An Ultimatum to Stop Drinking
Show notes
Where Are They Now? | EP 946
"I had to pick one life or the other." That's how Sabrina describes the ultimatum to stop drinking her husband gave her two years ago. Sabrina is back to catch up with Hayley and explore what happens in that time between learning to live alcohol-free and truly living an alcohol-free life. Her key takeaway for other moms? Quitting doesn't clear out the mental space alcohol used to take up all on its own, you have to notice what's still empty and actually fill it, on purpose.
Sabrina and Coach Hayley discuss:
Why the ultimatum wasn't actually the hardest part, and what came after it was
What "mental real estate" means once alcohol stops taking up space in your head
What finally convinced Sabrina to give up marijuana completely
How villainizing alcohol, instead of herself, rewrote the story she tells about her past
What it's like watching four daughters grow up without ever seeing their mom drunk
And more on letting one person all the way in, and what it really means to find your own path to alcohol freedom…
