The Catholic Sobriety Podcast

Welcome to The Catholic Sobriety Podcast. I'm Christie Walker — Catholic sobriety coach, content creator, and woman who has lived alcohol free for nearly 30 years. This podcast is for the Catholic woman who is disciplined, faithful, and quietly negotiating with a glass of wine every night. You don't think you're an alcoholic. You're not sure there's even a "problem." But something in you knows this habit is costing you more than you're willing to admit — and that the gap between who you are in Christ and who you are at 9pm is getting harder to ignore. We go deep here. Faith, neuroscience, identity, inner healing. Because what looks like a drinking habit is almost always something bigger — and God is usually in the middle of it, waiting. Ready to find out who you are without it? Start listening.

  Ep 184: I Might Mess Up Your Drinking

  Aug 13, 202617 min

  If you've started paying attention to your drinking and suddenly feel like you can't stop thinking about it — this episode is for you. Christie explains why the chatter gets louder before it gets quiet, what the closet analogy has to do with sobriety, and what it actually looks like to go from "all I can think about is alcohol" to "I'm not thinking about it hardly at all anymore." This is the episode that reframes the uncomfortable beginning as the path — not the problem. Topics covered: The warning — awareness might mess up your drinking | The woman who said it's all she can think about | The closet analogy — why the mess has to come out before it can be sorted | Christie's outpatient moment and the word "yet" | The hamster wheel vs. seeing the hamster wheel | The arc: more, then less, then free | What to do with the discomfort right now | What God does in the awareness stage Drop us a Question or Comment Get started with my FREE 5-Day Sacred Sobriety Kick Start https://www.thecatholicsobrietycoach.com/5-day-sacred-sobriety-kick-start Book a Clarity Call https://thecatholicsobrietycoach.mykajabi.com/clarity-call Visit my Website: https://thecatholicsobrietycoach.com

  Ep 182: What Nobody Tells You About Quitting Drinking

  Jul 30, 202619 min

  Nobody warns you about the messy middle. You've gotten through the beginning, you're past the pink cloud, and now the doubt is setting in — is this sustainable? Can I really keep this up? In this episode Christie shares what happened the morning after she moved into her new home and why it's the perfect picture of what women go through when they start releasing alcohol. Plus: the marriage analogy that changed how one of her clients thought about sobriety, what surfaces when you stop numbing, and how to stay in it when it gets hard.

  Ep 181: Rethinking What It Means to Teach Our Kids About Alcohol

  Jul 23, 202623 min

  Christie came across a reel from a health coach with an unpopular opinion: she's not going to teach her teens to drink responsibly — she's going to give them the real truth about what alcohol actually is and does. The comments were - well, interesting. In this episode Christie adds her voice to that conversation, shares what she's seen firsthand as a mom with a son in college right now, and talks about why the cultural pressure to be the 'cool parent' around alcohol might be doing more harm than we think. If you want the deeper dive on what to actually say to your teens, go back and listen to episode 139 — this one picks up where that left off. Topics covered: The "teach them to drink at home" argument — and why the research doesn't support it | Christie's real story of drinking as a teenager | The neuroscience of the adolescent brain and alcohol | What to actually say to your kids at every stage | For the parent who just found out their kid is drinking | Why this conversation matters for us too — not just our children Drop us a Question or Comment Get started with my FREE 5-Day Sacred Sobriety Kick Start https://thecatholicsobrietycoach.mykajabi.com/5-day-sacred-sobriety-kick-start Book a Clarity Call https://thecatholicsobrietycoach.mykajabi.com/clarity-call Visit my Website: https://thecatholicsobrietycoach.com

In this episode Christie breaks down exactly what your brain is doing when you crave a drink — the dopamine loop, the habit trail, the borrowed relief — and gives you real tools to get through the next twenty minutes. Plus: the science behind vacuuming and your high school playlist. Yes, really. Topics covered: Why alcohol feels like it helps with overwhelm — and what it's actually doing | The dopamine anticipation loop that starts at 3pm | Borrowing relief from tomorrow — and what you're paying back | The habit loop: cue, routine, reward — in plain language | Why cravings are still strong after two weeks (and what the 90-day reset actually means) | The July Fourth craving that passed in twenty minutes | Playing it forward | Nervous system regulation tools that actually work — including vacuuming and your high school playlist | The two questions to ask when a craving hits The two questions: What am I feeling right now?
