Mindfully Sober: Your Program to Explore, Moderate or Quit Alcohol

24/10/2025

Addiction is the opposite of awareness. - Tommy Rosen
Addiction is the opposite of connection. - Johann Hari

Two truths that overlap.

When we’re disconnected from ourselves, from others, or even from what we really need, unhealthy habits and coping mechanisms can take over.

And when we’re running on autopilot, we don’t even notice when those habits start running us.

Wellbeing begins with connection and awareness, that means with hopping off autopilot, noticing what we feel, what we need, and what we reach for to fill the gaps.

Maybe recovery isn’t about giving something up.
Maybe it’s about finding your way back to yourself.

(note: Both quotes were paraphrased for this post)

Alcohol Disguised as Self-Care: When Does It Stop Helping?

I often hear that a glass of wine helps unwind, connect, or take the edge off.. but what happens when that “self-care” becomes an illusion, and it starts taking more than it gives?

Not all addictions look the same. Some are socially accepted, even celebrated - like alcohol. But an addiction doesn’t have to be extreme to have an impact. If it’s something we rely on to feel okay, to get through certain situations, or to reward ourselves, it might be worth asking what’s underneath that need, and if there's another way to solve the discomfort.

When we have a "little drink" every day, and we feel the gap when we skip a day, it may be time to explore our relationship with this coping mechanism. It's not for everyone, but you will know when you are ready for this.

Experimenting with mindset is just about curiosity.
What else could you do to take the edge off? To create that transition into the weekend? To celebrate?
What could help and feel like true self-care?

Most people think quitting or cutting back on alcohol takes crazy willpower.
Not true. It’s not about discipline, it’s about understanding yourself and making small, smart shifts that work with your brain, not against it.

✨ Snapshot of what you’ll discover this episode:
• Why education (not willpower) is the real foundation for change
• How self-awareness can turn urges into insights
• The simple mindset shift that makes better choices feel effortless

It’s less about what you’re leaving behind, and more about what you’re building instead.

🚨 New Mindfully Sober episode out!

This time I sat down with the gorgeous and inspiring Claire Riley —content creator, marketing expert, coach, author, and now 9 months alcohol-free. Her story is powerful, because she wasn’t in crisis; she simply decided she’d had enough of wine o’clock and wanted more for herself.

You will love her candid and smart way to challenge herself into quitting drinking in a way that worked for her - without pressure, and without falling into the perfectionistic trap.

📌 Snapshot into what we discussed:
- The simple but game-changing act of choosing a quit date.
- The hidden fear behind not drinking (and how to overcome it).
- Why younger generations might be shaping an alcohol-free culture.

I'm sure you will love this interview as much as I did!
