Ep 132: Don’t Let Alcohol Decide for You: Make a Freedom Plan You’ll Be Proud Of


Listen Later

Freedom isn't just a concept we celebrate on July 4th—it's something we can experience in our relationship with alcohol too. If you've found yourself drinking more than intended at social gatherings or automatically reaching for that glass of wine after a long day, this episode offers a practical pathway to greater independence.

What if this Independence Day became your personal liberation celebration? I'm sharing a complete freedom plan that helps you approach holiday gatherings with intention instead of anxiety. This isn't about deprivation—it's about choosing peace, presence, and clarity on your own terms.

We walk through seven practical steps that make all the difference. Each step builds your confidence and reconnects you with your authentic self.

The most transformative insight? You're not missing out by drinking less—you're gaining something profoundly more valuable.

Whether you're curious about moderation, taking a break from alcohol, or seeking resources for a sober-curious friend, this episode provides gentle, practical guidance rooted in faith and neurological understanding. Every small step you take is building new patterns that lead to greater freedom. We're walking this journey together, one joyful, sometimes awkward, totally Holy Spirit-led step at a time.
