You've tried drinking less. You just can't seem to make it stick.

That's not a willpower problem. That's a missing tools problem. And it's exactly what I help women fix — without labels, rules, or quitting forever.

No rock bottom required. No labels. Just a SMART way forward, starting tonight.

Can you relate?

That nightly glass of wine to take the edge off has become 2-3 glasses or more?
You look forward to wine o'clock a little too much?
You've tried to cut back, and you can for a while, but then you overdo it again?
You're waking up at 3am anxious, replaying the night before, promising tomorrow will be different.
You don't think you're an "alcoholic" — but you know something feels off.
Alcohol isn't ruining your life — but it's quietly taking something from it.

If you're nodding, you are in the right place. And you don't have to figure this out alone.

You might be thinking...

I drink just like all of my friends...some people drink more than me and they seem fine...am I overreacting?

Maybe the question isn't is it bad enough to change, but is it good enough to stay the same?

Is waking up at 3 am dehydrated, full of anxiety thinking "I overdid it again!" good enough?
Is missing your workout and feeling like crap all day good enough?
Is not performing as well as you could at work due to foggy brain good enough?
Is not quite remembering what you said or who you texted last night, good enough?
Is the constant back-and-forth in your head about alcohol good enough?
Is feeling less present with the people you love most good enough?

You don't need a rock bottom reason to want something different for yourself.

Susan Larkin | Alcohol Freedom Life Coach

I'm Susan Larkin — and I was exactly where you are now.

From the outside, my life looked perfectly fine. Good marriage. Lovely family. A successful career. But many evenings I was counting down the hours to that first glass of wine. I made rules and broke them. I woke up at 3am replaying the night before. I spent far more mental energy managing my drinking than I care to admit.

I wasn't at rock bottom. Not even close. But I wasn't free either.

I was a "gray area drinker" living an increasingly gray life.

What I eventually learned — and what changed everything — is that this had nothing to do with my character or my willpower. It had to do with my brain, my nervous system, and habits I'd built without ever meaning to. Once I understood that, the shame lifted. And once the shame lifted, everything became possible.

Today I'm a double-certified alcohol freedom coach, and I work with women in the gray area — that space between "everything is fine" and "rock bottom" — using a brain-based, education-first, judgment-free approach. No labels. No rules. No "you have to quit forever."

Just clarity, tools, and someone who genuinely gets it.

The biggest benefit of having a coach was having a person to go to each week to hold myself accountable and someone that "gets it" - Jenn

Here's what women say about working with together:

Hollie

I didn’t really think it was possible to ever be able to remove my desire for alcohol. Susan was able to help me not only achieve that but also challenge me to find and become the authentic person I wanted to be.

She believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself. She taught me how to find new and healthy ways to care for myself and to nurture that girl I had disconnected from.

Many times I would come to Susan overwhelmed or with unmet expectations in my life and she would come through with inventive and unique approaches to helping me deal with these. She proved herself invaluable to me.

Jayne

Working with Susan on a weekly basis was the accountability that I needed in order to see change.

Susan’s approach was exactly what I was looking for in a coach. She was thorough and had the tools to help me get through any challenges I faced.

Our sessions were collaborative and focused on the importance of unpacking issues I was working on.

Her compassionate and empathetic approach allowed me to be vulnerable and 100% me.

I will be forever grateful for this 1:1 coaching experience with Susan, it feels like only the beginning of a beautiful new way of living!

Anne

I’ve been working with Susan Larkin for the past year. I’ve benefited hugely from our sessions. She frequently reminds me of how far I’ve come, which is very motivating. She’s also a great listener with a gift for understanding when to help me to challenge my thinking.

When my motivation was flagging, Susan didn’t hesitate to give me pep talks on why giving up alcohol can be the key to greater life satisfaction and fulfillment. I left those sessions with a renewed sense of purpose and inspiration. She’s been great to work with and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a coach.
