The Sober Connection
Season 3 - Episode 7: Evenings - The Real Battle
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This week on The Sober Connection, I'm talking about evenings, because for so many people, that’s where the real battle with alcohol actually happens.
The 5pm autopilot. “I deserve this.” The exhausting cycle of trying to hold it together all day… then reaching for a drink to finally switch off.
In this episode, I unpack:
– why evenings feel so hard
– what’s actually happening in your nervous system at the end of the day
– why it can feel automatic even when you genuinely want to stop
– and how to start interrupting the pattern without relying on willpower alone
If you’ve ever found yourself waking up determined not to drink… only to end up back in the same cycle by evening, this is a good one to listen to.
