What’s your goal when it comes to drinking?   Does it go something like this-   “I want to drink less.”  “My goal is to just drink on weekends.”  “I don’t want to drink alone at home anymore.”  “My goal is to quit.”   Take a minute to think about that goal.  Close your eyes. Repeat the goal to […]

I know I often ask the question here, “why are you drinking” and I have found it so interesting to look at my own timeline of reasons why I drank. I also spend time with each of my clients discussing how the reasons for their drinking has changed over time. In most cases, with each […]

What are you waiting for? (No, but seriously.) I want to ask you FOR REAL- what are you waiting for to take a break from drinking? Are you waiting for your drinking to get worse? Are you waiting for a rock-bottom type moment where you think you’ll find clarity because then, hey, then you’ll NEED […]

Yesterday I went to Universal Studios with the children, some of their friends, and some of my family. It was a Saturday, spring break, plus it feels like people are making up for lost time from being locked down for two years and ready to be OUT! It was packed. The children were hyped up […]

“I want to take a break from drinking, because I don’t want to go back to black out town” said one of my gorgeous clients to me recently. It’s one of the reasons I hear a lot from women I am coaching. Blackouts don’t just happen during college, they happen even to moms like us, […]

If you’ve been trying to stay alcohol-free for a bit, and then you end up having a drink I want you to take a deep breath and read on. First of all, we don’t even call these instances a “slip-up” in my program. Let me explain. Along my own journey I have learned that no […]
