Peggi found alcohol freedom in her 60s and shows us it’s never too late to change your drinking! 

We chat about: 

• How Peggi’s drinking didn’t get “bad” until her 50s 


• How seeing a Facebook ad led to Peggi successfully quitting drinking 


• People in your life not “getting it” and even making excuses for our drinking 


• What we need to know about alcohol addiction later in life 


• How Peggi finds meaning and purpose in her 3rd act of life 


• And more! 

Join me, Peggi and many others for the Sober in the City Seattle event September 6th-8th 2024. I’d love to see you there and meet in real life.
