Summary

In early sobriety, sober treats are important, not an indulgence. Don’t underestimate their power, because sober treats are essential to helping you both stop drinking and keep going once willpower runs out and motivation fades When you’re walking away from drinking you need your time without alcohol to feel rewarding and kind - not like a punishment or deprivation. And most of all you need sober treats because you’ve been stuck in a “reward rut” for way too long. After decades of 'adulting' often our universe of rewards and pleasure options have shrunk to the equivalent of ‘bars and bakeries’ (alcohol and sugar). Hard day? Wine. Promotion at work? Wine. Friday night date? Wine. Kids being hard? Wine. A few hours to yourself? Wine. Anxious? Overwhelmed? Lonely? Wine. You deserve more. Sober treats will open your imagination and help you find and enjoy new sources of pleasure and comfort. Today, I am diving into how to quit drinking without deprivation or relying on willpower by using sober treats.

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 my
0:39.7	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,
0:52.5	and conversations to help you drink less and live more.
0:56.6	I'll teach you how to navigate our drinking-obsessed culture without a buzz,
1:01.0	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
1:12.6	worst-case scenario to the best decision of your life. I am so glad you're here. Now, let's get

1:26.6	pushing it off, this is your
1:29.2	sign to do something different. I know what it's like to wake up again thinking, why did I drink
1:35.5	last night? I wasn't even planning to. Or to tell yourself, I'll take a break next week,
1:41.4	or after that next big event, or maybe next month. But here's the thing,
1:46.9	waiting doesn't make it easier. What does? A game plan that actually works. That's why I want you to
1:54.9	come join me in my free master class, five secrets to successfully take a break from drinking, even if you've tried and
2:03.7	failed before. In this free class, I'm going to show you why your past attempts haven't worked
2:10.0	and what to do instead. The mindset shifts you need to make this break feel doable and even exciting. And five practical steps you can start
