概要
 How do you know when a behavior that feels normal has become a problem? Colleen Clifford spent decades binge drinking without seeing herself as someone with an alcohol problem. Her work as a commercial fisherwoman even gave her long periods without alcohol, which made it easier to believe that everything was under control. Then, at 58, she drove home drunk after a party. Nothing happened. No accident, no ticket, no one was hurt. But the realization of what could have happened changed her relationship with alcohol. In this conversation, we explore the question Colleen now encourages others to ask: How is it working for me? We talk about normalized drinking, shame and coping mechanisms, the role of support, the importance of having a strong reason for change, and why it can be more helpful to focus on the next hour or the next day than on “forever.” We also compare our own experiences of changing deeply ingrained behaviors. Colleen describes building change gradually through support, identity, and repeated choices. I share part of my own history with bulimia, where change eventually came through a very different kind of realization. A conversation about alcohol, but also about something much broader: recognizing when a way of coping is no longer serving us, and finding a way forward without making shame part of the solution. Colleen Clifford is a commercial fisherwoman, author, and advocate for binge drinking awareness and suicide prevention. She is the author of Life Beyond the Binge: A Commercial Fisherwoman's Journey Home. This episode includes discussion of binge drinking, bulimia, drunk driving, and suicide.
