Let’s talk about something a lot of us secretly struggle with… ⚡️ That nagging belief that maybe you can still learn to drink “normally.” Spoiler alert: for many of us, that idea is keeping us stuck.

In this episode, I’m responding to a message I received from someone who said, “I just can’t seem to moderate, and I hate that about myself.” Whew—if that hit you in the gut, this episode is for you.

Here’s what we dive into: 💭 Why the desire to moderate is often a sign of something deeper 🧠 How to reframe “acceptance” as a strength—not a failure 🌿 Why letting go of moderation might be the thing that actually sets you free 🖤 The grief that can come with this shift—and how to move through it 📝 Reflection questions to help you process and grow

If you’re still clinging to the fantasy of being able to “figure it out,” I want you to know this: You’re not broken. You’re just ready to be free.
