"You don't wait until you want to stop drinking because it'll never happen because it hijacks your brain so much."
In this enlightening episode, host Mike Bloom welcomes Casey McGuire Davidson, a sober coach and the host of the 'Hello Someday' podcast. Casey shares her compelling journey to sobriety, a path that began with casual drinking and eventually led to a pivotal realization that alcohol was adversely affecting her mental health and overall quality of life.
Despite having a successful career, a loving family, and a seemingly perfect life, Casey found herself trapped in a cycle of alcohol dependency that was holding her back from living her fullest life. She candidly discusses the progressive nature of her drinking habits and how, over time, what started as a fun activity became a detrimental part of her daily routine.
Casey's story is not one of hitting rock bottom but rather recognizing the 'gray area' she was in and making a conscious decision to change. Her journey underscores the importance of acknowledging the impact of alcohol on mental health and the necessity of seeking help when needed. Casey highlights the challenges of finding the right therapist, emphasizing how mental health care should be accessible and affordable.
She introduces RULA, a service that connects individuals with therapists and psychiatrists and works with over 100 insurance plans to offer affordable therapy options. Throughout the conversation, Casey reflects on how sobriety has transformed her life, leading to improved mental health, greater happiness, and a stronger connection with her family. She shares insights into how she managed early sobriety challenges and the importance of community support, including online sober groups and hiring a sober coach.
Listeners are encouraged to embrace the possibility of an alcohol-free lifestyle and are reminded that the journey to sobriety is deeply personal and rewarding. Casey inspires many by advocating for open conversations about addiction and mental health, using her platform to support sober curious women.
