The Not Drinking Alcohol Today Podcast

Breaking Free from Alcohol: Trauma, Inner Beliefs, and Healing


Listen Later

Join us for Meg's interview for the Sober Summit with Maggie Klaassen's. 

Why can some people take or leave alcohol while others feel trapped in a drinking cycle? 

At 17, a panic attack in front of her class sparked years of social anxiety. At 18, alcohol felt like magic—it stopped the shaking and gave her confidence. Weekend drinks slowly turned into nightly home drinking, eventually reaching two bottles of wine a night.

In this conversation, Meg shares how hidden traumas and core beliefs—like feeling unlovable or not enough—fuel drinking. Alcohol may feel like relief, but it often worsens the anxiety we’re trying to escape.

Her journey to freedom began with asking why she drank and uncovering the wounds beneath, leading her to help others heal and reconnect with their authentic selves.

If you’re questioning your drinking or supporting someone who is, this episode offers hope, compassion, and the reminder that change is a process—one that begins with curiosity.
