“But alcohol relaxes me!” & Other Lies about Drinking, with Jennifer Salzman
Episode 84. “I don't drink anymore. I haven't had a drink in almost three years, so why do I have to tell the world I'm an alcoholic? I'm a non-drinker, I'm not an alcoholic. I did have an issue with alcohol. I was drinking problematically. They call it Alcohol Use Disorder, but I addressed the problem and I fixed it. I don't drink anymore so how can I continue to call myself powerless over alcohol and addicted to alcohol and I have alcoholism as a disease if I don't drink?”
Jennifer Salzman once considered herself a 'normal' drinker. But as her marriage ended in 2012, she increasingly used alcohol to cope. She tried many times to cut down but consistently ended up drinking more than she wanted to. After struggling with her own unhealthy relationship with alcohol for eight years, Jennifer knew she must make a change, but didn’t like the idea of AA and having to label herself an alcoholic.
Jennifer shares the story of her search for an alternative to AA, and how she found freedom from alcohol through the same science based, compassion led model she now uses in her one-on-one coaching and group coaching programs.
In this episode, Jennifer talks about her work as a certified Alcohol Freedom Life Coach, helping her clients make alcohol small and irrelevant in their lives so they can create a life they don’t want to escape from.

AA teaches you that the problem is you, not the alcohol, whereas Alcohol Freedom Coaching teaches you that the opposite is true.
Jennifer helps clients uncover why they are drinking in the first place and allows them to challenge their beliefs about alcohol and about themselves so that they can stop drinking without willpower and without feeling deprived.
Rather than teaching you how to be ‘sober’ – Jennifer’s coaching methodology takes away the desire to drink. This incredible change can open the door to the life you have been waiting for.
If you are drinking more than you want, it's not your fault, you do not have to call yourself an alcoholic and you are not alone.
