How to Practice Acceptance to Change Your Drinking and Navigate Life’s Storms 29 Sep 202400:47:02

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.

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 14 Aug 202400:51:25

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 31 Jul 202400:26:23

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.

Healing the Body and Gut After Alcohol: Alternative Methods with Samantha Lander 24 Jul 202400:58:46

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.  

Disclaimer: The information provided in this podcast includes alternative methods and concepts such as food sensitivity tests, and leaky gut, which are not universally endorsed by the medical community. 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 
  • Tips for managing sugar and drinking cravings 
  • 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 26 Jun 202400:37:30

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 31 May 202400:19:11

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.
