People often ask me, “How do you stay sober when life gets stressful?”

And my answer is always the same: I don’t just work on staying sober—I work on managing stress and anxiety every single day.

Because here’s the truth: Your brain doesn’t actually want alcohol—it wants relief.

When you’re overwhelmed, exhausted, or anxious, your first instinct is to reach for something that changes how you feel. And if alcohol has been your go-to coping mechanism for years, of course your brain still thinks that’s the solution.

You might be here because:

• 
  
• 
  

  You still crave alcohol when stress hits, and it frustrates you.

  
  
  
• 
  

  You’re white-knuckling your sobriety and it still feels like a constant battle.

  
  
  
• 
  

  You’re overwhelmed and just want simple, doable ways to actually feel better.

  
  
  

No matter where you are, you’re in the right place.

In this episode, I’m sharing the real strategy that helps you:

✅ Reduce alcohol cravings
✅ Build emotional strength
✅ Stay sober even when life feels hard
✅ Stop using alcohol as your only stress relief

This is the heart of emotional sobriety—managing stress before it manages you.
