Alcohol Tipping Point

The Last Episode.. For Now

Alcohol Tipping Point — Wed, 22 Jan 2025 08:01:00 +0000

After a lot of thought I’ve decided to pause the podcast and live Alcoholiday groups (just cannot bring myself to say end them, because, who knows?) It’s been a great run of 200+ podcasts and 42ish Alcoholidays (wow!!) I just celebrated my 5 years of alcohol freedom and I’m ready to focus in a different direction. What that is- I don’t know yet, but I do know I need to be part of something bigger than me and have meaningful in real life connection and community.

In this last podcast I reflect on my last 5 years of sobriety and ATP and go into more of an explanation of making this decision.

Thank you so much for listening and being part of the ATP community. I just can't express my thanks enough. I would not have kept doing this if it weren't for you all. Please remember- you are not broken and you can change.

Much love and gratitude,

Deb

How to Practice Acceptance to Change Your Drinking and Navigate Life’s Storms

Alcohol Tipping Point — Sun, 29 Sep 2024 07:09:00 +0000

In this episode, I share a presentation on the powerful concept of acceptance. Acceptance means embracing the present moment and our emotions as they are, without trying to alter them. This approach is incredibly beneficial when dealing with life’s stresses and challenges, helping us to cope without resorting to alcohol. Acceptance has been a transformative tool in my journey to change my drinking and improve my life.

This episode covers:

Common misconceptions about acceptance (it’s not passive, weak, or about giving up, but rather about facing reality with courage)
Exercises and techniques to practice acceptance
How to accept all of our emotions (even the “icky” ones) – the essential work of sitting with feelings
The role of acceptance in changing your drinking
And more!

Healing Childhood Wounds: The ACEs and PCEs Connection in Addiction with Peggi Cooney

Alcohol Tipping Point — Wed, 14 Aug 2024 07:13:00 +0000

This may be one of the most impactful podcasts I’ve done. It’s one I want to share with the whole wide world because it offers so much hope and inspiration. So please listen and share with others.

Back on the show today is Peggi Cooney. I wanted to have Peggi back to talk about the connection between childhood trauma and addiction later in life. Some of you may have heard of ACEs, or “adverse childhood experiences.” Research shows that having a score of 4 ACEs increases your chances of having an addiction problem by 700%, which is shocking. However, many people don’t know there is an antidote to ACEs (which are largely out of our control), and that is PCEs, which stands for positive childhood experiences—a term coined by Dr. Nzinga Harrison, an addiction specialist.

Peggi holds a Master’s in Social Work and has 26 years of experience in Child Welfare and Adult Protective Services. She is currently a social work instructor/coach for UC Davis and is passionate about educating people about ACEs and PCEs. She is the author of This Side of Alcohol: Random Thoughts and Candid Words of Pain, Hope, Humor and Love – and All that is Possible in Sobriety and the Chief Connections Officer for Zero Proof Experiences/Sober in the City.

We talk about:

What the 15 ACEs are and how they connect to addiction
The 7 Positive Childhood Experiences
How PCEs can help overcome ACEs
How to foster more PCEs in your adulthood
The #1 book Peggi recommends for understanding addiction
Advice about seeking therapy
And more!

Breaking the Drinking Habit: Mindful Strategies to Break the Cycle of Autopilot

Alcohol Tipping Point — Wed, 31 Jul 2024 07:11:00 +0000

Today on the show, I’m sharing a recording from one of my mindfulness classes. This excerpt focuses on autopilot and habits, as much of our drinking is just that—a habit. It’s a habit we’ve developed, which means it’s a habit we can undo and break. Learning about habits and automatic behavior, and then discovering techniques for breaking out of that autopilot mode, can be incredibly helpful.

Listen to this ATP podcast as we hear from Samantha Lander, a Functional Diagnostics practitioner, certified personal trainer, and holistic lifestyle coach, who shares her inspiring journey from substance use to sobriety. Samantha’s passion for functional diagnostics was sparked by her own health challenges, including adrenal fatigue, food sensitivities, pathogens, leaky gut, and numerous hidden stressors. Despite maintaining a rigorous workout routine and a perfect diet, she struggled with weight issues and knew there had to be a deeper cause. She found an alternative way to heal, rebuilt her health and discovered she didn’t have to settle for feeling terrible.

Tune in if you’re sober curious, already sober, or seeking solutions for health issues that traditional medicine hasn’t resolved. If you’ve been told your labs are normal but still feel exhausted, bloated, unable to lose weight, or dealing with gut and hormone issues, this episode is for you.

As a nurse, I recommend consulting with a licensed healthcare provider before making any decisions based on this information. This content is intended for informational purposes only and should not be considered as medical advice.

We talk about:

Samantha’s story of being sober for 13 years and starting to drink again with mommy wine culture
How alcohol affects the gut
Why following a perfect diet and exercise routine isn’t always the key to weight loss (and what does help)
Best supplements and foods to heal your gut

Benefits of contrast therapy (cold plunges and sauna heat)
And more!

Damp Drinking, Dry Month, Soberish? Understanding the Different Approaches to Drink Less or Not at All

Alcohol Tipping Point — Wed, 26 Jun 2024 07:11:00 +0000

Are you doing Dry July? Confused by all the terms surrounding drinking habits—like ‘soberish,’ ‘dry,’ ‘damp,’ ‘sober curious,’ and ‘mindful drinking’? Join us as Molly Desch returns to the show to clarify these various drinking-related terms. Molly went from “balls to the wall drinking to 100% sober overnight” while I spent YEARS trying to change my drinking.

We talk about:

The definition of ‘damp drinking’ and its intended audience
Potential concerns associated with a damp or ‘soberish’ lifestyle
The advantages of damp drinking or drinking less
The importance of having supportive spaces to practice not drinking
Our personal experiences with getting sober
And more!

My personal viewpoint is we need things like Dry July and sober curiosity to raise world wide awareness to the harmful effects of alcohol.

We need safe, nonjudgemental places for people to learn about alcohol and practice not drinking, not shame them into sobriety or send them back to drinking.

Quit Drinking Quickie: Listen to This If You’re Struggling to Release Drinking, Shame, Regret, and the Past

Alcohol Tipping Point — Fri, 31 May 2024 07:07:00 +0000

In today’s episode, I'm honored to share part of an inspiring story from one of our group members, Sarah Davenport. Sarah speaks wisely about how she’s learning to love and be compassionate towards herself even when she’s not perfect. She offers a powerful analogy about transforming pain, trauma, and shame into something richer and better. (It’s a real mind-blowing, “black gold” mic drop kind of moment.) I think Sarah’s perspective is such a healthy and inspiring approach to help process and release the past. I hope you find this helps you too.

Alcohol Tipping Point — Wed, 03 Apr 2024 07:39:00 +0000

If you’ve been confused or overwhelmed with all the non-alcoholic drink options out there, listen to this podcast episode. Michelle Houston is here to help us figure out what NA drinks are out there, what they do, and how they might help you on your drinking journey.

With a pivotal decision in 2022, she intentionally quit drinking but didn’t plan on stopping forever. Nearly two years later she’s still alcohol free.

We chat about:

Why Michelle stopped drinking and started an NA beverage business

Trigger warning: If you’ve battled an eating disorder, this conversation may stir emotions. But it’s also an invitation to explore your journey with kindness and compassion.

We talk about:

How Ali found truce from food
The role of belonging and attachment in turning to alcohol and food
Why 50% of Ali’s clients are sober- the overlapping struggle between overeating and drinking

How to Sit with an Emotion and Not Drink at It

Alcohol Tipping Point — Wed, 25 Oct 2023 08:04:00 +0000

Welcome to this episode of the podcast, where I will share with you some insights on emotions and how to deal with them without drinking.

Many of us drink because we want to escape from uncomfortable emotions, such as anger or anxiety. We think that alcohol can make us feel better, but it actually numbs us and prevents us from processing our feelings in a healthy way.

In this episode, I teach you:

What emotions are
Why we have them
Where we feel them in our body
How to process an emotion using mindfulness
Using the RAIN acronym
And more!

By learning how to sit with your emotions, you will be able to cope with them in a more constructive way and reduce your need for alcohol. You will also discover more about yourself and your true needs and improve your well-being and happiness.

Q & A Episode: Marijuana, Genetics, Big Alcohol, Breaks and More

Alcohol Tipping Point — Wed, 27 Sep 2023 07:07:00 +0000

Today’s episode I answer your questions. Thank you for sending in your questions. Please continue to send in questions for future podcast episodes. You can email me directly at deb@alcoholtippingpoint.com

Your Questions Answered:

Marijuana vs. alcohol. Both addictive and harmful? Is one more addicting than the other?
Is addiction to any substance alcohol or drugs heredity?
What are strategies to push back against Big Alcohol? What can we take from the demise of Big Tobacco?
Why does one’s relationship with alcohol change over time - from fun and social to lonely and habitual?
Why does alcohol affect people differently (whereas my spouse can have 1 or 2 every few weeks no problem, I could never have just 1 and have tendency toward problem drinking)?
Is there a difference between people who get addicted to alcohol out of habit, or coping badly to a life circumstance or self-medicating due to underlying issues (like anxiety) vs the people talked about in the “Big Book,” described as having a “mental obsession combined with a physical allergy?” The people that mostly, from the start of putting alcohol in their bodies, have issue?
How long does it take a couple of glasses of wine per night drinker (no daily hangovers) to get past that desire of wanting to have it nightly? When does it get easier?
How do I take a break when I can never seem to get myself into the mindset of a fully committed?

Is Mindfulness Worth the Hype?

Alcohol Tipping Point — Wed, 16 Aug 2023 08:47:00 +0000

Is mindfulness worth the hype? Spoiler: Yes. This episode is a recording of a conversation I had with my coworker and friend Candi from our hospital’s podcast, Saint Alphonsus Wellcast. I wanted to share it with you to show you how mindfulness is not all about sitting cross-legged on a mountain, channeling your inner monk. Nope, you can totally sprinkle mindfulness into your everyday routine, no Himalayan retreat required.

When I waved goodbye to alcohol, I was left with a bunch of emotions I couldn't numb anymore. And that's where mindfulness swooped in like a superhero. It helped me cruise through life's twists and turns without drowning in my feelings. And guess what? It can do the same for you.

We chat about:

Demystifying mindfulness
How mindfulness can help manage stress and anxiety
Busting top mindfulness myths
Practical ways to incorporate mindfulness into everyday life

Want a deeper dive into using mindfulness to stop numbing out?

I'm bringing back the live Mindful AF course! This is a great opportunity to learn more about mindfulness and how it can help you manage not just your drinking but your life.

Quit Drinking Using Lessons from Ted Lasso

Alcohol Tipping Point — Wed, 28 Jun 2023 08:01:00 +0000

One of my favorite shows recently is Ted Lasso. Ted Lasso is an American football coach who moves to England to manage a struggling soccer team. He faces many challenges and critics, but he never gives up on his positive attitude and his belief in himself and others. We can learn a lot from his example and apply some of his lessons to our own journey of changing our drinking (or making any life changes.)

Lessons from Ted Lasso:

Know your why
Meet a challenge head on, but with the willingness to grow
Practice hope and optimism
Have courage, and lots of it
Let ideas come from everywhere
Embrace change
Be authentic and imperfect
Allow second chances
Be a goldfish
Believe

I hope you enjoy this episode and find some inspiration from Ted Lasso’s lessons. Remember, quitting drinking is not easy, but it is possible with the right mindset, attitude, support, and tools. And as Ted Lasso would say, “Believe.”

How to Stop Beating Yourself Up and Practice Self-Compassion when Changing Your Drinking

Alcohol Tipping Point — Wed, 31 May 2023 07:07:00 +0000

How do you get out of the shame spiral after you drink? How can you stop beating yourself up every time you drink? How can you learn to be more compassionate with yourself? I answer these questions and more in this episode of the podcast. Part of this podcast is from a course I teach called Mindful AF. One component of mindfulness is compassion. A lot of what I talk about is having self-compassion when you're changing your drinking. We cannot hate ourselves to recovery. We can't shame ourselves to recovery. It's only when we start caring for ourselves and have self-compassion when we drink that we can overcome this habit. It's more helpful to be compassionate to ourselves than to beat ourselves up.

This episode talks about:

The inner critic voice that beats us up
The purpose of the inner critic
How to stop beating yourself up
What compassion is
How to use self-compassion to change your drinking
The powerful components of self-compassion: kindness, connection, and mindfulness

Navigating Hard Changes

Alcohol Tipping Point — Wed, 29 Mar 2023 07:03:00 +0000

Today’s podcast is about managing change in your life. Let’s face it, change can suck. And change can be welcomed. Even if we want to change, the process of changing itself can be arduous.

Changing your drinking isn’t easy. Especially if you’ve identified as a drinker or a lush. How do you transition into being a nondrinker or (alcohol free badass as I like to say)?

In this episode I talk about:

My personal changes
Why change is scary
How we move through change
Ways to make change easier

The last part of the episode is a conversation I had with my besties at work on my last day. I recently left my nursing career of 19 years. By choice. I didn’t anticipate how much sorrow and loss I would feel as I closed out this chapter of my life. I’m still going through the whole grieving process of leaving my role as a nurse. Suddenly, the future seems uncertain, and that’s scary. With support and feeling all the feelings (and not numbing out) we can come out on the other side of change stronger and better.

HALT and Quit Drinking with Carlos Navarro

Alcohol Tipping Point — Wed, 25 Jan 2023 08:13:00 +0000

This was one of the most fun interviews I’ve ever done. On the show today is Carlos Navarro.

Carlos has been entertaining audiences for 22 years. He is co-host of the #1 talk show in Orlando, Fla., iHeartRadio's "Monsters in the Morning," and he's known for his scene-stealing roles in some of film and TV's biggest cultural phenomena, including "Bloodline," "The Walking Dead," and most recently, Marvel's "Hawkeye"

He has been broke, jobless, and self-destructive, drank too much, partied too hard, earned three mugshots, and landed in jail after an infamous on-stage fight in 2006 with a former radio colleague.

But Carlos turned it around in 2007 by self-motivating, doing the work on himself to be a better human, digging deeper spiritually, and yes, giving up drinking. When he changed his thinking and gave up alcohol, it became a pivotal moment in his life and career taking off.

Seven years sober, he’s now sharing the “what worked for me” practices and lessons from his “mugshot to Marvel” journey to recovery and a more fulfilled life in the hopes of uplifting others.

We chat about:

Celebrating 3 years Alcohol Free

Alcohol Tipping Point — Wed, 04 Jan 2023 08:07:00 +0000

In this special episode I reflect on my 3 years of sobriety and thought I would share some of what got me here and what keeps me here.

My last drink was January 1, 2020. (After many, many, many, starts and stops and many day ones.) The misery of those first days has faded. I share that to let you know if you're trying to change your drinking that it does get better. It really does. You really can do this, and you won't feel so terrible. You won't feel stuck in that shame spiral. You will get out of it. There is light at the end of the tunnel.

This darkness is not a dead end. It's a hallway, keep going.

I'm sharing some of my journey and hopefully it will help you too.

Sober Jam Session with Dylan Haas

Alcohol Tipping Point — Wed, 07 Dec 2022 08:21:00 +0000

This podcast has been a long time coming. Years really. I first met Dylan Haas when I started taking BodyJam dance classes at the YMCA. He was my favorite instructor, and I had a sort of adulation of him and his wife at the time. Little did I know of the private vs. public personas of both, I just thought they were super rad.

Fast forward through their personal tragedies and I rediscovered Dylan on his podcast- Fun in Sobriety. I was fascinated by hearing from people who had recovered from their drinking problems. I was still struggling with my own drinking. I wasn’t at rock bottom and seemed just like your typical wine mom on the outside. Inside though, I knew I had a problem. I didn't know many people who got sober, and I felt like my only options were AA and inpatient rehab, which I did not want to go to. I devoured Dylan’s interviews with local people in recovery. I told myself- one day, I'm going to be sober and I'm going to share my story on Dylan's podcast. I did get sober- nontraditionally and with the help of online groups and paradigm shifting nontraditional routes like Annie Grace's This Naked Mind. I got so freaking sober that now I help other people practice not drinking.

Dylan stopped doing his podcast and he dropped off my radar. A couple of months ago, I saw a flier at my daughter's counselor office. It was for a substance abuse support group hosted by Dylan! This felt like a sign to reach out to Dylan and do that podcast interview.

Please enjoy this conversation with Dylan Haas, sober dad, engineer, “comedian,” and counselor in training.

100 Questions to Change Your Drinking

Alcohol Tipping Point — Wed, 30 Mar 2022 10:35:00 +0000

I compiled a list of 100 (yes one hundred!) questions to help you change your drinking.

Too often we are focused on the problem- Do I have a drinking problem? Why can’t I stop drinking?

Ask better questions that focus on the solution- How can I make it easier to change my drinking? How can I manage my emotions without drinking?

This episode will help you ask (and answer) better questions so you can change your drinking.

You are not broken and you can change.

I’m going to go through a lot of the 100 questions (but not all) in this podcast so grab a pen and paper and save this episode.

We talk about what inspired me to launch my business during a pandemic, the concept of data vs drama when looking to change a habit, explain the effect of alcohol on the brain, what the alcohol spectrum is, and why I chose to “divorce alcohol.” We also discuss the gray space of sobriety, understanding sobriety isn’t black or white for everyone.

Finding Adventure in Recovery- Hiking the PCT

Alcohol Tipping Point — Wed, 10 Nov 2021 09:51:00 +0000

Person Irresponsible (PI for short and you’ll find out why) joins the podcast from England to share her funny and inspiring story of adventure in recovery. In her own words: “Last year, yup that one we don't talk about, I walked solo across America whilst female, fat, forty-something and in my fourth year of recovery. I was also perennially British, and had previously walked from the sofa to the fridge and back many, many times. I considered camping to be a loathsome pursuit. I came home, could barely walk, and wrote a book about my exploits entitled Everything You Ever Taught Me. It's not a drunkalogue (otherwise it'll be longer than the Encyclopedia Brittanica) but rather how I coped one step at a time, one day at a time and one ginormous bloody mountain at a time.” Enjoy this one!

The Accidental Soberista: Kate Gunn

Alcohol Tipping Point — Wed, 22 Sep 2021 10:24:00 +0000

Interview with Irish author Kate Gunn. I was super fortunate to have a newish quit lit book drop in my lap all the way from Ireland. It's called The Accidental Soberista written by Irish author Kate Gunn. Kate tells her story of going from HATING Dry January (she even wrote an article about it) to experimenting with another dry month after seeing her brother transform his life just by giving up the drink. She was just like any good Irish gal and loved her Guinness, had times she overdid it, and would have happily continued drinking if not for dipping her toe in the dry life again to support her partner doing a 30-Day challenge. This time was different for her, and she started to see all the unexpected bliss of an alcohol-free life. Something switched along the way and she started to really feel better and notice all aspects of her life improved without alcohol. Enjoy our podcast conversation and read the book if you love funny, refreshing, and feel good stories of transformation.
