    123: {SOLO} 30 Days Alcohol-Free: What I Learned & Where I Landed

    In this solo episode, I share a vulnerable and very real update on where I currently am with alcohol, how my habits have evolved over the years, and what I learned from taking a recent 30-day break. If you’ve ever questioned your own relationship with drinking, struggled with moderation, or felt the “mental noise” around alcohol, this conversation is for you. I revisit patterns from high school and college, motherhood triggers, the stories I’ve told myself about drinking, and the eye-opening experience of going alcohol-free for a month, including the neuroscience behind cravings, dopamine dips, and why the process felt so emotional. I also discuss the role of consciousness, thoughts, and deliberate living in reshaping habits, and how this experience helped me prove to myself that I can do hard things. In This Episode, I Talk About: How my relationship with alcohol has evolved over the past 20 years Drinking in high school and college and why those early patterns stuck How motherhood, overstimulation, and boredom played into evening wine habits The moment that pushed me to take a 30-day break What happened in those 30 days — including the dopamine dip around days 10–14 The neuroscience behind cravings and dopamine regulation How to handle cravings by separating the thought from the sensation Deliberate living vs. default living (and why thoughts matter more than we realize) The stories we tell ourselves about alcohol — and why many aren't true How nervous system overwhelm contributes to wanting to drink The small lifestyle shifts (like hiring babysitters!) that changed everything Healthy dopamine habits I used to replace wine Why vulnerability and accountability helped me finish the 30 days What I’ll be carrying forward now that the 30-day break is over Resources & Links Mentioned My first alcohol episode — Episode 74 Mallory Andrews episode — Episode 121 Soberish Mom (Katie) on Instagram Sunnyside App (for tracking alcohol + soberish challenges) Reframe App (for alcohol education + habit change) My book: Counting Colors Book: Loving What Is by Byron Katie
