In this episode of Alcohol Tipping Point, Deb Mazner offers a refreshing perspective on sobriety that might just change the way you think about your relationship with alcohol. Deb, a registered nurse and health coach, introduces the idea of 'dating sobriety' instead of committing to it outright. She acknowledges the common fear of letting go of alcohol and proposes a gentler approach – trying out sobriety in different settings and seeing how it feels before making any long-term decisions.
This episode is part of her 'Quit Drinking Quickie' series, designed to provide quick insights and tools for living an alcohol-free life. Deb shares her own journey and explains how thinking about sobriety as a relationship can help ease the transition. She compares the stages of breaking up with alcohol to the stages of grief, highlighting how normal it is to feel anger, sadness, and even denial.
Her analogy of dating sobriety – taking it to events, holidays, and everyday activities – makes the process feel less daunting and more manageable. Throughout the episode, Deb emphasises the importance of progress over perfection. She encourages listeners to be kind to themselves and to view each day without alcohol as a step forward. Her compassionate and humorous approach makes the topic accessible and relatable, whether you're sober curious or looking to quit drinking for good.
This episode is a must-listen if you're seeking a new way to think about sobriety. Deb's insights and practical advice offer a supportive and non-judgmental space for anyone on their journey to an alcohol-free life. Why not give sobriety a 'date' and see where it takes you?
