Summary

Parenting young children can be wonderful, fulfilling, frustrating and exhausting. People will tell you “the days are long but the years are short”, but when you’ve got a toddler melting down at the end of the day it’s easy to want to escape by opening a bottle of wine. Wine mom culture exists because being a mom is hard. For a lot of us pouring a big glass of wine is the “easy button” to numb out from overwhelming situations and responsibilities. I got into the habit of drinking to reward myself for getting through the day, to transition from work to home and to shut down once the kids go to bed before doing it all again. But since alcohol is easy to get, highly addictive and embedded in our culture it’s not difficult for a glass of wine to turn into a bottle. Parenting is hard, but alcohol isn’t the answer.

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
0:39.2	manage my responsibilities. In this podcast, my goal is to teach you the tried and true secrets
0:45.5	of creating and living a life you don't want to escape from. Each week, I'll bring you tools,

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.
