    She Got Sober. Her Husband Kept Drinking. Here's What Happened

    What happens when you decide to quit drinking, but your partner isn't ready to give up alcohol? In this episode of the No More Wasted Days podcast, I'm joined by my friend Casey McGuire Davidson, host of the Hello Someday podcast, to talk about what it's REALLY like to get sober when your spouse still drinks. Casey and her husband were drinking buddies from the very beginning of their relationship. From partying in their 20s to date nights, vacations, and eventually mommy wine culture, alcohol was always part of their marriage. So when Casey decided to quit drinking, she worried about how it would change everything. We get into the fears, resentment, boundaries, and uncomfortable conversations that come with quitting alcohol when your partner doesn't. Casey also shares why she initially hid her sobriety efforts from her husband, how she found support outside her marriage, and how they learned to enjoy date nights and vacations without alcohol being the main event. And here's the best part: Casey is now 10 years sober! If you've been putting off your alcohol-free journey because you're worried about how it might affect your marriage, this episode is for you. Because your partner doesn't have to quit drinking for you to create a life you love without alcohol.

    7 Reasons I Didn't Go to AA (And What I Got Wrong) with Stefanie Wilder-Taylor

    What if everything you thought you knew about Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) was wrong? In this episode of the No More Wasted Days Podcast, I'm joined by author and fellow sober podcaster Stefanie Wilder-Taylor, host of Drunk-ish, to talk about the seven reasons I chose NOT to go to AA when I quit drinking. From the fear of identifying as an alcoholic to the 12 steps, religion, powerlessness, and the commitment of attending meetings, Stefanie shares her firsthand experience with a 12-step program and challenges some of my biggest misconceptions. We also get into the importance of sober community, why asking for help can be so difficult, and how there is no one-size-fits-all approach to quitting drinking. Whether you're curious about AA, considering a 12-step program, or looking for alternatives to Alcoholics Anonymous, this honest and hilarious conversation is a reminder that you don't have to get sober the same way someone else did. You just have to find what works for you.
