What if quitting drinking isn’t actually the real problem?
In this episode of Wild Sobriety, I share how I stopped making alcohol the center of my life — and started focusing on what actually mattered: learning to handle real life without needing to escape it.
I talk about how changing my relationship with alcohol wasn’t about giving something up, but about raising the quality of my problems — from “how do I stop drinking?” to “how do I create a life that doesn’t need alcohol at all?”
It’s not about perfection. It’s about presence, power, and emotional maturity — the kind that makes you proud of who you’re becoming.
✨ Takeaways:
• The real reason trying to “quit drinking” keeps you stuck
• What I focus on now instead of “not drinking”
• How I learned to see alcohol as a symptom, not the source
• The truth about emotional avoidance and self-abandonment
• The simple question I ask myself that always brings me back to peace
Learn how to say no to alcohol, deprivation free with your wild feminine self.
