About this episode

In this episode, Casey McGuire Davidson and guest Mary Tilson discuss practical tools to manage alcohol cravings and the importance of understanding their occurrence.

If you’re trying to drink less or stop drinking, alcohol cravings can feel incredibly frustrating. You might make it through a few days or even a couple of weeks, and then suddenly the desire to drink shows up again—usually when you’re stressed, overwhelmed, tired, or just trying to unwind at the end of the day. In this episode, I’m joined by Mary Tilson, a professional recovery coach, yoga and meditation teacher, and the founder of Sun and Moon Sober Living. We talk about why alcohol cravings happen, how to create a pause between impulse and action, and how to build the skills that help you move through cravings without starting over. Because the truth is: cravings don’t mean you’re failing. They’re part of the process—and there are tools that make them easier to manage.
