Why “Just One Glass” Isn’t Helping You Unwind (And What Will)
Jun 17, 2025
You’ve had one of those days—work stress, hot flushes, maybe a teary call from your teenager. You pour a glass of wine. You’ve earned it, right?
But here’s the thing no one tells us: that “one glass” isn’t helping you unwind. It’s keeping you stuck.
For midlife women, alcohol doesn’t soothe. It spikes cortisol (your stress hormone), messes with sleep, fuels anxiety, and leaves you waking up at 3am staring at the ceiling wondering, “What is wrong with me?”
(Answer: absolutely nothing. You're just caught in a cycle designed to keep you coming back for more.)
This is called grey area drinking—the space between social sipping and physical addiction. You’re not hitting rock bottom. But you’re not thriving either.
Here’s the truth: You deserve more than survival mode. You deserve clarity, calm, and confidence.
