Summary

Finding your identity in sobriety can be scary for many women when they stop drinking. For years I described myself as a “red wine girl” and drinking was essentially my favorite hobby. I surrounded myself with other people who loved to drink so my social life, activities, favorite places, traditions and relationships were deeply intertwined with alcohol. When I stopped drinking I didn’t know what I enjoyed without drinking. Maz Compton, host of the Last Drinks podcast and I are here to dig into how to find your identity in sobriety. Maz knew she had a problem with alcohol when she couldn’t stop saying yes to it, despite having a high-powered career and success in all the externally visible areas of her life. Once she stopped drinking Maz had to figure out who she was, her interests and identity without alcohol.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Hello Sunday podcast, the podcast for busy women who are ready to drink less and live more.
0:10.2	I'm Casey McGuire Davidson, ex-red wine girl turned life coach, helping women create lives they love without alcohol.
0:18.4	But it wasn't that long ago that I was anxious, overwhelmed, and drinking a bottle
0:23.1	of wine a night to unwind. I thought that wine was the glue, holding my life together,
0:28.6	helping me cope with my kids, my stressful job, and my busy life. I didn't realize that my love
0:35.0	affair with drinking was making me more anxious and less able to manage
0:39.5	my responsibilities. In this podcast, my goal is to teach you the tried and true secrets of creating
0:46.5	and living a life you don't want to escape from. Each week, I'll bring you tools, lessons,
0:52.8	and conversations to help you drink less and live more.

1:12.6	worst-case scenario to the best decision of your life. I am so glad you're here. Now, let's get
1:19.2	started. Hey, it's Casey. If you've been thinking about taking a break from drinking, but keep
1:26.7	pushing it off, this is your sign
1:29.7	to do something different. I know what it's like to wake up again thinking, why did I drink last
1:35.9	night? I wasn't even planning to. Or to tell yourself, I'll take a break next week or after that
1:42.7	next big event or maybe next month.
1:45.1	But here's the thing.
1:47.0	Waiting doesn't make it easier.
1:50.0	What does?
