The Alcohol Freedom Podcast

Today I’m talking with my friend Heather, who approached her issues with alcohol in a creative and different way. She took a break and then successfully added alcohol back in, in an intentional way, and now she has a positive relationship with her drinking.

We talk about Heather’s story, what (and who!) helped her along the way and her advice for people who are just getting started.

You can find Heather on Instagram here.

Have you ever had the thought that you’re a terrible person because of the way you drink?

I hear that.

I used to think that about myself.

In this week’s episode, I am taking a deep dive into the reasons why we equate our drinking with our morality - even though the science says otherwise.

And, more importantly, what you can do to start to make a shift.

In today’s episode, we are talking about the four ways that humans deal with their negative feelings and why it is important to know this when you are trying to reduce or eliminate alcohol from your life.

Are all discussed in the (rather uncomfortable) analogy of being at the dentist and getting a root canal.

This sensationally charged episode will help you understand how YOU deal with negative emotions and how to change it, if you want to.

Why does it feel so terrible when we try to rest?

And by rest, we mean ACTUALLY resting.

Not scrolling social media.

Not watching TV or snacking.

Not reading or catching up on work emails.

Just sitting and doing nothing.

We know it's important for our health and especially our nervous system.

But why does it feel so bad when we try to do it?

In this week’s episode, we talk all about why that is and what to do about it.

In today’s quick episode our host, Michelle Kapler, is defining Alcohol Freedom.

What does it mean to find alcohol freedom?

Does it mean we can never drink again? Michelle says no and explains why. 

It actually has nothing to do with whether or not you put alcohol into a glass and ingest it. It has everything to do with what you’re thinking and how you’re feeling about it.

In today’s episode our host, Michelle Kapler, talks about our current narrative when it comes to solving your drinking problem: “You can never drink again.”

Today, we are exploring an alternative way to think about it.

How would it feel to say, “I can drink anytime I want to?”

What would it be like if I told you it was possible to change your relationship with your drinking, without having to abstain for the rest of your life?

What if there was an option to do this in a way that didn't involve renouncing your power and choice to something outside of yourself?

What if there was a solution that left YOU completely in the driver’s seat?

How would that change the way you think about changing your relationship with alcohol?

In this episode, we cover all of those questions and more…
