For years, I struggled with the idea of quitting drinking. I wrote about it in my journal, promising myself I wouldn't open that nightly bottle of wine, only to cave by evening. I'd done Dry January and Sober October, but I always returned to my habits. At the end of May 2024, I made a deal with myself: no alcohol for 100 days, no exceptions. By the end of those 100 days, I decided to quit for good. Now, six months later, I'm healthier, happier, and more aligned with who I want to be. Here's what I've learned. First, sobriety has brought clarity, courage, and success. Without alcohol dulling my emotions, I've started to figure out who I truly am and what I want in life. I no longer avoid tough decisions or ignore dissatisfaction. Instead, I tackle life head-on, confident in my ability to make meaningful changes. Second, quitting alcohol has improved my relationship with my son. I'm less irritable and more present, which has strengthened our bond. I'm also proud to role model what it looks like to kick a habit and enjoy life without alcohol. Third, my health has dramatically improved. I've lost over 20 pounds, my skin glows, and I feel stronger than I have in years. While I still work on sleeping better, most mornings I wake up rested and energized. Fourth, I've discovered that I don't need alcohol to have fun. In fact, I enjoy myself more without it because I'm fully myself. Whether sipping a mocktail or NA sparkling rosé, I feel more authentic and engaged in social settings. Finally, I'm far more productive. Evenings that once revolved around wine are now filled with reading, writing, yoga, or simply relaxing with a clear head. Mornings are free of regret and full of possibility, which has supercharged my creativity and focus. I'm sharing this not to judge anyone but to inspire reflection. Many people drink without issue, but if you've wondered whether it's holding you back, it's worth exploring. Breaking a habit isn't easy—it takes time and consistency. Research shows it takes an average of 66 days to form a new habit, with some habits taking longer. Commit to a clear goal, identify triggers, and replace old rituals with healthier ones. Quitting alcohol has been one of the most transformative decisions of my life. If you're considering a change, know that it's possible—and the life waiting on the other side might surprise you.

After losing a dear friend who was alcohol dependent, Melissa McGovern fell into some unhealthy patterns, drinking and indulging in comfort foods. Then everything changed in August 2023.

After that doctor's visit, Melissa quit drinking and changed her diet, losing a staggering 30 pounds in just 3 months. And now at age 53, she's an alcohol-free coach, an alum of Karolina's Empowered AF Coach Certification program, and she is SLAYING.  This episode is so moving, and Melissa's incredible transformation in such a short time is truly astounding.

To recognize 6 years since Adam made the decision to stop drinking alcohol he shares 10 benefits and 5 metaphors if you want to change your relationship with alcohol.  Quitting alcohol permanently can lead to significant improvements in various aspects of your life. Here are ten benefits you may experience: 1. **Improved Physical Health**: Abstaining from alcohol reduces the risk of developing numerous health issues, including liver diseases like cirrhosis and fatty liver, cardiovascular problems, and certain types of cancer. 2. **Enhanced Mental Well-Being**: Alcohol can exacerbate anxiety and depression. Quitting can lead to improved mood, reduced stress levels, and better overall mental health. 3. **Better Sleep Quality**: While alcohol might make you feel sleepy initially, it disrupts the sleep cycle. Sobriety promotes more restful and restorative sleep. 4. **Weight Management**: Alcohol is calorie-dense and can contribute to weight gain. Eliminating it can aid in weight loss and make it easier to maintain a healthy weight. 5. **Increased Energy Levels**: Without alcohol's depressive effects, you may notice higher energy levels and improved productivity throughout the day. 6. **Financial Savings**: The money previously spent on alcohol can be saved or redirected toward other meaningful activities or investments. 7. **Improved Relationships**: Quitting alcohol can lead to better communication and stronger relationships with family and friends, as sobriety often enhances emotional availability. 8. **Enhanced Cognitive Function**: Abstaining can improve memory, focus, and overall brain function, since alcohol consumption can impair cognitive abilities over time. 9. **Stronger Immune System**: Alcohol can weaken your immune response. Quitting helps bolster your immunity, making you less susceptible to illnesses. 10. **Reduced Risk of Accidents**: Without alcohol impairing judgment and coordination, you're less likely to experience accidents or injuries related to intoxication. Overall, giving up alcohol can lead to a healthier, happier, and more fulfilling life.

But by her mid-50s, Seana decided she had had enough.Seana Smith grew up in a beautiful house in rural Scotland, and when things were good at home, they were wonderful.But Seana's father loved to drink, and his habit took over her family's life.Despite the fights, abuse and violence, Seana's mother couldn't bring herself to leave her husband, and so Seana found every excuse to get away -- from pony camp at 12 years old, to applying for boarding school without her parents' knowledge, and then to Oxford University.Eventually Seana fell in love and ended up on the opposite side of the world, in Australia, where she started a family of her own.But as she reached her mid 50s, Seana realised that the way she loved to drink meant she hadn't really left home at all, and so she started her own journey of sobriety.Seana's story deals with themes of alcoholism, substance abuse, problem drinking, dementia, family violence, sobriety, motherhood and getting sober.
