Peggi Cooney: Finding Freedom on This Side of Alcohol

I think the most important thing, um, kind of my north star, is paying it forward.
In this episode of Decidedly Dry, Jess Steitzer sits down with Peggi Cooney, a social work instructor and passionate sobriety advocate. Peggi's journey is a powerful reminder that it's never too late to change your relationship with alcohol. With a background in social work spanning over 16 years, Peggi's drinking problem didn't surface until her fifties, a revelation that many might find relatable and eye-opening.
Peggi opens up about the role shame played in her addiction and how she found solace and strength through tools like meditation and breathing exercises. Her story isn't just about quitting alcohol; it's about reclaiming life and finding peace on the other side. She delves into the science behind addiction and shares the myriad benefits she's experienced since embracing sobriety, such as reduced anxiety and stress. But Peggi's journey doesn't stop at her own recovery.
She's dedicated to paying it forward, using her platform to support others who are sober curious or already on their own path to sobriety. Her story is filled with hope, resilience, and practical advice that can inspire anyone looking to make a positive change. Whether you're questioning your own drinking habits or seeking encouragement on your sobriety journey, Peggi's insights offer a beacon of hope.
Tune in to hear her candid conversation with Jess, and discover how sobriety can lead to a more fulfilling and vibrant life.
