Feeling Your Emotions Without Alcohol | Understanding the Urge to Drink | Alcohol Freedom Coaching | E799


Listen Later

What happens when you finally feel your emotions instead of trying to numb them with alcohol? In this episode, we hear two powerful coaching conversations. Coach Zoe talks with Jill, who is finding her way back to her spiritual side after years of working in a high-stress job where drinking was common. Coach Ruby works with Ambur, a former college athlete and mom of two young kids, who is now 120 days alcohol-free. Both women are learning how to feel their emotions instead of escaping them. They’re on the road to understanding the urge to drink as a sign that they were feeling disconnected from who they really are. These sessions show how self-kindness and body awareness can take the place of alcohol when it comes to handling tough emotions.


In Jill’s session with Coach Zoe:

  • Returning to neglected areas of life, like spirituality, after quitting.
  • Recognizing how career focus can inadvertently support drinking habits.
  • Learning to connect with and process bodily sensations and emotions.
  • Exploring meditation and somatic work as tools for emotional regulation.
  • Utilizing anchoring techniques to stay present during discomfort.
  • Understanding self-compassion as a key to emotional processing.
  • The significance of acknowledging and learning from past drinking experiences
  • and more…
  • In Ambur’s session with Coach Ruby:

    • Navigating early motherhood and perfectionism without alcohol
    • Celebrating 120 days alcohol-free and learning to feel again
    • Understanding the urge to drink as a desire to escape loneliness
    • Using meditation, exercise, and truth-telling as new tools
    • Processing emotions instead of labeling them as “bad”
    • Letting go of judgment and learning to sit with discomfort
    • Replacing sneaky drinking with honest communication
    • Exploring what a sustainable alcohol-free life looks like
    • and more…
