Ep. 85: Alcohol-Free Living Made Easier: The Power of Habit Hacking

30 minutes

Are your habits helping you build a fulfilling alcohol-free life, or are they keeping you stuck? In this episode, Sara and Heather dive deep into habit hacking—how small shifts in your daily routines can create massive, lasting change. Whether you're trying to break free from alcohol, social media scrolling, emotional eating, or any other unhelpful habit, this episode will give you the tools to identify your triggers, shift your routines, and embrace habits that truly support your well-being.

If you've found yourself slipping on your goals now that the energy of January has faded, this episode is your reset button. 🚀

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

✅ The habit loop—understanding cues, routines, and rewards

✅ How habits shape your alcohol-free journey and overall well-being

✅ The power of non-negotiables in keeping you grounded

✅ Small, sustainable shifts that lead to big transformation

✅ How to break free from stuck habits (drinking, numbing, avoidance)

✅ The role of identity-based habits in long-term success

✅ How your environment can make or break your progress

✅ Why building a life you love makes sobriety easier (not harder!)

✅ The importance of community and how to find the right support

Key Takeaways & Action Steps:

🔹 Identify one habit shift you can implement TODAY. Start small!

🔹 Instead of saying “I’m trying to quit drinking,” say “I’m a person who prioritizes my well-being.”

🔹 Your environment matters—set up your space for success.

🔹 Swap habits for mindful rituals (ex: replace scrolling with journaling, alcohol with tea, etc.)

🔹 Community is everything—find support through Day Makers or online sober spaces.

🔹 Progress over perfection—every step forward is a win!
