What if the bravest thing you do is stop negotiating with alcohol?

In this episode of the Sober Vibes Podcast, Courtney Andersen sits down with women’s mentor and certified EFT tapping practitioner Sophia Grinjella to explore what really happens after you decide to quit drinking and how to actually stay alcohol-free without white-knuckling.

Sophia shares how quitting alcohol at 29 reshaped her identity, friendships, travel experiences, and daily energy. What started as years of moderation and “trying to control it” eventually led to a full pivot into presence, health, and self-trust. A key part of that transformation? EFT tapping—a powerful blend of cognitive and somatic work that helps regulate the nervous system, calm cravings, and replace liquid courage with embodied confidence.

Together, Courtney and Sophia unpack the messy middle between deciding to quit and truly living free. They talk about grief for the old self, navigating FOMO, setting boundaries with friends, and learning how to show up at dinners, dates, airports, and social events without a glass in your hand.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What EFT tapping is and how it works for cravings and anxiety
• How daily tapping routines can reduce urges and ease FOMO
• Why the moderation cycle stalls real change
• Regulating the nervous system to build absolute, lasting confidence
• Practical tools for airports, dinners, and social events
• How to replace “liquid courage” with self-trust

This episode is for anyone ready to stop bargaining with alcohol and start building a life rooted in calm, clarity, and self-trust.
