When Is The Best Time To Change Your Drinking? Here's How To Break Free / EP 83
Welcome to the Sober & Lit Podcast—where living alcohol-free gets to be bold, empowered, and dare we say… fun.
In this episode, Susan and Ruby ask the question so many of us avoid: Is there ever a “right” time to change your relationship with alcohol?
Spoiler: That time might just be now.
As the air shifts and September energy rolls in, they're breaking down why this season is prime time to start fresh—no rock bottom required. Think: new routines, back-to-school vibes, and momentum that’s practically begging you to start something instead of quit something.
You’ll hear about:
- The sneaky trap of “I’ll stop tomorrow” thinking
- How the Groundhog Day cycle of drinking keeps us stuck
- Real stories of transformation after just 30 days alcohol-free
- Why curiosity is the new willpower
- And how a simple self-hug (yes, really!) can calm your nervous system better than wine ever could
If you’ve been waiting for a sign to explore sober curiosity or take a break from drinking—this is it.
Tune in, grab your favorite AF drink, and let’s light up your September with possibility.
