If you’re thinking about drinking again — that’s the clearest sign you still can’t.

Maybe you’ve been sober for a while… and you’re starting to wonder if you could handle drinking again.
If that thought has crossed your mind — I want you to pause right here and hit play on this episode.

We’re talking about the subtle signs that tell you everything you need to know about your relationship with alcohol — even now.

In this episode, I’m sharing the addict traits that still show up in my life after almost 20 years sober — and how they confirm, without a doubt, that I’m not someone who can ever drink normally.

We’ll talk about:

The “more” mentality — when enough is never enough
Overthinking and rumination (AKA emotional avoidance)
Feeling “less than” no matter how much you accomplish
Being extra in everyday ways (and what that really means)
Why avoiding hard things in sobriety is just as dangerous as numbing them

And we’ll bring it all back to the biggest red flag of all:
Just how much mental energy you’re spending thinking about alcohol.

You’ll hear the truth about the addict personality: how it still shows up in overthinking, overdoing, compulsive patterns, and that constant hunger for “more.”

Because if you’re fantasizing, negotiating, or justifying a future where you might drink again… that’s not healing. That’s the addiction, whispering in a different voice.
