Wild Sobriety

Is Not Drinking a Form of Punishment? The Feminine Way to True Freedom


Listen Later

You get to decide what sobriety means for you.

Today’s episode is inspired by a listener question:

“How do we ensure we're not using not drinking alcohol as a form of punishment or deprivation?”

This question is huge, because how you think about alcohol—and about quitting it—determines your experience of sobriety. The feminine way to releasing alcohol isn’t about willpower or restriction; it’s about embodying a new way of being—one where not drinking becomes an act of self-honor, not self-denial.

  •  What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
  •  Why the belief that sobriety is punishment is just that—a belief
  •  How to shift your mindset so that quitting drinking feels like a gift, not a loss
  •  The role of safety in the feminine way of transformation
  •  How to explore and rewrite your beliefs about alcohol
  •  Why your body is already designed to generate real pleasure—without alcohol

This Is Not Deprivation—It’s Awakening
Sobriety is not about taking something away. It’s about waking up to the truth of who you are. It’s about stepping into an embodied experience of peace, power, and pleasure.

Listen and Apply

  •  What do you believe about alcohol?
  •  How does that belief shape your experience?
  •  What if quitting drinking was the most loving thing you could do for yourself?

This is your invitation to step back, create space, and start questioning everything you thought was true.
