I didn’t wake up one day and just “know” I had a drinking problem.
For a long time, my habits looked totally normal—because they matched everyone else’s. But under the surface, I was quietly unraveling.
Anxiety. Blackouts. Depression that hit like a freight train the day after.
I started googling “Am I an alcoholic?”
I made weekly promises that this time would be different.
I kept waiting for someone or something to tell me I didn’t really have a problem.
In this episode, I walk you through the quiet moments that finally added up to a truth I couldn’t ignore anymore.
I also share what quitting drinking made possible: love, clarity, a house I built with my partner, and the kind of peace I didn’t even know I was chasing.
This isn’t a story about losing something.
It’s about waking up—fully—and finding everything.

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
