In last week’s episode, I invited you to ask: What is alcohol giving you?

In this companion episode, we explore what alcohol might be taking from you. Not just the obvious consequences of drinking, but the deeper, more personal costs that often go unspoken.

This isn’t about shame or judgment. It’s about awareness—so you can stop letting alcohol take more than it already has.

We’ll talk about:

• how alcohol impacts your health, relationships, finances, productivity;
• how it takes away your joy, pleasure, and sense of agency;
• what it does to your self-trust, self-respect, and ability to show up for yourself;
• and why getting honest about these losses is a gateway to real change.

If you’ve ever comforted yourself that your drinking is "not that bad," this episode will help you see the bigger picture, so you can decide what kind of future you want to create.

You are allowed to want more for yourself. You are allowed to choose differently.

And if you’re ready to stop letting alcohol write your story, I can help. Book a free consultation to talk about what’s possible—link is in the show notes.
