My 6 reasons to ditch alcohol for at least a month
from The Doula Johanna Podcast: Keeping Death Close. Living More Fully. · host Johanna Canady
This episode is deeply personal. I’ve used alcohol as a crutch many times—whether to unwind after a long day or to feel more comfortable in social situations. I also lost my favorite uncle to addiction, a man I loved deeply and who taught me hard truths about how alcohol can take over our lives. That loss, and my own journey of reflection, led me to explore what life feels like without alcohol—and the results amazed me. In this episode, I share how giving up alcohol for longer periods of time opened a new depth in my relationships, enhanced my emotional clarity, and helped me reconnect with myself. This isn’t about rules or guilt—it’s about being your own life doula, giving yourself a break from intoxication, and letting your body, mind, and spirit truly thrive. If you’ve ever wondered what sobriety might bring to your life, join me for this heartfelt conversation.
