Ep. 126: Why You Use Alcohol to Cope (and What to Do Instead)

Ready for a reset? The PUSH to 100 alcohol-free challenge starts September 12, and only 30 people will be accepted. Get on the waiting list now for first dibs when applications open: nomorewasteddays.co/100waitinglist You are not broken. You’re just numbing. In this shorty episode, Sara is back from summer break to remind you of something powerful: your coping mechanisms aren't failures—they're adaptations. Whether it's alcohol, THC, sugar, screens, or scrolling, the urge to numb is part of being human. But there is another way. Sara walks you through:

The many faces of numbing (it’s not just alcohol, think weed, sugar, binge-scrolling)
Why numbing is a signal, not a personal flaw
Her own story of numbing with wine after long days of teaching and what changed
The key question that can help you shift in the moment: “What do I actually need right now?”
Tiny, doable swaps to soothe your nervous system and reconnect with yourself
How to build self-trust over shame

If you’ve ever wondered why you keep reaching for the thing, even when you don’t want to anymore, this episode will help you recognize the deeper need underneath and respond with compassion. You don’t need more willpower. You need more awareness and kindness. Let this episode be your first step toward both. 💥 Join the PUSH to 100 waiting list today!
