Show Notes
On the show today is Danni Carr, host of the popular How I Quit Alcohol Podcast. I have a special spot for Danni because her show is one of the podcasts (besides mine-;))my brother used to get sober 3 years ago. Danni’s journey to alcohol freedom started in 2017 with her much-loved Australian Blues Musician husband, Ash Grunwald. They did a 12-month alcohol-free challenge together that turned into a continued life of awesome sobriety. Danni is a trauma informed sobriety coach and breathwork and meditation teacher who uses Dr Gabor Mate’s compassionate inquiry approach to healing and coaching. She and Ash have a new book out called How I Quit Alcohol: A Rock and Roll Guide to Sobriety and Living Well. We chat about:

After a lot of thought I’ve decided to pause the podcast and live Alcoholiday groups (just cannot bring myself to say end them, because, who knows?) It’s been a great run of 200+ podcasts and 42ish Alcoholidays (wow!!) I just celebrated my 5 years of alcohol freedom and I’m ready to focus in a different direction. What that is- I don’t know yet, but I do know I need to be part of something bigger than me and have meaningful in real life connection and community. In this last podcast I reflect on my last 5 years of sobriety and ATP and go into more of an explanation of making this decision. Thank you so much for listening and being part of the ATP community. I just can't express my thanks enough. I would not have kept doing this if it weren't for you all. Please remember- you are not broken and you can change. Much love and gratitude, Deb Ready to change your drinking habit? Visit Alcohol Tipping Point website at http://www.alcoholtippingpoint.com/ for lots of FREE resources including:
