The Deliberate Exchange - Navigating Stress, Sobriety & Self-Trust — One Deliberate Step at a Time

If You’ve Ever Silently Questioned If You Drink Too Much, This Episode Is For You EP#25

Chelsea Powell Season 1 Episode 25

I didn’t wake up one day and just “know” I had a drinking problem.
For a long time, my habits looked totally normal—because they matched everyone else’s. But under the surface, I was quietly unraveling.

Anxiety. Blackouts. Depression that hit like a freight train the day after.
I started googling “Am I an alcoholic?”
I made weekly promises that this time would be different.
I kept waiting for someone or something to tell me I didn’t really have a problem.

In this episode, I walk you through the quiet moments that finally added up to a truth I couldn’t ignore anymore.
I also share what quitting drinking made possible: love, clarity, a house I built with my partner, and the kind of peace I didn’t even know I was chasing.

This isn’t a story about losing something.
It’s about waking up—fully—and finding everything.
