Casey's work helped me make the decision to quit and I asked her to share information many of us don't know and how to embark on an alcohol-free life in a culture that glamorizes and celebrates drinking. If this is an area you've been meaning to explore, or even if you're rolling your eyes thinking, "who in the world quits drinking?!"...this is your episode. It'll help you completely reframe how you think about alcohol's role in your life, how it may be impacting your emotional regulation, and how this important change can be a big step in role-modeling healthy behavior and coping skills for your children.EPISODE RESOURCES:Casey’s free guides Hello Someday podcast episode with William Porter - Alcohol ExplainedHello Someday podcast episode with Gill Tietz - What You Don’t Know About Alcohol and Your BodyThe Sober Diaries: How one woman stopped drinking and started livingQuit Like a Woman: The Radical Choice to Not Drink in a Culture Obsessed with Alcohol (Whitaker)This Naked Mind, Control Alcohol, Find Freedom, Discover Happiness, and Change Your Life (Grace)This podcast is part of a nonprofit called Hopestream CommunityLearn about The Stream, our private online community for momsFind us on Instagram hereWatch the podcast on YouTube hereDownload a free e-book, Worried Sick: A Compassionate Guide For Parents When Your Teen or Young Adult Child Misuses Drugs and AlcoholHopestream Community is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and an Amazon Associate.
