Summary

Are you worried you won’t have fun without alcohol? Is FOMO (the fear of missing out) keeping you drinking? Can’t imagine what life would look like without happy hours? Wondering if there is (actually) life beyond the bottle? You’re not alone! My guest today is Tricia Lewis, the creator and host of the Recovery Happy Hour. She’s here to talk about the concerns a lot of women have about life without alcohol. For years Trica was emotionally and physically addicted to alcohol but was really good at making it look like she didn’t have a problem. In November 2016, she decided that balancing a life of being an entrepreneur and a high functioning alcoholic was too much to handle. She quit drinking and learned how to recover as hard as she drank without looking back. I’m a huge fan of Tricia’s podcast, The Recovery Happy Hour. The Recovery Happy Hour celebrates inspiring stories of recovery from alcohol addiction, gray area alcohol abuse and what happens AFTER you get sober.

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.
0:18.4	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,
0:52.1	lessons, 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
1:19.2	started. Hey, it's Casey. If you've been thinking about taking a break from drinking, but keep
1:26.8	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.
