Sabrina’s Naked Life | EP 916

Trigger Warning: This episode includes mentions of an eating disorder.

What does it really take to stop drinking when every warning sign you've been handed just isn't enough? Sabrina grew up watching her father drive drunk, got her own DUI at 17, and spent years treating pregnancy as her only real break from alcohol. It wasn't a rock bottom that finally did it; it was her husband standing at the door with packed bags on Halloween, and four daughters she wasn't willing to lose. Now 18 months alcohol-free, Sabrina is here because she remembers exactly how lonely day one felt, and she wants the next woman to know she doesn't have to feel that way. Sabrina shares what she discovered about how to stop drinking as a mom.

Sabrina and Coach Cole discuss:

Growing up surrounded by alcohol and no example of what moderate drinking looks like

Why DUIs and close calls weren't enough to make her stop

Discovering that pregnancy was the only "free pass" she felt she had to be alcohol-free, and how beautiful those windows were

Her husband packing his bags on Halloween and why that ultimatum changed everything

Finding Annie Grace's podcast on her commute to work and what it finally felt like to understand that it wasn't her fault

And more on communication after alcohol, sharing this gift with others and how to stop drinking as a mom
