6 Reasons We Quit Drinking / EP 96
What if the best parts of you were just waiting on the other side of your last drink?
In this episode of Sober & Lit, your hosts Susan and Ruby—alcohol freedom coaches with two very different journeys—reveal the surprising, unfiltered reasons why they chose to ditch alcohol for good. From Ruby’s past life in the wine industry to Susan’s search for deeper spiritual connection, this isn’t just another “why I quit drinking” story—it’s a powerful reframe of what you gain when you go alcohol-free.
What if giving up drinking didn’t mean missing out—but waking up?
Join us as we unpack the mental, emotional, and physical shifts we never expected: clearer mornings, real confidence, deep joy, and the sparkle we thought alcohol was supposed to give us (but never quite did). You’ll hear personal truths, real-talk about old habits, and inspiration to build your own “why” for an alcohol-free life.
Whether you're just beginning to question your drinking or fully in the sober curious lane, this episode will remind you what’s possible when you choose to feel lit—no booze required.
