Summary

In this special anniversary episode, I’m celebrating four incredible years of the Hello Someday Podcast, marked by 214 episodes and 1.5 million downloads. It's been an amazing journey, and I'm deeply grateful to each and every one of you who has joined me along the way. To mark this occasion, I'm thrilled to revisit my top guest interview of all time: my conversation with Holly Whitaker, author of The New York Times best-selling book Quit Like A Woman, The Radical Choice To Not Drink In A Culture Obsessed with Alcohol. Holly's book holds a special place in my heart as she was a big part of my own sobriety journey. In this episode Holly and I talk about the role of alcohol in society and its impact on women, why to embrace the trial-and-error nature of quitting drinking and why phrases like "Never Question the Decision" (NQTD) can serve as powerful mantras on the journey to sobriety. We also dive into how much the recovery movement has shifted in the last 10 years as more women are speaking out about their decision to stop drinking. Quit Like A Woman has been described as a groundbreaking look at drinking culture and a road map to cutting out alcohol that will change the way you look at drinking forever. I know you’re going to love this conversation with Holly.

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
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
0:35.1	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,
0:52.1	lessons, and conversations to help you drink less and live more.

1:21.0	Hey, it's Casey. If you've been thinking about taking a break from drinking, but keep pushing it off, this is your
1:29.4	sign to do something different.
1:31.7	I know what it's like to wake up again thinking, why did I drink last night?
1:36.3	I wasn't even planning to.
1:38.3	Or to tell yourself, I'll take a break next week or after that next big event or maybe next month.
1:45.2	But here's the thing.
1:47.1	Waiting doesn't make it easier.
1:50.1	What does?
1:51.2	A game plan that actually works.
