She Got Sober. Her Husband Kept Drinking. Here's What Happened
2026/10/27
What happens when you decide to quit drinking, but your partner isn't ready to give up alcohol?
In this episode of the No More Wasted Days podcast, I'm joined by my friend Casey McGuire Davidson, host of the Hello Someday podcast, to talk about what it's REALLY like to get sober when your spouse still drinks.
Casey and her husband were drinking buddies from the very beginning of their relationship. From partying in their 20s to date nights, vacations, and eventually mommy wine culture, alcohol was always part of their marriage. So when Casey decided to quit drinking, she worried about how it would change everything.
We get into the fears, resentment, boundaries, and uncomfortable conversations that come with quitting alcohol when your partner doesn't. Casey also shares why she initially hid her sobriety efforts from her husband, how she found support outside her marriage, and how they learned to enjoy date nights and vacations without alcohol being the main event.
And here's the best part: Casey is now 10 years sober!
If you've been putting off your alcohol-free journey because you're worried about how it might affect your marriage, this episode is for you. Because your partner doesn't have to quit drinking for you to create a life you love without alcohol.

7 Reasons I Didn't Go to AA (And What I Got Wrong) with Stefanie Wilder-Taylor
2026/10/20
What if everything you thought you knew about Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) was wrong?
In this episode of the No More Wasted Days Podcast, I'm joined by author and fellow sober podcaster Stefanie Wilder-Taylor, host of Drunk-ish, to talk about the seven reasons I chose NOT to go to AA when I quit drinking.
From the fear of identifying as an alcoholic to the 12 steps, religion, powerlessness, and the commitment of attending meetings, Stefanie shares her firsthand experience with a 12-step program and challenges some of my biggest misconceptions.
We also get into the importance of sober community, why asking for help can be so difficult, and how there is no one-size-fits-all approach to quitting drinking.
Whether you're curious about AA, considering a 12-step program, or looking for alternatives to Alcoholics Anonymous, this honest and hilarious conversation is a reminder that you don't have to get sober the same way someone else did. You just have to find what works for you.

2026/10/13
What happens when you triumph over an Adderall addiction, stop drinking alcohol and eventually take on a 60 lb. weight loss journey that finally sticks?
In this episode of the No More Wasted Days Podcast, I'm joined by Ashley Beeman, fitness coach and host of The Fit Freedom Podcast, to talk about her journey from Adderall addiction and struggles with body image to a 365-day alcohol-free experiment that completely changed her perspective on drinking.
Ashley shares why she decided to quit drinking even though she didn't consider herself to have a drinking problem, what she discovered about living alcohol-free, and how she broke free from the cycle of restrictive dieting and starting over.
We also dive into the power of identity shifts, creating sustainable healthy habits, and moving from discipline to devotion. Whether you're sober curious, taking a break from alcohol, or ready to make bigger changes in your life, this conversation is a reminder that you don't have to change everything overnight to transform your life.

Your Sober October Game Plan: 5 Things That Actually Help
2026/09/29
Thinking about doing Sober October? Before you rely on willpower and hope for the best, there are a few things that can make the month a whole lot easier.
In this episode, I share 5 practical ways to set yourself up for a successful alcohol-free month, including how to plan for your usual drinking window, handle the inevitable mental negotiations, replace the rituals alcohol used to fill, and start paying attention to what you're gaining instead of simply counting the days. Sober October isn't about proving you can survive 31 days without drinking. It's an opportunity to get curious about your relationship with alcohol and discover what changes when you give yourself some space from it.

Ep. 183: Transfer Addiction Explained: What Happens After You Quit Drinking
2026/07/28
When you quit drinking, you expect the hard part to be over, but sometimes, the brain finds a new outlet for the same addictive patterns. In this episode, Sara opens up about her personal experience with transfer addictions - how her addictive tendencies shifted from alcohol to food tracking, sugar, and weed, and what she learned about herself in the process. Through stories, science, and self-compassion, Sara breaks down: What transfer addiction (or cross-addiction) actually isWhy our brains latch onto new sources of dopamine when we remove alcoholHow dopamine depletion and reward substitution keep us chasing “the buzz”Why it’s normal to experience new compulsions in early sobriety and how to move through them7 powerful ways to heal the void and rebuild balance in recovery You’ll also hear Sara share research-backed insights on dopamine regulation, neuroplasticity, and the incentive sensitization theory, explaining why we crave even when we no longer enjoy the thing we’re craving. Whether your new obsession is sugar, scrolling, or staying “in control,” this episode reminds you that awareness is the first step toward freedom. 00:00 Introduction and Personal Journey 01:16 Understanding Transfer Addictions 03:36 Promoting the 30-Day Alcohol-Free Challenge 04:43 Realizing Transfer Addictions 07:40 Defining Transfer Addiction 10:40 The Science Behind Addiction 20:27 Recognizing and Managing Transfer Addictions 22:06 Practical Tools for Overcoming Addictions 26:02 Conclusion and Final Thoughts 📚 Resources & Further Reading: Transfer Addictions, Dopamine, and Recovery National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) — Drugs, Brains, and Behavior: The Science of AddictionVolkow, N.D. et al.

Ep. 182: I Don’t Always Like Myself Sober
2026/07/21
What happens when sobriety feels awkward, uncomfortable, or like more work than you expected? In this episode, I’m sharing the parts of being completely sober that I don’t always love, from making new friends without alcohol to setting harder boundaries, managing stress without checking out, and accepting that my house may be a little messier. I also explain why I’m still choosing sobriety every time. Because discomfort passes, but the clarity, self-trust, and freedom that come from facing life fully present are always worth it.
