Description

It’s 5 p.m. — dinner’s not ready, your brain’s fried, and that little voice whispers, “You deserve a glass of wine.”
Sound familiar? You’re not alone, and you’re not broken.

In this episode, Catholic sobriety coach Christie Walker explains what’s really happening inside your brain during the evening “danger zone.” Discover how dopamine dips trigger cravings, why your body craves relief more than alcohol, and how faith and neuroscience work beautifully together to bring peace instead of pressure.

Christie shares five practical ways to turn “wine hour” into “peace hour,” plus the hope, humor, and holy perspective you need to stay steady when the urge hits.

What You’ll Learn:

  • The science behind evening cravings (dopamine dips + habit loops)
  • Faith-based tools for rewiring your evenings
  • How to change your cue and calm your body
  • Why freedom feels better than relief
