In this episode of The Addicted Mind Podcast, Duane Osterlind sits down with Casey Davidson, a former red wine enthusiast turned sobriety coach. Casey shares her journey from 'gray area drinking' to embracing a sober curious lifestyle, offering a fresh perspective on how women can redefine their relationship with alcohol. Casey candidly discusses her experiences, revealing how she once balanced a high-powered career with nightly wine sessions, all while feeling the internal struggle of knowing something wasn't quite right.
Through humour and honesty, she sheds light on the societal pressures and personal fears that keep many women silent about their drinking habits. Casey explains the concept of gray area drinking, describing it as a spectrum where individuals drink more than the recommended moderate amount but don't meet the criteria for alcohol dependence. This grey zone often leaves women feeling trapped between enjoying social drinks and facing the stigma of 'having a problem'.
By sharing her own story, Casey hopes to inspire others to explore life without alcohol, even if just for a short period. You'll hear about Casey's pivotal moment when she realised that alcohol was more of a hindrance than a help, leading her to seek support and eventually quit drinking. Her approach is about experimenting with sobriety in a way that feels manageable and empowering, without the labels and shame often associated with quitting alcohol.
Casey's message is clear: you deserve to experience life without alcohol and find out what truly makes you happy. So, why not give it a try? You might just discover that life on the sober side is brighter than you ever imagined.
