The Hello Someday Podcast for Sober Curious Women is a resource for anyone debating their relationship with alcohol. Host Casey Davidson is a sober coach who lives a happier life without her nightly bottle of red wine. She supports people who want to drink less. Casey thought wine helped her cope with her stressful life. It made things worse. Through years of research and coaching sessions, she refined her method. Casey helps others recover even faster than she did. She shares tips she wishes she had when she decided to quit. Casey invites sobriety experts, including Bex Weller and Karolina Rzadkowolska, for their insights.
Hello Someday normalizes sobriety. Casey says society glamorizes drinking. She respects the choice to identify as an alcoholic, but she dislikes the word. It suggests the person is the problem rather than the substance. People who quit smoking don't call themselves "nicotine-aholics." Everyone supports quitting smoking, but there's often pressure to keep drinking. Casey cites studies that equate one bottle of wine to ten cigarettes. Some people have a genetic predisposition to addiction. So, Casey prefers the phrase “alcohol use disorder.”
The podcast is applicable and supportive. Listeners learn alternative coping strategies and the best non-alcoholic drinks. Casey explains what alcohol does to the body and why it's hard for some people to stop. She loved wine so much that she was afraid to give it up. Casey didn't know anyone else who didn't drink. So, she offers advice for sober social events. Casey changed careers twice and tried boot camps, 10Ks, and therapy. She went to AA for four months. Those didn't work for her. What helped Casey most was research and her life coach. So, she became one herself.
Listeners who need inspiration to quit might find it in episode 188. Casey's nine-year-old daughter, Lila, talks about her mom's sobriety. Quitting an addictive substance requires more than willpower. This show might help. However, it's not a substitute for professional advice. New episodes of The Hello Someday Podcast for Sober Curious Women arrive on Thursdays.
