Ep 365 You Didn't Fail - You Returned (Changing Your Relationship with Alcohol)
In this episode of Stop Over-Drinking and Start Living, I share a simple question my yoga teacher asked us before practice:
“Why did you return?”
Not why you stayed consistent.
Not why you did it perfectly.
But why you came back.
This episode is about why returning to work on your relationship with alcohol — whether you want to cut back, take a break, or stop over-drinking — is not failure. It’s commitment.
If you’ve taken time away from this work…
If you’ve disengaged, started again, stopped again…
If you’re here listening after some time away…
This conversation is for you.
We explore:
Why commitment isn’t about perfection or never slipping
How returning is often the real work
Why time away doesn’t erase what you’ve learned
How to come back to changing your drinking without shame
Why choosing again can be an act of self-trust and care
You don’t have to start over.
You don’t have to explain yourself.
And you don’t have to do this perfectly.
If you’re sober curious, thinking about drinking less, or want a healthier relationship with alcohol without AA or rigid rules — you’re in the right place.
And if you want to deepen this work with me in a powerful, immersive way, there are a few remaining spots at The Magic House Retreat Center, my international retreat center for women ready to get alcohol out of the way and come back to themselves.
