Reframeable Podcast

Steph is joined by fellow Reframer Marissa Charest today on the podcast. Marissa joined Reframe in December 2022 and says her life has been completely transformed since. Marissa started on the Cutback track, but within 48 hours realized she wanted to switch to the AF track where she made it 19 days, followed by drinking on vacation, she struggled all thru January and February of this to make the decision within herself to be done.

February 27th was Marissa’s last day 1 and 20-something days later, she traveled to Kentucky to spend a weekend with her new Reframe besties while having one of the best experiences imaginable. That trip solidified Marissa’s decision to be done with alcohol for good, and yet she still takes it one day at a time.

Marissa and Steph talk about the importance of accountability and community while navigating an alcohol-free lifestyle and she provided some really helpful tips for you, dear listener, to form your own supportive group of like-minded folks. Marissa also talked about traveling alcohol-free, phantom thoughts - her term for when her brain thinks “i could sneak that drink” even though she doesn’t want to, and a surprising moment when her husband, who doesn’t struggle with alcohol, got a taste of what a trigger was like.

Marissa’s advice to anyone confused or curious or considering going alcohol free: it’s not a cake walk, or a diamond encrusted life over here... but it’s worth every single MF second of the work. I PROMISE!

Today Kevin chats with Maria who is a fellow Reframer and a university professor in Kinesiology who has worked with people with degenerative diseases for 15 years. Maria says she has had a dysfunctional relationship with alcohol for a great deal of that time. In January 2022, they broke up when she joined Reframe. Then got back together about 9 months later when I dabbled (heavily at times) on and off until May 30, 2023. This time around is different because she says she has leaned into the Reframe community, made some amazing friendships, and worked with the amazing coaches. At first, she wanted to be able to do it on her own and it became apparent that she needed more than just daily readings and tracking her non-drinking days to be successful.

She used alcohol as an escape from things like grief and burnout. It took reevaluating what she was doing in her professional life to address burnout and turn more towards healthier coping mechanisms to deal with that grief. She has always been an athletic person and identifies as a runner but really any sort of long distance adventure in nature is where she thrives and feels most at peace. She’s biked across the country, run multiple ultra marathons, and started outrigger paddling this year. She has found community in Reframe and also in the sports that she has grown to love.

In today's episode of the Reframeable podcast, we talk with Joy Rumore. Joy is a wife and mother of two kids living in Tampa, Florida. She enjoys spending quality time with her family and long distance ultra marathon/marathon running. She enjoys living her life alcohol free and all of the benefits that come along with it.

In today's episode we talk with Kat Porco. Kat shares with us her story of going from working at a non-profit for cystic fibrosis to being a bar owner who's sober.  Along with her husband Mike they are pushing the boundaries of nightlife in the small mountain town of Red Lodge, MT. They own One Legged Magpie, a craft cocktail bar with one of the most robust zero proof menus in the nation. Kat knows that much of the allure of drinking is the ritual, the pause in life when you raise a glass, the sense of community, and the conversations that evolve. We all seek out people,  celebrations, and energy. All of which are available at Magpie, sans alcohol. Our staff is predominately sober, offering a unique perspective in our world that is flooded with booze. Sober for a night or for a lifetime, all are welcome.
