Episode 506: Overdrinking, Controlled Drinking, and Recovery with Sherry B. Price

This week, we explore how to stop overdrinking with special guest Sherry Price. Sherry helps women moderate their drinking and as someone who identifies as an addict, I was a bit skeptical of her work. However, after our conversation, I have new insight into her expertise and her thoughts on alcohol and addiction. We also discussed the stigma around addiction, different paths to recovery, and the importance of having the right support network during your journey. 

Sherry is a certified life coach, pharmacist, and creator of the Drink Less Lifestyle podcast and EpicYOU program. Using empowerment-based tools, she helps women to stop overdrinking, lose weight, improve relationships, and live as their most epic self.

Some of the topics we discussed include:

• Drinking for the experience versus self-medication (12:09)
• The joy of saying, “No.” (14:28)
• Overdrinking: what it is and some reasons women may do it (18:24)
• We explore the question, “Is alcoholism a disease or not?” (29:01)
• Why “you can’t punish addiction out of somebody.” (32:49)
• The importance of figuring out the “why” for your overdrinking or addiction (34:40)
