The holidays are officially here—which means family gatherings, food comas, unpredictable emotions… and a whole lot of drinking pressure. In this episode, Matt & Coach Amy get real about navigating holiday events alcohol-free, especially when you’re surrounded by people who expect you to drink with them.

They share exactly what to say when someone offers you a drink, how to respond to the “just have one!” comments, and how to set boundaries without causing drama. You’ll learn how to leave early without guilt, how to camouflage your AF choices if you want to fly under the radar, and why planning what you’ll drink is the #1 holiday success hack.

This week on The Alcohol Free Marriage & More Podcast, we talk about why you don’t have a willpower problem, you have a nervous system problem. We dive into how stress, overstimulation, and chronic survival mode keep us reaching for quick fixes like alcohol, and how true peace comes from regulating the body and trusting God. We also share our first tailgate in five years, Sober October insights (1 in 4 Americans are joining!), and why obedience, not more self-control, creates real transformation. Tune in for practical ways to calm your nervous system, restore peace, and choose freedom over escape.
