In this candid episode of Magic in Microdoses, I share my personal journey toward living alcohol-free—from shame spirals of hangovers to how microdosing mushrooms helped me break old patterns for good. If you’re questioning your own relationship with alcohol or any numbing habit, this one’s for you!

• Why I Chose an Alcohol-Free Life: Hear about the tough moments that pushed me to say, “Enough!” and how I realized alcohol was standing in the way of the life I truly wanted.
• How Microdosing Played a Role: Learn how Amanita mushrooms and daily practices helped me face cravings, reduce anxiety, and practice compassion for the most vulnerable parts of myself.
• Emotional Resilience & Self-Compassion: Discover the mindset shifts and journaling rituals that kept me committed—plus how I dealt with the early “honeymoon phase” of sobriety giving way to real-life challenges.

This week, notice one moment when you’d usually reach for alcohol—or any other distraction. Instead, try a microdosing reflection, a short walk, or a quick self-care activity. Notice how this small shift influences your mood, mindset, and future choices.

Letting go of alcohol is not about perfection; it’s about progress, self-kindness, and honoring your deepest values. Healing is a journey, and microdosing can be a powerful tool for illuminating the path forward.
