From Cravings to Calm with Kristin Horstman

Ever find yourself stuck in the cycle of craving, chaos, and overthinking—wondering if peace is even possible without alcohol? This episode of the Thrive Alcohol Free Podcast is your gentle invitation to explore what healing really looks like… beyond just willpower.

Host Dupe Witherick is joined by the incredible Kristin Horstman—Gray Area Drinking Master Coach, Health Coach, speaker, blogger, ZeroProof Experiences facilitator, and family support advocate. Together, they explore the emotional, physical, and nervous system roots of alcohol cravings—and how small shifts can lead to profound calm.

✨ Inside the episode:

• Why cravings aren’t just “in your head”—and how your body plays a starring role

• The magic of therapy, small-group connection, and being truly seen

• Loving yourself through transition and building nurturing routines

• How nature, puppies, and fresh starts can become unlikely tools for healing
