On Healing Horizons, your host sits down with Lauren Fay to name the quiet gap between “I’m fine” and “I don’t feel in control,” and why high-achieving women often use alcohol as fast relief until it stops working.

If you feel stuck in the start stop cycle, can’t make moderation stick, or fear sobriety will make you boring, this episode gives you a grounded system to rebuild self trust, shift identity, and choose clarity without shame. 

Lauren Fay is the author of Blurred Lines: My Reclamation of Power from Alcohol Addiction and supports professional women in changing their relationship with alcohol through a total body approach. 

• Use an “honest inventory” check: is alcohol a problem to you, by your definition

• Stop negotiating with moderation and reclaim your mental bandwidth

• Shift identity from “I can’t” to “I choose not to”

• Craving protocol: pause, notice the micro choices, change scenery, go outside

• Expect an adjustment period and use it to redesign your social life
