From the outside, Sarah Connolly had it all. A business, yoga classes, and a young family. But behind closed doors, she was drinking more than she wanted and it was eating away at her self-respect.

We sat down with Sarah, a grey area drinking coach who has been alcohol-free for seven years. She shares the one question that changed everything. Not “Am I drinking more than them?” But “Am I drinking too much for me?”

Sarah explains why some people can stop at one and others can’t. Hint: it has nothing to do with discipline.

We also dig into the moment Sarah knew she was done, and why she still had six more weeks of drinking first.

You’ll also hear Harvey’s plan for a drinking contract, and Sarah gives her honest take on moderation.

If you’re sober-curious, doing a booze challenge, or simply wondering if your drinking is too much for you, this episode may change how you see your next drink.
