Summary

If you’re an introvert it's likely you’ve used alcohol in social situations to ease anxiety, be more outgoing and cope with large gatherings. So what do you do when you stop drinking? Most introverts gain energy from solitude and quiet and enjoy interacting one on one or with smaller groups. Parties and lots of social interactions can feel draining for introverts, and it’s common to use “liquid courage” to feel more at ease in uncomfortable social situations. If you’re an introvert socializing in a world without alcohol it can be challenging to figure out how to attend parties and business functions, spend time with extended family and interact with other parents at sports games without feeling completely drained or socially awkward. So I asked my friend Meredith Hackwith Edwards, host of the podcast Meredith for Real: The Curious Introvert, to share her tips for surviving and thriving as an introvert in a world that can feel made for extroverts. 3 Ways I Can Support You In Drinking Less + Living More Join The Sobriety Starter Kit, the only sober coaching course designed specifically for busy women.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Hello Sunday podcast, the podcast for busy women who are ready to drink less and live more.
0:10.3	I'm Casey McGuire Davidson, ex-red wine girl turned life coach, helping women create lives they love without alcohol.
0:18.5	But it wasn't that long ago that I was anxious, overwhelmed, and drinking a bottle of
0:23.3	wine a night to unwind. I thought that wine was the glue holding my life together, helping me
0:29.0	cope with my kids, my stressful job, and my busy life. I didn't realize that my love affair with
0:35.6	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
0:45.6	of creating and living a life you don't want to escape from. Each week, I'll bring you tools,
0:52.2	lessons, and conversations to help you drink less and live more.
0:56.7	I'll teach you how to navigate our drinking-obsessed culture without a buzz, how to sit with your emotions when you're lonely or angry, frustrated, or overwhelmed.
1:06.9	How to self-soothe without a drink, and how to turn the decision to stop drinking from your
1:12.7	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
1:27.0	pushing it off, this is your
1:29.6	sign to do something different. I know what it's like to wake up again thinking, why did I drink
1:35.9	last night? I wasn't even planning to. Or to tell yourself, I'll take a break next week or after that
1:43.0	next big event or maybe next month.
1:45.4	But here's the thing.
1:47.3	Waiting doesn't make it easier.
1:50.3	What does?
1:51.4	A game plan that actually works.
1:54.2	That's why I want you to come join me in my free master class,
