Danni Carr; How I Quit Alcohol
Send a text
Ever plan your grand return to wine, only to realize you want your mornings more than the glass? That’s where our guest, musician and trauma‑informed sober coach Danni, found herself after a “just twelve months off” pact turned into eight years of clarity. We dive into the messy middle—shame spirals, identity in the music scene, and the gut-punch of waking to calls you don’t remember—and then get practical about what actually keeps you steady when the clink of glasses sounds tempting.
We talk about alcohol as a nervous system solution that works until it doesn’t, and the three questions that flipped the script: what happened to me, what did alcohol do for me, and what was it protecting me from? Danni shares how journaling, therapy, and compassionate inquiry reduced the noise, while simple, repeatable tools—slow nasal breathing, short somatic check-ins, and unfussy yoga—created that vital pause between urge and action. No perfection posturing here; just grounded strategies that you can use at a barbecue, in the car, or in the hallway before a tough conversation.
We also go deep on perimenopause and sobriety: how alcohol masks symptoms, wrecks sleep, and magnifies anxiety, and why evidence-based care, HRT, and micro-practices matter. You’ll hear how daily rituals lowered baseline stress, strengthened relationships, and made space for honesty without the hangover. Danny opens up about her evolving course, the importance of community, and choosing to slow down to prioritize family and a life on tour that aligns with her values.
If you’ve ever wondered why you drink, how to stop doom-scrolling after a night out, or what to do with the awkward minutes at a party, this episode hands you a humane, workable roadmap. Listen, breathe with us for a minute, and leave with tools you can use tonight.
