Abby is a wife, mom, and Sacred Sobriety Lab member who has been alcohol-free for 232 days. But before that number, there were six attempts at cutting back — each one unraveling the same way, one exception at a time.In this episode, Abby walks us through what her drinking actually looked like at its peak, why moderation kept failing her, and what shifted when she stopped trying to manage alcohol on her own terms and instead responded to what she felt God asking of her.We talk about the mental chatter that follows a drinker everywhere — the planning, the negotiating, the stopping at three and being furious about it — and what it felt like when that chatter finally went quiet.We also get into the Kentucky Derby party where Abby caught herself smiling so hard she couldn't contain it. The mocktail called The Chauffeur. Going to Confession. And what happened in the eight months after her last drink that she never could have orchestrated on her own.This is the first time I've had a client on this podcast.
