Product Information

The Hello Someday Podcast helps busy and successful women build a life they love without alcohol. Host Casey McGuire Davidson, a certified life coach and creator of The 30-Day Guide to Quitting Drinking, brings together her experience of quitting drinking while navigating work and motherhood, along with the voices of experts in personal development, self-care, addiction and recovery and self-improvement. Learn how to let go of alcohol as a coping mechanism, how to shift your mindset about sobriety and change your drinking habits, how to create healthy routines to cope with anxiety, people pleasing and perfectionism, the importance of self-care in early sobriety, and why you don’t need to be an alcoholic to live an alcohol free life. You know, it’s really just about again, being super curious, and allowing enough solitude or time just with you and your thoughts, and maybe a journal to recognize how you’re speaking to yourself, you know, would you talk to a stranger like that? Most people, including myself that I’ve met, that actually awakened to how we’re talking to ourselves in our own heads, if we write it down, and we reread it, we realize we wouldn’t even say that to someone we didn’t like, yeah, much less our children or our partners, or someone we really love. The other day, my doctor told me to stop drinking all together because of my issues with low stomach acid. Low stomach acid is pretty common for adults over the age of 60. And, my wine drinking was not helping matters. I would classify myself as a moderate drinker, so quitting was a bit tough for me the first 3 or 4 days. Then, it got easier. And, after reading this eye-opening book explaining the addiction and poisons of alcohol and the reaction of your own body chemistry - YIKES - I really had no clue. Gee, everyone around me drinks - can’t be that bad. Gee, it is that bad. In this podcast, my goal is to teach you the tried and true secrets of creating and living a life you don’t want to escape from.

The Alcohol Experiment: A 30-day, Alcohol-Free Challeng… The Alcohol Experiment: A 30-day, Alcohol-Free Challeng…

You are aware something about your relationship with alcohol is toxic, but you also feel like it’s your crutch. Challenge your thinking, find clarity, and form new habits with a 30-day alcohol-free experiment from the author of This Naked Mind . There’s no commitment involved beyond your own curiosity and wanting to take a deeper look at yourself and your drinking. One of the greatest things in life is having a growth mindset – that means that you’re always challenging and pushing yourself to do the hard stuff. Sure, leaving your comfort zone might be a little scary but what if a life beyond what you imagined was waiting for you? Isn’t that worth testing out? Let’s Do This! The psychological, neurological, cultural, social and industry factors that influence our desire to drinkWhy it’s a false choice to believe that you have only two options around alcohol: submit to a life of deprivation or continue to drink Annie Grace welcomes Kelly this week to share her Naked Life story. Kelly shares her powerful journey of retreating from alcohol, shedding light on the intricate relationship between her drinking and her career as a flight attendant. She opens up to Annie Grace about how the pandemic unexpectedly intensified her drinking habits and reveals a pivotal moment when an episode of Red Table Talk served as the catalyst for her transformative journey away from alcohol. Annie and Kelly discuss how retreating from alcohol ultimately leads us to discover the truest form of ourselves. You have a love-hate relationship with alcohol - and find yourself setting limits and then breaking them and losing control when happy hour rolls around. You are ready to regain complete control over your drinking habits, your life, your health, your happiness, and your freedom. As the experiment progresses, readers learn about the science behind alcohol and its effects on the body and mind. They are encouraged to practice mindfulness and self-awareness to better understand their triggers for drinking and to develop healthier coping mechanisms.

Something the author wrote on Day 2 hit me hard and something shifted. It's Day 30 now and this was honestly not that difficult. I had a few weak moments (mostly at night with friends), but overall I've lost the desire.

Yeah, I love that. Because, you know, for so many of us who’ve been drinking for decades, you know, you know what your life looks like when you’re drinking like people are like, I mean, I was a daily drinker, I like you was at least a bottle, but seven nights a week, you know, a bottle plus and used to come down and be like, is there a quarter left in the bottle, or, you know, three quarters left, because that was sort of determined how crappy my day was going to be. But I didn’t know I didn’t remember. And so that groundhog day cycle, when you drink so much for so many years, you’re right, you know exactly how it’s gonna go. And most of us haven’t done a sober boat trip or a sober happy hour or sober Christmas, or whatever it is, in the longest time. I am. So, when you talk about self-compassion and curiosity, I’m curious one of my clients who said you absolutely changed her life and her mindset. And your book was the first one she read. She asked me to ask you have in your experience, once someone has embraced the beautiful life of sobriety, what if you seem to be the biggest common denominator between those people who stay sober? Whether it’s a mindset or habit, versus people who don’t have that long term success? Is it that compassion and curiosity or once you get past that initial phases? It’s something else?
