Regular Drinkers Don't Exist

Learning how to stop feeling left out when you quit drinking starts, for Brenda, with a very specific list: people who can supposedly drink like it's nothing and never seem to pay for it. Kate's experience looks different: a friend in recovery who stopped getting invited to things, and a dinner this weekend she's already rehearsing lines for. Listen as our coaches help Brenda and Kate separate fact from fiction and learn why regular drinkers don’t exist. 

Brenda discusses:

Why "regular drinkers" turned out to be a myth she was ready to test

A "party with a price tag," and what that persona actually cost her

Three years in a weight loss program, and the math she'd never done

The two rooms Coach Zoe asks her to choose between, and which one she picks

Kate discusses:

Why she'd rather say "I'm taking a break" than let anyone use the word "problem"

The word "stigma," and why it fits alcohol in a way it never fit quitting smoking

The specific tactics for a dinner, a band, and zero big announcements

The two truths Coach Hayley asks her to hold at the same time

And more from both guests…
