Über diesen Titel

 The Wine O’Clock Woman.



  • New episodes every Wednesday
  • Monthly guest conversations
  • Voice note editions featuring messages and truths from listeners like you.
This podcast isn't about sobriety or moderation.
It's about what's underneath the drinking.

The pressures. The pretending everything's fine. The slow disappearance of who you used to be.

I'm Rebecca Thomson- a cognitive behavioural hypnotherapist, former teacher, mother.... and once a woman who poured a drink at 6 pm most nights just to survive the noise in my head.



Every Wednesday, I'll share raw, unfiltered truths, lived experiences, and the moments women wake up. Plus monthly guest episodes with women who've walked the hard road too.

Drinking is just the symptom. You don't have to stay stuck in the wine o'clock cycle.

    Episode 11 | How to Deal With Self-Disappointment Without Drinking
    Jan 14 2026
    It’s not the mistake.
    It’s the fallout afterwards.

    That disappointment in ourselves… the rumination… the inner critic on loop.
    For many, it’s this mental spiral that drives the next drink, not the moment itself.

    In this episode, I explore what really happens when we feel we've let ourselves down, and why we often reach for a drink just to get some peace.
    You’ll learn how to disrupt the shame-rumination-drink cycle by meeting your emotions differently, without needing to numb them.

    A practical guide for anyone tired of drinking over the same old feelings.

  • Episode 10 | Guest conversation: Menopause and Midlife Drinking with Caroline Woolley

    Episode 10 | Guest conversation: Menopause and Midlife Drinking with Caroline Woolley
    Jan 10 2026
    In this guest conversation, I’m joined by Caroline Woolley, a menopause expert, who supports women through perimenopause and menopause by working with hormones, the nervous system, and real midlife pressures.

    We talk about why alcohol suddenly feels harder to tolerate in your 40s and 50s, how hormonal shifts affect sleep, anxiety, and mood, and why so many women blame themselves instead of seeing their drinking as a signal that something needs attention.

    This is an honest conversation about alcohol as self-soothing and the midlife squeeze.

  • Episode 9 | I Don’t Want to Go Sober — But I Don’t Want to Keep Drinking

    Episode 9 | I Don’t Want to Go Sober — But I Don’t Want to Keep Drinking
    Jan 7 2026
    You’re drinking more than you want to — but you’re not sure you want to go sober forever.
    AA doesn’t feel like a good fit.
    And Dry January usually fails.
    So now what?

    In this episode, I talk about the stuck place so many women find themselves in.
    What’s often called grey area drinking — I call the Wine O’Clock Cycle:
    When drinking becomes automatic.

    It can feel like you only have two choices:
    Keep drinking and pretend it’s fine — or go sober and build your life around that.
    Dry January, for all its good intentions, often reinforces that false choice.

    I unpack:
    • Why alcohol is rarely the root issue — it’s a symptom
    • How the Wine O’Clock Cycle keeps smart, capable women stuck
    • What happens when we start asking better questions
    If you’ve ever said “never again” in the morning and poured a glass by 6pm — this one’s for you. There’s a deeper reason you’re reaching for the glass.
    And there’s a better way to face it — without shame, labels, or all-or-nothing thinking.
