Summary

What are your first 30 days without alcohol like? What parts are hard and when do you start feeling good? Here's my diary of my first 30 days sober, which turned into 6 years alcohol-free. Tomorrow, February 18, I am hitting 6 years alcohol-free! I can’t believe I haven’t had a sip of alcohol but it's also just another day because not drinking isn't hard anymore. It's the way I live my life. It's my new normal. And it has actually been that way for a long time. The truth is, without alcohol I have met some of the most incredible people and I have had some amazing experiences. It's made me more grounded, more content, less anxious, more brave and more secure in my life. I thought I'd share with you my side of my story through the emails I wrote Belle because I want you to hear the shaky early days of what turned into six years alcohol-free. And at the time, I didn't think I could make it 100 days without drinking.

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
0:22.9	bottle 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
1:26.7	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.
1:50.0	What does?
1:51.1	A game plan that actually works.
