- Number 1: I Am Not Drinking Again
Twenty-four hours of food poisoning on an all-inclusive holiday, and Helen's body made a decision before her mind caught up. She'd been drinking that week too, the way she always did with her sister, and somewhere in the middle of being violently sick she found herself pleading with her own stomach: no more, nothing else toxic, please. She got home and never drank again. You don't need an excuse not to drink once your body has already made the case for you, and two years later, she still describes the moment as a decision made in an instant. Helen and Coach Cole discuss: ● Sneaking sips of wine and gin as a kid, and how alcohol felt like the ultimate grown-up, exciting thing ● Getting so drunk on her 18th birthday that her parents thought she'd been spiked with something worse than alcohol ● Needing “a valid reason” not to drink once her kids weren't little anymore, and how strange that felt to admit out loud ● The bout of food poisoning on holiday with her sister that made the decision for her, in an instant ● Why reading This Naked Mind felt like confirmation instead of a wake-up call ● And more on finding an alcohol-free music festival and what she'd tell her teenage self about dancing… Ready to take the next step?

- Number 2: How to Quit Drinking as a Mom
Six years ago, Payal looked in the mirror the morning after a blackout and finally had enough of herself. She's back on Where Are They Now to talk about how to quit drinking as a mom when mommy wine culture makes it feel normal, and what six years actually built: a dad and two sisters who gave up alcohol right along with her, and two boys who have never once seen their mom drunk. Payal and Coach Hayley discuss: Growing up believing a drink was the only way to build real confidence, and what she knows now that she didn't then The four-pack of small wine bottles hidden at the bottom of the trash, and the mommy wine culture that made it feel normal Why she could never just have one, and the single therapist conversation that finally connected the dots What it actually looks like to quit drinking as a mom when your spouse still drinks Learning how to have fun without alcohol again, after believing for years it wasn't possible And more on the "playing the tape forward" trick she still uses today, and finding your own path to alcohol freedom… Ready to take the next step?

57min - Number 3: I Never Gave Myself a Chance
What does it take to stop shaming yourself for drinking again? Sarah and Katie are trying to figure that out. It's easy to say that you need to change through compassion, self-love, and empathy, but putting that into practice is a much different story. Coach Hayley and Coach Cole use their training and their own experiences with drinking again to help Sarah and Katie use curiosity instead of blame and shame. Sarah discusses: Why over 100 days alcohol-free hasn't erased the fear that one bad day could send her back to hair of the dog Trusting the tools she's learned instead of the shame and blame she used to reach for first Bartending without missing the version of herself who used to drink through her shifts The intervention her sister and best friend staged, and why she couldn't hear it at the time Katie discusses: The "why" she keeps circling back to after relapsing months into a daily wine habit Reframing withdrawal agitation as her body healing instead of a sign something's wrong The 90 percent of her negative thoughts that turn out to be rumination, not fact Why being a "fixer" makes it harder to get curious about her own drinking pattern And more from both guests… Ready to take the next step?

1h 7min - Number 4: Regular Drinkers Don't Exist
Learning how to stop feeling left out when you quit drinking starts, for Brenda, with a very specific list: people who can supposedly drink like it's nothing and never seem to pay for it. Kate's experience looks different: a friend in recovery who stopped getting invited to things, and a dinner this weekend she's already rehearsing lines for. Listen as our coaches help Brenda and Kate separate fact from fiction and learn why regular drinkers don’t exist. Brenda discusses: Why "regular drinkers" turned out to be a myth she was ready to test A "party with a price tag," and what that persona actually cost her Three years in a weight loss program, and the math she'd never done The two rooms Coach Zoe asks her to choose between, and which one she picks Kate discusses: Why she'd rather say "I'm taking a break" than let anyone use the word "problem" The word "stigma," and why it fits alcohol in a way it never fit quitting smoking The specific tactics for a dinner, a band, and zero big announcements The two truths Coach Hayley asks her to hold at the same time And more from both guests… Ready to take the next step?

1h 1min - Number 5: Drinking Out of Boredom
Trigger Warning: This episode includes mentions of a medical emergency and a homicide. Sunday morning, and Brenda can't get out of bed. Her head is pounding hard enough that she genuinely believes she might die from it, so she turns over and doesn't get up again until one in the afternoon. She'd been retired for years by then, a daily schedule and routine filled with wine instead, and what she labeled relaxing was really drinking out of boredom. A couple of glasses had turned into a full box, then a bottle most nights, one more way to use up hours a twenty-year police career used to take up on its own. A week later, she threw that box of wine in the trash. Brenda and Coach Cole discuss: Starting the police academy, getting married, and quitting drinking, all in the same month, years apart Why retiring in 2013 removed the one thing that had kept her drinking in check Naming the voice in her head Dave, and talking back to him out loud in the car The pink cloud moment driving home along the lake six weeks after her last drink The Sunday morning hangover that convinced her she was dying, and why it became her turning point Why she filled her newly empty days with sewing for her local theater and mornings back at the SPCA And more on rebuilding her marriage and finally learning to put herself first… Ready to take the next step?
