From 60 Drinks a Month to 6: Author Susan Keller on Moderation, Healing, and Finding Freedom
What happens when a public health expert, medical writer, and cancer survivor decides to rethink her relationship with alcohol? Meet Susan Keller, author of Blood Brother and Mostly Sober, who shares how she and her husband cut back from 60 drinks a month to just 6–8 — and never looked back.
In this episode, we dig into:
✨ The science + soul behind Susan’s shift toward moderation
✨ How inner child work and therapy play a role in healing
✨ Why NA rituals (hello, Giesen Sauvignon Blanc!) are game-changers
✨ The pushback + misconceptions about moderation
✨ The ripple effect moderation can have across generations
If you’ve ever wondered whether you have to quit drinking entirely to feel better, this convo will blow your mind. Susan proves that you can ditch the shame, keep the rituals, and reclaim your life with less alcohol — and way more joy.
