Have you ever found yourself trapped in the cycle of binge drinking, wondering if there's a way out? Colleen Clifford, a health and alcohol recovery coach, joins us to share her harrowing yet hopeful journey from the depths of alcohol dependency to the freedom of sobriety. Her raw account delves into the social seduction of binge drinking, the denial that blankets it, and the pivotal moments that spurred her transformation. We also navigate the post-alcohol challenges of eating habits, offering a beacon of hope and actionable advice for those struggling with the intricacies of food and drink.The murky waters of moderation and the mental tug-of-war with self-control are laid bare as we recount personal experiences that dismantle the myth of 'just one drink.' Through the lens of Colleen's story, we uncover the mental clarity and liberation awaiting on the other side of sobriety, and we unravel the 'why' that anchors a life free from alcohol's grasp. This episode is an inspiring guide for anyone seeking to understand the subtle shift from social drinking to problematic behavior and the self-reflective journey that can lead to reclaiming control.Wrapping up, we turn the spotlight on the often-overlooked relationship between eating disorders, societal pressures, and the pursuit of sobriety. Strategies for curbing cravings, the timing of meals, and the role of nutrition in recovery are just a few gems we explore, teasing an upcoming book that delves deeper into these themes. As sobriety coaches, Colleen and I celebrate the joy of reconnection, the power of networking, and our shared commitment to guiding others through the maze of alcohol moderation. Join us for an episode that's not only a conversation but a lifeline for those ready to embark on a transformative journey toward health and happiness.Colleen's website: https://purepotential.health/MEGWeb: https://www.meganwebb.com.au/Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/meganwebbcoaching/ Unwined Bookclub: https://www.alcoholfreedom.com.au/unwinedbookclub ConnectAF group coaching: https://www.elizaparkinson.com/groupcoaching BELLAWeb: https://isabellaferguson.com.auInsta: @alcoholcounsellorisabellaBi-Yearly 6-Week Small Group Challenges: Learn more: https://www.isabellaferguson.com.au/feb-2025-challengeFree Do I Have A Drinking Problem 3 x Video Series: https://resources.isabellaferguson.com.au/offers/JTFFgjJL/checkoutFree HOW DO I STOP DRINKING SO MUCH Masterclass: https://resources.isabellaferguson.com.au/offers/7fvkb3FF/checkoutOnline Alcohol Self-Paced Course: https://resources.isabellaferguson.com.au/offers/fDzcyvWL/checkout...
