Sleep, 'Closed for Repairs' Recovery

Escaping The Hamster Wheel of Drinking | Alcohol Freedom Coaching | E847

Why can’t I quit drinking after so many tries? It’s a question so many of us have asked, and in this episode, Leslie and Phillipa open up about their long journeys of stopping, starting, and struggling with alcohol. Joined by Coach Zoe, they pull back the curtain on the ups, downs, and lessons they’ve faced along the way. You’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at the powerful coaching and support available inside The Path and how curiosity, compassion, and courage create lasting change.

In Leslie’s session:

Starting The Path three times and learning from each attempt

Using the mantra “burn the boats” to stop self-sabotage

Managing urges during writing groups and evening routines

Facing fear of relapse and suddenly finding a bottle in her hand

Building awareness of patterns that lead to survival brain drinking

How Path coaching gave her new tools to stay free

And more topics…

In Phillipa’s session:

Coming from a scarcity mindset and always finishing what’s in front of her

Struggling with cravings that feel like a “hamster wheel” of misery and relief

Why moderation isn’t an option and how she learned that the hard way

Feeling like a “fraud” because her life looks good on the outside

Discovering joy, contentment, and peace after months alcohol-free

Asking herself: why can’t I quit drinking after so many tries — and finally finding support that works inside The Path

And much more…
