P.S. I apologize that I keep bumping my microphone.  I will make a conscious effort to STOP doing this going forward.

ABOUT ME:

Hi, I’m Lise (sounds like ‘lease’). I quit drinking at age 47. I was a habitual wine drinker after work, and binge drinker on the weekends for many years. I've been aclohol-free since 11-1-2020 and caffeine-free since 11-6-2021. I don't think about drinking alcohol and I don't miss it. Mindfulness strategies and spiritual solutions CHANGED my life and it can change yours too. I’m spilling the tea on how I did it and how you can too. I spent 20 years working in corporate finance for multi-million and billion dollar companies. My chronic stress and drinking habit was silently and slowly wrecking my health, relationships and professional life. My habits included over-drinking, binge-drinking, people-pleasing, perfectionism, over-working, over-thinking and procrastinating. Not any more. If I can do it so can you. If this sounds good to you, please consider following the podcast. I'm so glad we found each other.

Let's talk about how to handle triggers.

You know, those things that make you feel like you need a drink (seeing your ex's new girlfriend/boyfriend on social media, getting in an argument, thinking about a loved one or pet who has passed, an annoying co-worker, stressful day, etc.)
