The Strange Grief of Drinking Less
About this episode
This episode explores the unexpected grief that can accompany the decision to drink less alcohol.
In this episode, we dig into the strange grief that can show up when you start drinking less. Not regret. Not a craving exactly. More like the quiet feeling of missing something you’re genuinely glad you changed. We’ll look at why alcohol can become woven into your rituals, identity, stress relief, celebrations, and even the future you quietly imagined for yourself. And why feeling some sadness along the way doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong. It just means something real is changing.
