Struggling with seeing wine as a reward after a long day? You’re not alone. In this episode, I explore why 5pm often signals a time for a drink and how alcohol has become a reward we feel we’ve earned. I cover top strategies to help break the alcohol reward cycle. It’s not about deprivation but rethinking what truly rewards you. Play the tape forward and consider the real impact of drinking. What else can bring you joy and fulfillment?

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.

And, if you're ever in Boise, Idaho let's meet for a real-life coffee. Thank you so much!!! 

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.
