No Rock Bottom Required to Quit Drinking: What If You Just Want to Feel Better? / EP 85
What if your “wake-up call” didn’t have to be a disaster?
In this powerful episode of the Sober & Lit Podcast, Coaches Ruby and Susan shatter the outdated belief that you need to hit rock bottom to reevaluate your relationship with alcohol.
Do you really have to lose everything to want more for yourself?
What if feeling meh is enough of a reason to start feeling lit?
With raw honesty and hard-earned wisdom, they unpack the real reasons high-functioning women stay stuck, how alcohol is quietly stealing your energy, and why questioning your drinking doesn’t make you broken—it makes you brave.
They dive into:
- The myth of the “alcoholic” label
- Stress, social pressure, and the spiral of numbing
- The quiet power of taking a break
- How to spot the “glimmers” that guide your healing
Ready to explore freedom without hitting a wall? Tune in now—and find out why you’re allowed to want better, even if things aren’t “that bad.”
