In this episode of Stop Over-Drinking and Start Living, my client Dorrie joins me to share her journey of changing her relationship with alcohol and learning how to cope with life without numbing.
What finally led Dorrie to seek help wasn’t just about drinking — it was about the emotional pain she was carrying around a family situation and how alcohol had become her way of coping, escaping, and getting through it.
In our conversation, she shares:
• What her drinking looked like before
• The moment she realized she needed support
• How she learned to process her feelings instead of numbing them
• What actually worked to help her stop over-drinking
• And where she is now — drinking very little and often choosing long stretches without alcohol
Dorrie’s story is a powerful example of what’s possible when you stop trying to “figure it out” alone and invest in support that helps you understand your emotions, patterns, and urges in a new way.
This episode is for women who are:
• Using alcohol to cope with stress or emotional pain
• Trying to cut back or take a break from drinking
• Sober curious and exploring an alcohol-free life
• Wondering if change is possible without shame, labels, or rigid rules
