    255 - Hypervigilance, growing up around alcoholism with Seanna Smith

    In this episode of How I Quit Alcohol, Seana Smith shares her powerful story, reflecting on a childhood marked by both an idyllic lifestyle and the unpredictability of having an alcoholic father. Growing up around alcoholism left her in a constant state of hypervigilance, never quite knowing which version of him would appear each day. From the outside, Seana’s life looked perfect: an Oxford graduate, a thriving career with the BBC and Channel 9, a bestselling author, a happy marriage, and four vibrant children. Yet behind the scenes, alcohol was quietly eroding her health, emotional well-being, and sense of self. With her engaging style and wit, Seana unveils the hidden challenges of her lifelong battle with alcohol, exploring how it impacted every aspect of her life—and ultimately, how she found the strength to change.

    252. From hiding alcohol to living in the light with Michelle from NZ

    In this episode, I chat with Michelle, a graduate of the HIQA program, who at the time of this recording is celebrating 9 months alcohol-free. Michelle shares her powerful journey of overcoming hidden drinking habits that spiralled into binge drinking. She opens up about drinking in the mornings to combat hangovers, which often led to all-day binges and passing out on the couch. Her struggle took a toll on her mental health—mood swings, depression, and lies to her husband left him worried and unsure how to help. Overwhelmed by shame and embarrassment, Michelle felt completely lost. Everything changed when she joined the HIQA Alcohol Challenge in January. Since then, she hasn’t touched a drop of alcohol. Through the program, Michelle uncovered the emotional triggers behind her drinking habits and learned how to sit with her feelings, rather than suppressing them with alcohol. In this conversation, Michelle also shares practical tools that helped her navigate cravings and how she managed moments of overwhelm during her early days of sobriety. Tune in for her inspiring story of transformation and the strategies she used to build a healthier, balanced life and becoming a well resourced adult.

    250. Free to just be yourself with Britt Mather

After hitting rock bottom, Britt took on the HIQA 6-week challenge in January 2024 and is now proudly 9 months sober. Throughout her journey, Britt learned valuable lessons about self-soothing, managing expectations, and sitting with her emotions without seeking external comfort. She also talks about setting clear, solid boundaries and the powerful process of unlearning and relearning behaviours that no longer served her. By gaining confidence, clarity, and time, Britt has been able to refocus on her business and explore exciting new ideas for the future.

    249. How to not be a dickhead with Kasey Chambers

    In this episode, I catch up with my friend Kasey Chambers to chat about her new book, Just Don't Be a D******d. We dive into the importance of tuning into your inner voice, her decision to live alcohol-free, and the art of navigating divorce with grace. We also explore how to manage people-pleasing tendencies and reclaim your personal power. Kasey's new book is packed with down-to-earth wisdom and powerful insights. It had me cracking up laughing at time, and at times had me welling up with tears. Just like Kasey the book is down to earth, powerful but also very tender. Kasey is an award-winning Australian singer-songwriter, known for her powerful storytelling and unique blend of country, folk, and rock. With numerous ARIA Awards under her belt and albums that have become staples in the Australian music scene, Kasey’s influence extends far beyond her music. Now, with her new book, she’s sharing even more of her personal journey and hard-earned wisdom with the world. I love her, I love this book... I promise you, you will too.

    248. The impact of trying to be the person everyone likes with Chris Gimpel

    In this episode, I talk with Chris Gimpel from Brisbane about his personal struggles with alcohol and how the need for acceptance fuelled a deeply problematic relationship with drinking. This conversation highlights a critical issue—many of us drink to feel accepted, and the effects on our lives, bodies, and mental health are profound. We explore the importance of getting curious about what drives our drinking, rather than succumbing to shame or embarrassment. We also talk about some important questions to ask yourself before you think about quitting alcohol. Chris (and Presley) helps others in his role as Head of Client Engagement at Clean Slate Clinic and is a compassionate advocate for destigmatising substance dependence to remove that barrier for accessing addiction treatment services. Clean Slate Clinic is a social enterprise who provides telehealth clinical support to help Australians struggling with alcohol, stimulant, or cannabis dependence to detox and recover safely from the comfort of their homes His lived experience combined with his corporate background allows him to support our clients with deep understanding and to help grow Clean Slate.  Chris is dedicated to empowering others on their recovery journeys by sharing his story of hope and the opportunity for change.
