109: Why Does That Sound Fun?
This week on The Alcohol Free Marriage & More Podcast, we talk about why you don’t have a willpower problem, you have a nervous system problem. We dive into how stress, overstimulation, and chronic survival mode keep us reaching for quick fixes like alcohol, and how true peace comes from regulating the body and trusting God. We also share our first tailgate in five years, Sober October insights (1 in 4 Americans are joining!), and why obedience, not more self-control, creates real transformation. Tune in for practical ways to calm your nervous system, restore peace, and choose freedom over escape.Download our FREE Marriage Meeting Guide HereGet Our FREE Beyond Spirits: 7 Tips for Starting Your AF JourneyDrink of the weekMash Gang Lesser Evil - Non-Alcoholic - Chocolate Cherry StoutMash Gang Chug - Non-Alcoholic - Hazy IPAWatch the podcast on YouTube here: Alcohol Free Marriage Podcast VideoCoach Amy on TikTokCoach Amy on InstagramGet $5 off your first Go Brewing order!Our Website: AFMPodcast.comSchedule your free discovery coaching call with Amy
