    It’s Not About the Alcohol

    Would you like to reduce your alcohol consumption by about 80 percent? Become the version of you who can just “take it or leave it” so that you can enjoy drinking socially without relying on alcohol to manage your stress, anxiety, loneliness and boredom when you’re by yourself?

    Most high achieving women assume over-drinking is caused by a lack of willpower–or worse, the incurable disease of “alcoholism.” So they beat themselves up and avoid asking for help because they feel ashamed and out of control.

    Whether you’re a daily drinker who can’t break the habit, or you’re still going to sobriety meetings even though you don’t drink anymore, the real problem is that you don’t trust yourself.

    Which means it’s not about the alcohol. It’s about your relationship with yourself.

    Colleen Freeland is a a mindful drinking coach helping professional women learn how drinking less (or not at all) is actually a superpower, even when the idea of giving up the only thing that helps them quiet their mind feels impossible.

    The solution to alcohol use disorder is a FEELING. If you felt comfortable in your own skin and at ease in your life, you would drink like someone who is comfortable and at ease!

    Join me each week for holistic, evidence-based strategies to fix your dopamine deficit, regulate your nervous system, cure imposter syndrome, manage sugar cravings, improve your sleep and reclaim your mental health so you no longer have the urge to escape your own body.

    Get happy, not sober. Because happy people don’t drink themselves into a stupor.

    Ep48 | Are you motivated by shame? May 01, 2023
    Show notes

    Shame is a big motivator for high-functioning drinkers and perfectionists. Feeling like you have to prove yourself, or earn the right to relax, comes from the belief that you are not worthy as you are. You have to DO better to BE good enough.

    When you stop drinking, a large chunk of shame goes away. Because you no longer have anything to hide. But the "problem" with having less shame is that your motivation to perform goes away too.

    Post acute withdrawal syndrome (PAWS) affects 95 percent of us in early sobriety. Depression may feel like a shock when you're used to living with chronic anxiety. You may find it difficult to do basic tasks that you had no trouble with before--even when you were hungover.

    After a lifetime of checking boxes–caring less about your body and more about the optics–recovery is an invitation to cultivate real motivation. It's scary as hell to let go of idealistic expectations, but if you trust the process, you'll discover what really makes you happy.

    The willpower work-around Apr 24, 2023
    Show notes

    Tired of white-knuckling (or caving into) cravings for alcohol, comfort food and other self-defeating behaviors? Want to know what to do when you want something you shouldn't have?

    In this episode, I'll role-play the emotional sobriety framework that allows you to easily overcome urges without relying on willpower using my own recent temptation to open a bottle of wine.

    Willpower is a limited resource–especially in the evening after a busy day. And even when it works, urges will keep coming back and get harder to ignore until you untangle the subconscious emotions from the surface level desires.

    High quality self-care doesn't feel like a fight or require self-denial. Just the opposite. There is nothing more freeing than learning how to manage your emotions so they are no longer managing you!

    Ep 45| How to fix your dopamine deficit Apr 17, 2023
    Show notes

    Alcohol temporarily spikes your dopamine. Which is why you think, "this feels good and I want more." But what goes up must come down. Consistent use (of anything addictive) depletes your dopamine reserves. So you feel worse, crave more and unwittingly progress into addiction.

    When you quit drinking, you will be in a dopamine deficit for a while. This is known as post-acute withdrawal syndrome (PAWS). Time and healthy habits will recalibrate your brain chemistry. However, there are ways that you can accelerate your recovery.

    In this episode, get the 5 simple habits that are scientifically proven to correct your dopamine deficit. So that you can stop suffering and get on with your life.

    Are sobriety meetings helpful? Apr 10, 2023
    Show notes

    Community is the foundation of recovery. We don't recover alone! But the ideas you're exposed to in early sobriety have significant impact on your recovery. Labeling yourself as an "alcoholic" and committing to lifetime abstinence can increase your chance of relapse into alcohol use disorder.

    Ask someone who has what you want how they got it is good advice. But if you're human, what you want will evolve over time in response to what you need.

    Giving yourself permission to change—not just how you drink but also how you think—allows you to grow into the person you are meant to become.

    In this episode, I unpack the reasons I chose to opt out of the fear-based, one-size-fits-all approach to sobriety. And how I'm managing my recovery with emotional sobriety. Because my identity and my future are no longer defined by alcohol.

    How we get it together by falling apart--with Whitney Durmick Apr 03, 2023
    Show notes

    Whitney Durmick is author of Half Wild: A prayer for a generation of roaming malcontents. The book takes an uncompromising look at her self-destructive behavior as she lovingly untangles herself from the throes of anxiety, addiction and loneliness.

    Using excerpts from the book, Whitney and I unpack the emotional disconnect that has haunted her since childhood (me too!). Moving around a lot, Whitney became very adaptable--able to fit in wherever she was. But that skill left her feeling untethered as she molded her personality into the most-liked version.

    Little girls are not taught how to interpret the shame that occurs naturally in our developing bodies. So we grow up assuming that uncomfortable emotions mean something is wrong with us.

    Y'all--this is my first interview with a famous quit-lit author. I hope you enjoy this vulnerable, indepth conversation about what it means to be female and also what it means to recover.

    Ep42 | Why identifying as an alcoholic (and therefore as "sober") can hurt women in recovery Mar 27, 2023
    Show notes

    Trigger warning: If you're happy identifying as a "sober" alcoholic, this episode is not for you.

    Does promising to stay sober for the rest of your life conflict with your values? Are you an independent thinker who enjoys staying open to new ideas?

    Todays episode is a practice run of my new webinar, Why women who identify as alcoholics and therefore "sober" can struggle in recovery.

    There is strong evidence that labeling people as alcoholics and setting abstinence as a life-long requirement keep them from entering and staying in recovery.

    I explain how to escape your preoccupation with alcohol–instead of defining yourself by it forever.

    Ep41| Alcohol use disorder is a "perfect" storm (plus 5 steps to emotional sobriety) Mar 20, 2023
    Show notes

    Have you thought about quitting alcohol on and off for years--especially after a night of over-doing it?

    But once the hanxiety wears off, sobriety feels complicated and overly dramatic?

    The primary problem is not how much you drink. The problem is that you're relying on shame as a motivator. And once you feel better and the shame goes away, your motivation goes with it.

    You're a perfectionist, not an alcoholic.

    In this episode, I give you the five steps to emotional sobriety so that you can unlearn perfectionistic thought loops. Deal with life as it is instead of arguing with yourself about how it should be. Learn how to feel confident about who you are--with or without a drink in your hand.

    Why beating yourself up doesn't work Mar 13, 2023
    Show notes

    Alcohol use disorder is classified as a mental health issue. It's a thinking problem more than a drinking problem.

    Quitting drinking is a big first step. But an all-or-nothing, black and white approach to sobriety perpetuates the cycle of self-sabotage in ALL areas of your life.

    The pursuit of perfection is the problem, not the solution. There is no such thing as "perfect." Learning how to live on a spectrum of "okay," and how to forgive yourself when you fall short of a goal--and how to deal with your disappointment-- is the coping skill that leads to resilience.

    In this episode, I explain why beating yourself up doesn't work. And how responding to setbacks with self-care and compassion accelerates your recovery.

    How to interrupt a negative tailspin Mar 06, 2023
    Show notes

    What happens when you fall "off the wagon," go into a "spiral" or find yourself "in a hole?" Do you accept it as a fact? Tell yourself you'll "start over" on Monday or next month or when you have more time/energy/focus?

    What if bad days don't have to stay that way?

    In this episode, I share 3 questions that can interrupt a negative tailspin. You can chose to feel better NOW instead of waiting for something outside of your control to change.

    You do not have to be a victim of your emotions. "Stuck," "anxious" and "depressed" are feelings, not facts.

    The moment you realize you're in a bad mood, you have a choice. Your emotions are not the problem. It's how you respond to the way you feel that determines what happens next.
