Today I am joined by my passionate and inspiring sister Caroline Dusseault, who also stopped drinking in 2020. When daily drinking started making her feel uncomfortable, Caroline began to ask the hard question: “What if I wouldn't drink at all?”

In this honest conversation, Caroline traces how family history, small daily habits and a relentless inner craving nearly stole her spark — and how choosing sobriety ignited her creativity and clarity.

She talks about “that little monster telling me I’m gonna die if you don’t drink!” and points listeners toward the hard work of going deeper (the real healing) rather than staying on the surface. This episode gives you practical, no-fluff insight into how to notice the patterns that numb you, and how to choose freedom instead.

Top Highlights:

• How to spot the small, everyday slide into dependency

• Practical mindset shifts that protect wellbeing

• What craving might sound and feel like — and how to respond with humour

Here’s a simple invitation for you: ask yourself, What if I wouldn’t drink at all?
