'agaves, montre le producteur, moi, j'ai planté d'ici jusqu'en haut de la colline. Le problème, c'est que là-bas, ils plantent en excès, incendient et déforestent pour planter. »  « C'est la loi de l'offre et de la demande » La très rentable industrie de la tequila attire la spéculation et répercute les effets du marché sur les producteurs. « C'est la loi de l'offre et de la demande, souligne Martin Muñoz Sanchez du Conseil régulateur de la tequila, beaucoup d'investisseurs sont arrivés dans le secteur sans contrôle, et ils ne savaient rien de la culture de l'agave. C'est un cercle vicieux. Quand le prix augmente, tout le monde plante. Ensuite, le prix chute et tout le monde se démotive. Les gens arrêtent de planter et ça génère un autre manque. On en verra l'impact dans 6-7 ans. Aujourd'hui, même si cela parait illogique, nous recommandons de planter des agaves. »  La tequila représente 2 % des spiritueux consommés dans le monde. La filière assure que le marché ne va cesser de grandir. Pendant ce temps, les exportations de tequila continuent d'augmenter, principalement vers les États-Unis et de plus en plus vers l'Europe.

If you think you enjoy drinking too much to ever stop, this episode will challenge you. Today I'm joined by Hattie Underwood from Sober Happy Free to talk addiction, sobriety, cocaine use, ADHD, anxiety, and what really happens when drinking stops working. From secretly drinking on Christmas morning with a newborn baby to nearly five years sober, this is a raw, honest look at alcohol addiction recovery and how change actually happens.Hattie shares the moment everything shifted - a quiet realisation there was nowhere left to hide. What follows is a story many people will recognise but rarely say out loud. The routines, the denial, the belief that things are still “under control” while everything underneath says otherwise. This episode breaks down the role of Dry January, relapse, and why temporary sobriety often isn't enough without a deeper shift. There's a clear distinction here between stopping and actually letting go — and why that difference matters if you're stuck in the cycle.We also go deeper into the psychology behind addiction. ADHD, dopamine, anxiety, eating disorders — the patterns that existed long before alcohol, and why substances can feel like the solution before they become the problem.Recovery isn't presented as perfect or instant. It's practical. Community, 12-step fellowship, structure, honesty — and learning how to live without constantly needing to escape your own mind.If you're questioning your relationship with alcohol, or even just curious whether things could feel different, this conversation gives you something real to work with. More about Hattie -Hattie is the face behind Sober Happy Free - a fast growing social media platform on Instagram and TikTok that's built a community of more than 38,000 people in just 18 months.Using her own experience of addiction, Hattie shares honestly about what helped her get sober - and, just as importantly, what's helped her stay sober - with the aim of helping others who might be struggling.She's a passionate advocate for removing the stigma around addiction and believes real change is possible and is 5 years sober.

You're not a woman who needs more information. You read the books. You follow the sober curious accounts. You've done Dry January. You've downloaded Sunnyside or Reframe. Every Sunday morning you promise yourself this week is going to be different. And here you are, still on the hamster wheel. There's nothing wrong with you. You're just trying to solve the wrong problem. This week Colleen walks through three blindspots that keep busy, successful women stuck in cycles of overdrinking. Why your identity is running the show without you knowing it. Why your refusal to slow down feels like strength. And why you can't criticize or out-think your way out of a pattern you can't see. Plus the story of teaching yoga from a chair while on bedrest with her fourth pregnancy, pushing a double jog stroller a mile and a half to the pool with four kids, and why none of this was ever actually about the alcohol. If you want a raw, real, honest conversation about what's actually going on, book a free discovery call. It's not about what's wrong with you. It's about figuring out what kind of support you actually need. Those are very different conversations.   If you see the benefit in having a private conversation with a certified coach, Click Here To Schedule A Free Discovery Call Watch The Free 45 Minute Masterclass: The science behind take it or leave it–why some women can and how you can too.    Find me on: YouTube: @HangoverWhisperer TikTok: @hangoverwhisperer Instagram: @thehangoverwhisperer  X (Twitter) : @NotAboutTheAlc

In midlife, a lot of women start noticing that alcohol hits differently. The glass of wine that used to feel relaxing now messes with your sleep, ramps up your anxiety, leaves you feeling emotionally fried, and makes it harder to bounce back. And if you've been stuck in the cycle of moderating, taking breaks, doing Dry January, and then starting over, you are so not alone. In this conversation, I'm talking with Claire Davis, founder of The Midlife Mentors, about why so many women begin questioning their drinking in their 40s and 50s, how hormones and perimenopause can change your relationship with alcohol, and why midlife can become a powerful turning point. If you're a good mom, a capable woman, the one everyone counts on — and yet you keep waking up at 3 a.m. wondering why you drank again when you said you wouldn't — this episode is for you.

If you've been going back and forth on sobriety, this episode is for you. Erin Washington, the host of ThERINpy, is 28 days sober. She's on her third Dry January, and for the first time it feels…easy! While she's not ready to commit to a sober life, she is definitely ready to commit to ‘not drinking today' and she's excited to see what can unfold from here. We get deep into the nitty gritty of how her aversion to restriction has kept her drinking in the years since she recovered from disordered eating. Erin shares all of the things that currently feel challenging in sobriety (social situations, dating, an intense sweet tooth. Sound familiar?). Plus, Erin will share the exact brand of NA wine that is SO good it has made her believe she could possibly give up alcohol for good.

In this revisited Think Thursday episode, Molly explains why March may be a better time than January to build lasting habits. If your New Year's goals have faded, this conversation offers a science-backed reframe: you have not failed. Your brain may simply respond better to change when routines are steadier and the timing supports follow-through.Molly explores the neuroscience of habit formation, the difference between short-term challenges like Dry January and sustainable behavior change, and why the fresh start effect can help you begin again at any time of year. She also shares simple strategies to make new habits easier to repeat and more likely to stick. Source transcript:In this episode:Why most January resolutions lose momentumThe difference between a short-term alcohol break and true habit changeHow the brain responds to the fresh start effectWhy stable routines make behavior change easierHow habit stacking and environmental design support successKey takeawayYou do not need to wait for January 1 to change your drinking habits. Lasting change happens when you work with your brain, not against it.

At the start of a new year, it’s common to see people vow to take a month-long break from alcohol. But as research continues to uncover the toll that alcohol can take on our overall health, Dry January has evolved from a yearly challenge into a full-on lifestyle change towards mindful drinking. Now, a lot more of us are asking, “What does it look like to invite more sober moments into everyday life?” This is where the idea of sober curiosity comes in. It’s not about adopting a complete anti-alcohol mindset, but about looking at it as more of an option rather than a necessity. Here to dive into exploring sober curiosity with us is returning guest, Kristen Feemster, LMFT. As a licensed marriage and family therapist and certified personal trainer, she aims for wellness in both physical and mental health in her work. Today we’ll chat about what sober curiosity really means and why this movement is resonating so deeply for so many of us. We’ll also talk about practical ways to step into sober curiosity and how to build a lifestyle that feels sustainable and rewarding for your overall well-being.

See if this rings true for you:   "Sensitive people are the most genuine and honest people you will ever meet. There is nothing they won't tell you about themselves if they trust your kindness. However, the moment you betray them, reject them or devalue them, they will end the friendship. They live with guilt and constant pain over unresolved situations and misunderstandings. They are tortured souls that are not able to live with hatred or being hated. This type of person needs the most love anyone can give them because their soul has been constantly bruised by others. However, despite the tragedy of what they have to go through in life, they remain the most compassionate people worth knowing and the ones that often become activists for the broken-hearted, forgotten and the misunderstood. They are angels with broken wings that only fly when loved."   Would you consider yourself a sensitive person? It isn't a bad thing at all, because you feel. And look out, it's the sober, sensitive person through their healing that heals others. That's the work we are doing here.   [08:01] Paul introduces Harvey:   Harvey is originally from Brooklyn but has lived many other places and currently spends his time between Virginia Beach and Fort Myers, FL. Harvey met his wife in 1980, and they have been married over 40 years. He works part time for CNN audio and just celebrated his 71st birthday.   Harvey took his first drink when he was 16 and says it wasn't the "a-ha" moment that many others have had. In college, weed was Harvey's drug of choice until it stopped working for him. He was able to quit easily but alcohol proved to be different.   In 1987 after a move to LA, Harvey and his wife got into the wine culture. It wasn't until two years later that he began to question his drinking and realizing he often woke up not feeling well. This began a tradition of Dry January where Harvey and his wife would quit drinking to let their bodies heal but never because they thought they were alcoholics.   In 2011 Harvey had his first turning point in his drinking. He was apparently hiding his drinking from his wife. When she confronted him with the empties he was hiding, he decided to go to an addiction counselor. They recommended AA and Harvey attended daily until he attempted to work the steps. The Higher Power aspect soured him.   Harvey went back out for more field research. Over time his wife was growing tired of his drinking and he eventually decided in 2024 to get back into recovery and discovered Recovery Elevator and Café RE when seeking alternatives to AA. He says he jumped right into the community and hasn't left.    Going forward Harvey is doing this for him and not just for his family. There have been a few difficult bouts of field research, but Harvey is committed to continuing his recovery. He acknowledges that he is coming to the acceptance phase of his grieving of alcohol. Harvey is exploring new hobbies, specifically music. He intends to continue going to Café RE chats, walking and being open to more opportunities to have fun.   Harvey's parting piece of guidance: don't put it off till next month or to Monday. If you've made the decision that you want to quit, do it immediately.   Recovery Elevator We took the elevator down; we've got to take the stairs back up. We can do this. I love you guys.     Café RE RE Instagram Sobriety Tracker iTunes  RE YouTube      

[Alive AF! stop over-drinking membership is now open through April 3rd!] www.angelamascenik.com/aliveaf If you've been trying to drink less for years; making rules, starting over on Mondays, doing Dry January or “taking a break” and it keeps not working the way you hoped, this episode will help you understand why. For many high-functioning women, drinking didn't begin as a habit. It began as a response. A response to stress, pressure, loneliness, overstimulation, reward, or simply the need to finally relax at the end of a long day. Over time, that response gets repeated enough that it starts to feel automatic. Like something you don't fully choose anymore. Like a pattern your brain runs before you even have time to think. In this episode, Angela Mascenik, certified stop over-drinking coach, breaks down how drinking habits actually form, why behavior-based approaches often don't last, and what it really takes to create lasting change from the inside out. If you're successful, responsible, and “high functioning” on the outside but privately exhausted from managing alcohol in your head, this conversation will feel very familiar. What you'll learn in this episode • Why drinking often starts as an emotional or nervous system response • How the brain builds automatic drinking patterns over time • The difference between conscious choice and conditioned habit • Why rules, challenges, and behavior-only approaches don't always stick • What it means to work underneath the habit instead of just on top of it • How learning to feel and process discomfort changes your relationship with alcohol • What real, sustainable change can look like Ready for deeper support? Alive AF! is Angela's monthly coaching membership for high-functioning women who want to change their relationship with alcohol in a thoughtful, sustainable, shame-free way. Inside you'll get coaching, community, workshops, and real tools to help you interrupt old patterns and build new ones. Enrollment is open now through April 3.Join here → www.angelamascenik.com/aliveaf

Un nouveau phénomène émerge dans le paysage festif : les "Sober Parties", des soirées qui ont tout d'une nuit en boîte... sauf l'alcool. On y danse, on discute, on s'amuse, mais sans verres renversés, sans excès et surtout sans gueule de bois le lendemain. Ce concept séduit particulièrement une jeunesse qui semble rompre avec les codes de la fête traditionnelle. Les jeunes boivent de moins en moins, et certains choisissent même de ne plus consommer d'alcool du tout. Les jeunes boivent-ils moins que leurs ainés ? Comment expliquer cette baisse ? Faut-il y voir une révolution culturelle ? Écoutez la suite de cet épisode de "Maintenant Vous Savez". Un podcast Bababam Originals écrit et réalisé par Fanny Sauveplane. À écouter ensuite : Comment les drogues et l'alcool influencent-ils nos comportements sur la route ? À partir de combien de verres est-on alcoolique ? Dry January : les Français consomment-ils trop d'alcool ? Retrouvez tous les épisodes de ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠"Maintenant vous savez".⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Suivez Bababam sur ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Text us a comment or question!Have you ever told yourself, "Tonight I'm only having one drink." And then somehow one becomes two… two becomes three… and the next morning you're wondering, "Why did I do that again?" Most people assume the answer is simple:  You just need more willpower. But according to today's guest, that belief is actually part of the problem. In this fascinating conversation, intuitive drinking coach Colleen Freeland explains why the struggle with alcohol isn't really about discipline, self-control, or even the alcohol itself.It's about how your brain, emotions, and nervous system respond to stress, habit, and identity. Colleen shares why traditional approaches like Dry January, white-knuckling, and strict rules often fail—and introduces a radically different idea: The solution to over-drinking isn't getting sober. It's getting happier. Through her concept of Emotional Sobriety, Colleen helps high-achieving professionals retrain their brains so that drinking less becomes natural and effortless, rather than a constant battle. And the insights she shares in this episode may completely change the way you think about alcohol, habits, and self-control. In This Episode You'll Learn:Why willpower alone almost never works when it comes to drinking lessThe surprising difference between alcoholism and Alcohol Use DisorderWhy many successful professionals quietly struggle with drinking habitsThe brain chemistry behind why one drink often leads to moreWhy Dry January and other “breaks” from alcohol often failHow stress and nervous system dysregulation drive the urge to drinkThe powerful mindset shift behind “Get Happy, Not Sober”How to create a healthy relationship with alcoholWhy emotional regulation may be the most important life skill you can develop About Today's GuestColleen Freeland is an Intuitive Drinking Coach and host of the globally top-ranked podcast It's Not About the Alcohol. She is the creator of Emotional Sobriety Coaching, a program designed for high-achieving professionals who want to dramatically reduce their alcohol consumption without relying on shame, rigid rules, or willpower. Colleen combines neuroscience, neurophysiology, cognitive reframing, and spirituality to help people retrain their brains so they naturally prefer moderation over over-drinking. Connect with ColleenWebsite: https://emotionalsobrietycoaching.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehangoverwhispererYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCv24pItAK0xWQ_m6mD8T50wTik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@hangoverwhispererFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/HangoverWhispererPodcast: It's Not About the Alcohol  If You Enjoyed ThiOver 50 and frustrated with your progress?

Jon (The Tired Dad) is back with a sobriety update — now 3+ years sober.

Have you ever wondered what would happen if you stopped drinking, even just for a month? In this episode, I'm sharing my honest experience with Dry January for moms, how it unexpectedly turned into 60+ days alcohol-free, and what I learned about sleep, weight loss, hormones, ADHD, and motherhood along the way. If you've ever used wine to unwind… struggled to lose weight… or questioned your relationship with alcohol, this conversation is for you. What to Listen For: Why alcohol was disrupting my sleep (and how better sleep boosted my energy almost instantly) The surprising connection between ADHD and alcohol consumption Why one night of drinking can impact your hormones and cravings the next day How alcohol affects leptin and ghrelin (your hunger and fullness hormones) The real impact of alcohol on weight loss and metabolism How alcohol can stall postpartum fitness and health goals What moms need to know about alcohol and breastfeeding How to approach Dry January for moms without extreme or all-or-nothing rules Dry January and taking a break from alcohol  for moms isn't about restriction. It's about awareness with your relationship with alcohol and when you use it.  If you're feeling exhausted, stuck in your weight loss journey, struggling with cravings, or just not feeling like yourself… this episode will help you reflect on whether alcohol is helping or hurting your goals. If this resonated with you, share it with another mama. And if you're ready to feel energized, balanced, and confident again after having kids, join my free workshop linked below. I'm cheering for you! --------------------------

Text and Be HeardWhat happens after dry January ends and the Super Bowl confetti settles? We dig into the emotional mechanics that fuel alcohol and gambling habits and show why white-knuckling a month of abstinence won't create the freedom you actually want. You'll hear a clear, practical shift: move from chasing quick highs to building a life powered by natural dopamine, honest routines, and character change that lasts.We challenge the common myths—alcohol as a social must, betting as entertainment—and lay out what they really cost in money, sleep, energy, and self-respect. From there, we walk through spiritual principles like honesty, courage, and discipline as daily practices, not just ideals. You'll learn how self-guided tools and step-based frameworks transform vague intentions into specific actions, and why support—therapy, coaching, faith mentors, and community—acts as the multiplier for growth. Instead of cycling from football to basketball to baseball bets, we offer a map for redirecting your attention toward health, relationships, purpose, and financial stability.Along the way, we share personal insights on finding peace and replacing late-night bets with mornings that matter—gym sessions, focused work, real connection. The goal isn't a perfect streak; it's a steady heart and a free mind. If you're ready to redefine your relationship with alcohol and gambling, anchor your days in routines that compound, and step toward deeper love, wealth, and spiritual connection, this conversation is your on-ramp.

Today we have Jack. He is 45 years old and from Los Angeles, CA. He took his last drink of alcohol on December 31st, 2024.   This episode is brought to you by:   Café RE – THE social app for sober people. Sign up and get 10% off: Better Help   [02:47] Thoughts from Paul:   Last week Paul talked about the intentional phase of sobriety: choosing what you want to explore next and how you are going to fill the void left by alcohol.   Looking at Lewis and Clark, we know that no expedition goes according to plan. So this week we will talk about setbacks because they're part of life. Maybe it's relapse (or Field Research as we refer to it in RE). Maybe it's an injury that sidelines your new running routine or an illness that drains your energy for weeks. Or it may just be life being life.   The thing about setbacks – they don't erase your progress; they're just part of the terrain. If you drink again, you have not gone back to zero. You've gathered data. You know more now than you did before – about triggers, patterns, what works and what doesn't.   The goal here is not perfection, it's persistence. If you are facing a setback – big or small – ask yourself: what's the adjusted route? Not "should I give up?" but "how do I keep moving forward from here?"   [7:46] Paul introduces Jack:   Jack grew up in New Jersey but now lives in LA. He is a runner and currently training for a marathon. He loves movies and video games, and he is currently taking a fragrance development course and plans to build his own brand and launch his own fragrance in the future.   Growing up, Jack was always sensitive and shy kid. His parents drank and alcohol was just a regular part of life with wine at dinner and craft beer always around.   As a teenager, Jack drank to fit in at parties. Jack is gay and used alcohol to cancel out his anxiety and the awkwardness he felt socially. He says he didn't drink all the time and there were no real consequences, just teenage experimentation,   Jack drank on the weekends through college and enjoyed going out to gay clubs. After transferring from Savannah back to NYC, he finished school and got a job as a graphic designer. Drinking became a daily activity on his commutes and on weekends. Jack also began moonlighting as a DJ hosting parties in Manhattan and Brooklyn, something he always dreamed of doing when he was a teenager. This opened up a new world of nightlife for Jack.   Jack would drink all night while DJ'ing and go to work a few hours later. He had his first panic attack at work and while he knew that it was the hangover that triggered it but found that alcohol gave him instant relief. Blackouts began to happen regularly, and it dawned on Jack that he wasn't sure he was going to be able to stop drinking.   Jack became sober-curious in 2016. He started reading books and taking time off from drinking. Soon after this started his partner had an opportunity to go to grad school in Boston and Jack felt like this could be a clean slate.   After a few years alcohol-free, Jack felt like he could handle alcohol again. He planned to drink on his birthday. This opened the door for regression and within 6 months, the pandemic found Jack drinking just like he was before.   Jack's anxiety and panic attacks caused by his alcohol abuse were getting the best of him. After a rough weekend in Vegas, he drank through that holiday and knew that he couldn't continue to drink. He had heard about RE's Dry January course and burned the ships with his partner.   Jack said the course was exactly what he needed at the time and he knew within the first week that this is how he wants to live his life. He felt the pink cloud and euphoria from making the daily decision to be sober. He is an active member in Café RE, enjoys running, hiking, meditation and finding connections with community. Jack says he has gone from Passive Sobriety to Active Recovery.   Recovery Elevator You took the elevator down You got to take the stairs back up We can do this.   RE Instagram Sobriety Tracker iTunes  RE YouTube

A lot of people do Dry January hoping it will reset their relationship with alcohol, and then feel confused or discouraged when it doesn't. Dry January works, just not in the way most people think it does. If you've ever taken a 30, 90, or even year-long break from drinking, felt better, and then slowly slid back into the same patterns, this episode will explain why. We'll talk about why willpower works during the challenge but fails afterward, why the brain treats breaks as an exception instead of a turning point, and what actually has to change for sobriety to stick. Once you understand the difference between a pause and a rewire, a lot of self-blame starts to fall away.  E296-300 drinking motives and how problem drinking develops/escalates Work with me: Community & Meetings: Living a Sober Powered Life https://www.soberpowered.com/membership Sober coaching https://www.soberpowered.com/sober-coaching Course Pickled.

This week on Pour Minds, Lex P and Drea Nicole kick off the new year with a solo episode, just the two of them, catching up and getting honest as they step into 2026. The girls talk lifestyle shifts, Dry January (or the attempt at it), fitness journeys, and the pressure that comes with trying to “reset” every new year. From debating cutting back on drinking to unpacking personal habits they're actively working through, this episode is all about growth without pretending perfection exists. Lex and Drea also dive into relationships and boundaries—why more women are choosing not to live with men, how cleanliness and personal space can make or break a relationship, and the difference between standards and control. They touch on beauty trends, filler culture, and the quiet insecurity that can come with chasing an ever-changing look online. Things take a deeper turn as they discuss friendship fallouts, family betrayal, letting go of people who no longer serve you, and whether everything really deserves closure. The conversation wraps with candid talk about aging, sex, libido myths, flakiness, accountability, and why communication still matters, even when you're tired.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What's Your Superpower?In this episode of CockTales: Dirty Discussions, Kiki and Medinah tap into reflection, purpose, and grown-woman clarity as they unpack the question: what's your real superpower? From unexpected “God wink” moments to conversations about confidence, imposter syndrome, and walking into rooms knowing you belong, this episode is about recognizing your value without needing permission.The ladies open up about how their strengths show up in work, relationships, and community — and why sometimes it takes a stranger, a producer, or a quiet moment to remind you that you're exactly where you're supposed to be. They also talk about commitment in this season of life, learning how to say no without guilt, setting boundaries that actually protect your peace, and why burnout isn't a badge of honor.In Weird Sex, the conversation turns to curiosity, threesomes, and ethical non-monogamy — breaking down how to talk about fantasies honestly, why curiosity doesn't equal dissatisfaction, and how consent and communication make all the difference.As always, things take a turn into real life: fostering chaotic cats, stepping back from dating, learning new skills, choosing rest, and staying grounded when life feels overwhelming. If you've been questioning your path, feeling stuck, or wondering whether you're doing enough, this episode is a reminder that your presence, your voice, and your energy matter more than you think.Sometimes your superpower isn't loud — it's just consistent.

We have a change of scenery on The Nikki & Brie Show as the twins are settling into their brand-new podcast room! Still a work in progress but they're bringing the vibes anyway as they kick off a cozy and candid conversation about weekly wins, tough losses, and everything in between.Nikki celebrates an epic experience at the Fiesta Bowl, a dreamy stay at the Princess Hotel in Arizona, and a chance encounter with football legend Eli Manning, who is just as nice as you'd hope. Brie's riding high after Buddy crushed his first-ever flag football game, scoring three touchdowns and making mom proud with his sportsmanship. But it wouldn't be real if they didn't talk about the losses too—Nikki opens up about mom-shaming in the comments section, and Brie confesses to a cookie binge that threw Dry January off track (shout out to Sweet Loren's).With lots of laughs and transparency, this episode is a warm reminder that growth comes from both wins and losses. As the twins share in their Inspiration & Affirmation segment: “You can't win until you learn how to lose.” Press play, get comfy, and ride the highs and lows with your favorite duo.

1. New Year’s Resolutions The first part of the discussion is lighthearted and personal. Both hosts share their resolutions for 2026: Ted Cruz’s resolutions: Lose 30 pounds (from 236 lbs to 206 lbs) through diet and exercise. Complete a “Dry January” (no alcohol for the month). Read the Bible daily throughout the year. Ben Ferguson’s resolutions: Focus on building muscle after significant weight loss (from 298 lbs to 209 lbs). Commit to reading the Bible daily alongside Cruz. They also reflect on family life, parenting, and the emotional challenges of children growing up and leaving home. 2. Minnesota Shooting, Riots & Fraud The second part shifts to a serious political discussion: Incident in Minnesota: A woman allegedly tried to run over an ICE agent with her SUV and was fatally shot. The hosts argue that the Left is politicizing the event, portraying the woman as a victim, and using the situation to attack law enforcement. Rhetoric and Violence: They criticize Democratic leaders for inflammatory language, claiming it encourages violence against ICE and law enforcement. Examples include: Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey telling ICE to “get out” of the city. Governor Tim Walz suggesting Minnesota is “at war” with the federal government. Fraud Scandal: They discuss a massive Somali-related fraud in Minnesota, allegedly involving $9 billion in taxpayer funds across multiple sectors (childcare, transportation, etc.). The conversation frames this as deliberate Democratic corruption tied to immigration policies and vote-buying. Law Enforcement Advice: Practical tips for interacting safely with police during traffic stops are shared, emphasizing respect and de-escalation. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

What starts as cozy weather, sweaters, and travel updates quickly turns into one of those classic Chalene conversations that goes everywhere and somehow still makes perfect sense. From updating makeup techniques for midlife faces to why separate bathrooms might be the secret to a happier marriage, this episode blends humor, honesty, and very real relationship truths. Chalene also shares an unfiltered update on sober curiosity, Dry January reflections, and how changing her relationship with alcohol quietly changed everything. Along the way there are beauty procedures, barefoot shoes, sleep rituals, and a vacation story that absolutely spirals in the most entertaining way possible.
