14 Years Without Alcohol + The Woman I Have Become
In this deeply personal anniversary episode, I reflect on my 14 years alcohol-free.
We are talking about the obstacles that do not always show up in conventional recovery stories: functioning while quietly falling apart, discovering that alcohol was doing a job, learning to feel without immediately escaping, outgrowing rooms and relationships, and realizing that pleasure and peace can feel uncomfortable after years of survival.
We are also talking about the accomplishments: self-trust, curiosity, honest connection, meaningful work, joy, boundaries, community, and the life I built after alcohol stopped being the main character.
The woman I have been forced to become is elite.
And if fourteen years has taught me anything, it is that recovery is not only about avoiding the life you want to escape.
It is about becoming someone who can fully inhabit the life you build.
Thank you to everyone who has helped me, worked with me, trusted me, and allowed me to be part of their journey.
Here’s to 14 years—and to seeing how much better I can get.

Why Women Hesitate to Spend Money on Their Health
Women will spend money on the kids, the house, their parents, vacations, groceries—and, yes, alcohol.
But when it’s time to invest in their own physical or mental health?
Suddenly, we’re accountants.
In this episode of Recovering from Everything, I’m talking about why women often choose the cheapest, least disruptive form of support for themselves—even when their drinking is already costing them money, sleep, confidence, health, and peace.
We’ll explore:
• Why self-neglect can feel responsible
• The psychology of self-sacrifice and self-silencing
• How loss aversion and the status quo keep women stuck
• Why unsupported attempts to cut back damage self-trust
• The difference between being financially responsible and undervaluing your health
• Why doing nothing is never actually free
Watch my FREE Masterclass to learn why rules and willpower haven’t created lasting change—and how motivated women can change their drinking from the inside out:

You're not hooked on alcohol. You're hooked on escaping yourself!
In this feisty episode of Recovering from Everything, Kinga talks about one of the biggest themes inside her women’s programs:
What happens when alcohol stops being the main character… and you’re left alone with yourself?
This episode explores:
• why so many high-functioning women struggle to answer “how are you feeling?”
• emotional disconnection and performance exhaustion
• why women often feel intimidated by quiet nights without alcohol
• how alcohol becomes relief, comfort, permission, and escape
• the “excavation process” of actually getting to know yourself
• hobbies, identity, boredom, rest, resentment, and nervous system overload
• why focusing ONLY on alcohol keeps women stuck
Kinga also talks about:
🍋 perimenopause chaos
🍷 why she’s sick of women obsessing over “rules” around alcohol
🥁 taking up drumming in early sobriety
🪴 her former wine crate turned plant stand
💀 dissociating through busyness and pretending it’s productivity
This episode is honest, funny, psychological, and deeply validating for women who are exhausted from constantly thinking about drinking.
