There’s a moment I hear from women all the time:
“I told myself I wasn’t going to drink tonight… and then I did.”
Maybe you’ve had that conversation with yourself more times than you’d like to admit.
You wake up determined.
You make a promise.
You tell yourself, Tonight will be different.
And then 5:00 rolls around.
You’re tired. Overwhelmed. Bored. Stressed. Lonely. Frustrated.
And suddenly that drink sounds really good.
Then comes the guilt.
Why did I do that again?
What is wrong with me?
Why can’t I just control this?
But what if the problem isn’t that you need more willpower?
What if there’s actually something underneath the drinking that you haven’t learned how to address yet?
That’s what I’m diving into on this week’s episode of the Set Free Sisterhood Podcast:
Why Do I Keep Drinking Even Though I Said I Wouldn’t? 5 Hidden Reasons You Drink
I’m breaking down the five hidden reasons that can keep you reaching for alcohol even when you genuinely want to stop.
And this episode is just the beginning.
Over the next six weeks, I’m going deeper into each of these reasons because I want you to start seeing your drinking differently.
Not through shame.
Not through “I should be better than this.”
But through curiosity, understanding, and real change.
And if you're listening and thinking, “Michelle, I know I need more support with this,” I have something coming.
The Set Free Sisterhood Collective is a 12-week coaching experience for Christian women who are ready to stop over-drinking, understand what's really driving it, and create a life they don't need to escape from.
We start September 30th, 2026, and enrollment is coming soon.
If you want to be the first to know when enrollment opens, simply reply to this email with COLLECTIVE and I'll add you to the list.
You don't have to keep having the same conversation with yourself.
Let's get underneath it.
Michelle
