The Hidden Struggle with Alcohol After Weight Loss Surgery: How Ruby Williams Found Freedom from Food and Booze

The Hidden Struggle with Alcohol After Weight Loss Surgery: How Ruby Williams Found Freedom from Food and Booze

Ruby Williams is a certified Alcohol Freedom Coach and owner of Freedom Renegade Coaching. She helps women after weight loss surgery or those struggling with disordered eating and drinking to break free from alcohol addiction. Living in Northern California wine country, she drank daily to cope with a stressful corporate job in the alcohol industry and the challenges of single motherhood. After weight-loss surgery, her food addiction transferred to alcohol use disorder. Now, five years alcohol-free, she combines personal experience, self-compassion, and evidence-based strategies to empower others. As co-host of the Feel Lit Alcohol-Free Podcast and co-author of Overcoming Mediocrity Epic Women, she is dedicated to helping women achieve lasting freedom from alcohol.

We chat about:

  • Ruby's journey with weight, food, and drinking
  • What it was like growing up and working in the wine business in California
  • Developing a drinking problem after weight loss surgery
  • Ruby’s advice for someone struggling with food and drinking
  • How some of the wine industry is responding to the sober curious movement (hint- they're scared)
  • And more!
