Stop Drinking and Create the Life You Love! Hey Sister! Do you find yourself saying, “I need to get control of my drinking?” Do you google “How to know if I’m drinking too much” or “Am I an alcoholic?” Feeling stressed most of the time? Is your health going downhill and it makes you feel like crap? Is your anxiety through the roof, so much that you wake up at 3am with your heart racing and thinking negative thoughts about yourself? You hide it well. Not many people know. You show up for work, you workout (sometimes), you walk around with a smile on your face for the world to see and meanwhile you think... I wish I was a better mom… I want to be a better person. What’s wrong with me? Why can’t I just quit? Yet you still crave that next drink, feel like a failure, and sometimes you wonder who you’ve become. You are sick of this cycle with alcohol and you wish you could get your drinking under control. Girl, I see you and I get you! I’m Michelle Porterfield, a Stop Over Drinking and Transormational Results Coach. For so many years I experienced all of this. I was so afraid of what my life would look like alcohol-free. How would I have fun? What would I tell everyone? How would I travel without a drink in my hand? How would I handle stress? I got to a point where I was sick of being stuck. I had tried to stop drinking and I had failed too many times. I made the choice to choose something different – me. It wasn’t easy, it took surrender, daily awareness, new routines, getting honest with myself, and learning to actually feel my emotions instead of stuffing them down… oh…and lots of grace. Friend, it was so worth it. My life was truly transformed on the other side of drinking. And yours can be too. Here‘s the deal: Drinking less is just the first step! I believe that‘s why it can be scary. We know deep down there’s more. Once we see what’s underneath the alcohol, true freedom is found. I am here to help you do just that. So if you’re ready to get out of the daily cycle that leads you to drink, learn why you do the things you do and how to change them, calm your anxiety, cultivate healthy relationships, love and value yourself again, reignite your faith, and create a life of fulfillment. Then now is your time Sister! Let’s do this.

In this episode, Michelle discusses the common struggle with feelings of guilt and how it can weigh us down and keep us stuck. However, through embracing God's grace, we can find freedom. Michelle shares her own journey with overcoming guilt and offers tools to help listeners do the same. Key Points:
- Guilt is a normal human experience but doesn't have to control our lives
- The first step is becoming aware of thoughts and actions not aligned with God
- We bring our guilt to God through confession, asking forgiveness, and releasing it to Him
- God's grace provides forgiveness and makes us clean through Jesus' sacrifice
- With God's help and community, we can learn from mistakes and grow
- Our identity is found in Christ, not past failures or shame
Action Steps:
- Reflect on areas of life where you feel guilt
- Have an honest conversation with God and release guilt to Him
- Seek out community for support through the process
- Commit to growth and living in freedom found through God's grace

Friends, today's episode was all about the natural ebb and flow of relationships over time. I shared personal experiences with seasonal friendships - connections that were deeply meaningful for a season of life but have since run their course as our lives evolved. Ending a friendship can stir up a whole host of emotions. But normalizing this experience helps reduce shame or confusion. I hope hearing me validate the grieving process provides comfort if you've recently experienced a friendship fading. We discussed tools like journaling, seeking support, and protecting your wellbeing on social media during this transition. If you're navigating challenging emotions around a changing or ending friendship, I'm here to help. My Stop Over Drinking Roadmap offers faith-based coaching and community to work through life's difficulties with grace. You don't have to walk through seasons alone. Listen to today's episode for perspective on how each relationship contributes to our growth.

Hey ladies,
In the episode, I talked about my own journey navigating vacations and summers without alcohol after choosing to stop drinking.
I know so many women struggle with boredom, triggers, and lack of alternatives when the warm weather hits.
That's why I'm launching the "Summer Support Sisterhood" - a 9-week program starting June 3rd to help guide you through vacation or regular weeks at home without drinking. We'll meet weekly on Zoom to check-in, share victories, get prayer and support. You'll also get full access to my Stop Overdrinking Roadmap with exercises to create new routines and understand your emotions. And I'll be there to help you customize a game plan for any social pressures or situations that come up.
I truly believe that with community, accountability and visualization of your goals, you have the power to enjoy this summer fully present and at peace. If you've been thinking about cutting back on alcohol, I hope you'll join me.

I'm excited to tell you more about the Summer Support Sisterhood program I've created to help you stop drinking this summer and make it your best one yet.
This 9-week program starting in early June will give you a community to rely on for encouragement, accountability, and answering your specific questions. Each Monday night at 8pm we'll meet on Zoom to check in, share our experiences over the past week, and set new intentions for the coming days.
Whether you just want to listen in the background or actively participate, showing up each week will help hold you accountable to your goals. And don't worry if you slip up - that's what we're here for, to learn from mistakes and keep moving forward together.
I know firsthand how hard it can be to stay sober through summer temptations alone. But with each other's love and support, I truly believe we can make a difference for one another.
If you're ready to commit to this journey, please email me at Michelle@setfreesisterhood.com to be added to the enrollment list.
Spots are limited and will be filled on a first come, first served basis starting the week of Memorial Sunday. I can't wait to get to know you and help you through this.
