Stress Less, Drink Less: How to Break the Cycle of Alcohol and Anxiety

In a world where stress is an inevitable part of corporate life, especially in the alcohol industry, how do you break free from the daily grind of relying on alcohol to cope? Welcome to "One More Thing before You Go." I'm your host, Michael Herst, and today we have an inspiring story that will change your perspective on managing stress and making transformative lifestyle choices.

In this episode, we delve into the remarkable journey of Ruby Williams, who spent 19 years working in the wine and alcohol industry. At first, she considered herself a "normal" drinker, like many in the field. However, as the demands of her corporate job intensified, she found herself turning to alcohol more and more as a way to relieve stress.

Ruby's story is not just about quitting drinking; it's about redefining her entire lifestyle. She made the courageous decision to stop drinking alcohol for the rest of her life, and in doing so, she discovered a path to healing and self-discovery. As a single mom, she candidly shares how she used alcohol to suppress negative emotions, and how sobriety allowed her to confront and overcome her challenges.

But Ruby's transformation didn't stop there. By committing to a life without alcohol, she gained the clarity and strength to conquer food addiction and take control of her health. Her story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of making conscious choices to transform your life.

Alcohol Freedom Coach

Hi Michael,
Living in Northern California wine country, I ended up drinking daily to find relief from my stressful corporate job in the alcohol industry and to deal with my surly teen as a single mom. I gained over 100 pounds due to stress over a custody battle with my ex-husband and my home foreclosure. After weight-loss surgery my food addiction quickly transferred to alcohol use disorder. I was burned out in the wine industry but couldn't figure out a way to stop drinking.

I started my alcohol-free journey at age 49 and discovering Annie Grace's book, This Naked Mind, was the catalyst to my journey and transforming my life. I'm now 4 years alcohol free and proud to have found my passion and purpose in life as an Alcohol Freedom coach! I've completely transformed my life and can be an inspiration to your listeners.
