About The Catholic Sobriety Podcast

Welcome to The Catholic Sobriety Podcast. I'm Christie Walker — Catholic sobriety coach, content creator, and woman who has lived alcohol free for nearly 30 years. This podcast is for the Catholic woman who is disciplined, faithful, and quietly negotiating with a glass of wine every night. You don't think you're an alcoholic. You're not sure there's even a "problem." But something in you knows this habit is costing you more than you're willing to admit — and that the gap between who you are in Christ and who you are at 9pm is getting harder to ignore. We go deep here. Faith, neuroscience, identity, inner healing. Because what looks like a drinking habit is almost always something bigger — and God is usually in the middle of it, waiting. Ready to find out who you are without it? Start listening.

   Ep 190: Why So Many Catholics Are Rethinking Their Drinking: New Gallup Data

   Fewer Americans are drinking than at any point since Gallup started asking in 1939, and Catholics are one of the biggest reasons why. Restaurants that used to offer an O’Doul’s and a Shirley Temple now have full zero-proof menus. Celebrities, authors, and everyday women are talking openly about cutting back or quitting. So what’s going on? And if the culture is finally questioning alcohol, why is the evening glass of wine still so hard to put down? In this episode, Christie walks through the ...

   Ep 189: The Idols We Don't Recognize: Disordered Attachments and Hearing God's Voice | with Kylie Hein

   Most of us could name our vices in five seconds. What we can't name as easily are the things we've quietly built our days around: the glass of wine at 5:30, the scroll before bed, the snack that takes the edge off, the productivity that makes us feel worth something. They don't look like idols. They look like rest. In this episode, I welcome back Kylie Hein, Catholic coach, spiritual director, and host of the Persistence in Prayer podcast, to talk about disordered attachments. We talk about h...
