The 30-Day Alcohol-Free Break That Never Ended: Jaime's Story

The 30-Day Alcohol-Free Break That Never Ended: Jaime's Story

Want to quit drinking, but only for 30 days? Jaime Andersen tried that on July 5, 2022. She's been alcohol-free ever since.

This one's for the sober curious, the weekend binge drinkers who "aren't that bad," and every mom who wonders if her kids notice. They do.

In this conversation:

  • How a 30-day break turned into quitting drinking for good
  • Binge drinking and the all-or-nothing brain
  • Hiding beer cans on a 40th birthday trip
  • Picking the brewery over a sick kid
  • Getting sober when your partner still drinks
  • Growing up with a parent who drank, then choosing sobriety together as adults
  • How to get through the first 30 days without alcohol

If you've ever typed "am I drinking too much" into your phone at 2am, start here. You don't need a rock bottom. Curiosity is enough.
