How to Quit Drinking as a Mom

from This Naked Mind Podcast Hosted by Annie Grace

Six years ago, Payal looked in the mirror the morning after a blackout and finally had enough of herself. She's back on Where Are They Now to talk about how to quit drinking as a mom when mommy wine culture makes it feel normal, and what six years actually built: a dad and two sisters who gave up alcohol right along with her, and two boys who have never once seen their mom drunk. Payal and Coach Hayley discuss: Growing up believing a drink was the only way to build real confidence, and what she knows now that she didn't then The four-pack of small wine bottles hidden at the bottom of the trash, and the mommy wine culture that made it feel normal Why she could never just have one, and the single therapist conversation that finally connected the dots What it actually looks like to quit drinking as a mom when your spouse still drinks Learning how to have fun without alcohol again, after believing for years it wasn't possible And more on the "playing the tape forward" trick she still uses today, and finding your own path to alcohol freedom… Ready to take the next step?
