Surprisingly, Helen grew up in an alcohol-free household, yet found herself, by her mid-twenties, fully immersed in a daily drinking culture that felt completely normal. This habit quietly escalated until, at 50, she was passing out almost every night. Despite her ambition and past ability to control her drinking, she grappled with a deep sense of powerlessness. Join Annie and Helen as they discuss how she navigated this profound shift, breaking free from the struggle and discovering an unexpected, joyful infatuation with her truly alcohol-free life. It's a testament to finding genuine happiness without compromise. In this episode, Annie and Helen discuss: Growing up without alcohol, then starting a daily wine habit in her mid-twenties. Helen's attempts to stop drinking, including the Anthony Robbins' Dickens process, and why fear-based motivation didn't stick. The pivotal moment when Helen realized she could quit drinking and never feel deprived The profound realization that alcohol offers no real value. The impact of alcohol marketing and her aversion to being "taken for a fool." Applying the principles of her alcohol-free journey to other areas of life. Why Helen no longer feels powerless or tempted by alcohol The surprising benefits of quitting drinking that Helen never expected And other topics…
