| Why Quitting Alcohol Feels Harder Than It Should (and Real Help to Finally Stop Drinking) | 03 Oct 2025 | 00:26:02 | |
Have you ever tried to quit drinking and thought, “Why is this so hard? Shouldn’t it be easier?” You’re not alone. Quitting alcohol often feels harder than it should not because you’re weak, but because alcohol changes your brain chemistry, your coping patterns, and the way you deal with stress. In episode 244 of the Sober Vibes Podcast, I’m breaking down the real reasons quitting feels so challenging and what actually makes it easier. Whether you’re sober curious, in your first 30 days without alcohol, or stuck in the stop-start cycle, this conversation will help you see that you don’t need more willpower, you need better tools and support. What You'll Learn in this Episode:

Have you ever told yourself, “It’s just one glass, it can’t hurt”? The truth is, even small amounts of alcohol come with hidden health risks, especially for women. From cancer risk to anxiety, poor sleep, and faster aging, that nightly glass of wine costs more than you think. In episode 243 of the Sober Vibes Podcast, I’m pulling back the curtain on the silent costs of “just one glass” and why being honest about alcohol is the first step to real freedom. If you’ve been bargaining with yourself or stuck in the moderation cycle, this conversation will help you shift your sober mindset and see why quitting for good is worth it. What You'll Learn In This Episode:

| The 12-Step Guide for Skeptics w/ Arlina Allen | 17 Jul 2025 | 00:45:40 | |
Episode 233: The 12-Step Guide for Skeptics w/ Arlina Allen In episode 233 of the Sober Vibes podcast, Courtney welcomes back Arlina Allen to the show, and they discuss her new book, The 12-Step Guide for Skeptics. The 12-Step Guide for Skeptics breaks down the most common myths and misconceptions that cause people to resist 12-step programs, offering a compassionate, clear-eyed reframe of terms like “powerless,” “God,” and “alcoholic.” You’ll hear how she redefines these concepts to support recovery instead of scaring people away, and why just attending meetings isn’t the same as actually doing the steps. With her trademark honesty and no-BS approach, Arlina also opens up about the shame she felt at 20 years sober and how recovery continues to evolve long after quitting drinking. Whether you’re sober-curious, stuck in the moderation cycle, or frustrated with traditional recovery language, this episode will give you permission to take what works, leave what doesn’t, and reclaim your sobriety your way.

| Emotional Sobriety: Why You Still Feel Off After Quitting Alcohol | 03 Jul 2025 | 00:28:35 | |
Episode 231: Emotional Sobriety: Why You Still Feel Off After Quitting Alcohol In episode 231 of the Sober Vibes podcast, Courtney Andersen discusses emotional sobriety. She is digging deep into emotional sobriety, the unspoken part of recovery that no one really prepares you for. You’ll learn what emotional sobriety is, why it matters, and how to tell if you're in that “messy middle” where you’ve removed the alcohol… but your nervous system still doesn’t feel safe. Courtney Andersen, sober coach and emotional sobriety mentor with 12 years of lived experience, shares her personal story of what came after sobriety, the panic attacks, the shame spirals, and the emotional unraveling that no one warned her about. If you’re wondering why you don’t feel better yet, why your triggers are louder now, or how to stop spiraling without going back to numbing… this episode will feel like a breath of fresh air. What's Discussed:
