After a lot of thought I’ve decided to pause the podcast and live Alcoholiday groups (just cannot bring myself to say end them, because, who knows?) It’s been a great run of 200+ podcasts and 42ish Alcoholidays (wow!!) I just celebrated my 5 years of alcohol freedom and I’m ready to focus in a different direction. What that is- I don’t know yet, but I do know I need to be part of something bigger than me and have meaningful in real life connection and community.
In this last podcast I reflect on my last 5 years of sobriety and ATP and go into more of an explanation of making this decision.
Thank you so much for listening and being part of the ATP community. I just can't express my thanks enough. I would not have kept doing this if it weren't for you all. Please remember- you are not broken and you can change.
Much love and gratitude,
Deb

How to Practice Acceptance to Change Your Drinking and Navigate Life’s Storms (00:47:02)
In this episode, I share a presentation on the powerful concept of acceptance. Acceptance means embracing the present moment and our emotions as they are, without trying to alter them. This approach is incredibly beneficial when dealing with life’s stresses and challenges, helping us to cope without resorting to alcohol. Acceptance has been a transformative tool in my journey to change my drinking and improve my life.
This episode covers:
Common misconceptions about acceptance (it’s not passive, weak, or about giving up, but rather about facing reality with courage)
Exercises and techniques to practice acceptance
How to accept all of our emotions (even the “icky” ones) – the essential work of sitting with feelings
The role of acceptance in changing your drinking
And more!

From Sober Curious to Sober Serious: Interview with Mocktail Mixologist Derick Santiago (00:52:49)
On the show today is Derick Santiago, a tech professional from the Philippines who experienced a significant lifestyle change after moving to California’s tech hub. Initially a rare drinker, he found himself drinking daily to fit in with the happy hour culture and to cope with anxiety and the grief of losing his mother during the pandemic. He shares how he changed his beliefs about alcohol and dived into mocktails as a substitute for alcoholic drinks, allowing him to continue fitting in and participating in happy hour. By allowing himself to go from sober curious to sober serious he’s now proudly 2 years alcohol free.
In addition to his day tech job, is the author of the recipe book “The Mocktail Club” and the newly-released recipe deck “Make it a Mocktail.” He is also the creator of @MocktailWiz, an Instagram page and website dedicated to craft mocktails, non-alcoholic cocktail recipes, and mindful mixology techniques.
We chat about:
What drinking culture was like growing up in the Philippines
Moving to the US in 2013 and being thrown into the tech sector’s happy hour culture
Learning to use alcohol to fit in, sleep, and cope with anxiety and grief
How “hate listening” to the book This Naked Mind shifted his beliefs on alcohol
