How to Quit Drinking as a Mom

Six years ago, Payal looked in the mirror the morning after a blackout and finally had enough of herself. She's back on Where Are They Now to talk about how to quit drinking as a mom when mommy wine culture makes it feel normal, and what six years actually built: a dad and two sisters who gave up alcohol right along with her, and two boys who have never once seen their mom drunk.

Payal and Coach Hayley discuss:

• Growing up believing a drink was the only way to build real confidence, and what she knows now that she didn't then

• The four-pack of small wine bottles hidden at the bottom of the trash, and the mommy wine culture that made it feel normal

• Why she could never just have one, and the single therapist conversation that finally connected the dots

• What it actually looks like to quit drinking as a mom when your spouse still drinks

• Learning how to have fun without alcohol again, after believing for years it wasn't possible

• And more on the "playing the tape forward" trick she still uses today, and finding your own path to alcohol freedom…
