Have you ever tried to quit drinking and thought, “Why is this so hard? Shouldn’t it be easier?” You’re not alone. Quitting alcohol often feels harder than it should not because you’re weak, but because alcohol changes your brain chemistry, your coping patterns, and the way you deal with stress.

In episode 244 of the Sober Vibes Podcast, I’m breaking down the real reasons quitting feels so challenging and what actually makes it easier. Whether you’re sober curious, in your first 30 days without alcohol, or stuck in the stop-start cycle, this conversation will help you see that you don’t need more willpower, you need better tools and support.

What You'll Learn in this Episode:

• How alcohol impacts your brain and fuels alcohol-induced anxiety
• Why drinking to cope with alcohol and stress makes quitting feel impossible
• How relying on alcohol speeds up alcohol and aging in your body and skin
•  Why trying to stop drinking with willpower alone often fails
•  The freedom that comes when you stop drinking every night and start building new habits
•  How a sober coach can help you break the cycle and finally follow through

If you’ve been telling yourself you should be able to do this alone, this episode is your reminder: you’re not broken, you just need the right support.
