Listen for free

Are you a woman in midlife and beyond who wants to live alcohol-free? Are you ready to focus on building a better relationship with yourself instead of with alcohol, and could you use some encouragement along the way? I'm Lori Massicot, The Midlife Sobriety Coach, and I'm here to support you every step of the way! I started drinking at 14 and made the tough decision to quit at 45. I understand the challenges you face in early sobriety and in maintaining an alcohol-free lifestyle. In 2018, I created the To 50 and Beyond podcast to raise awareness about the option of living alcohol-free later in life. My mission is to provide practical solutions, along with plenty of love and support, so you never feel alone. This podcast is the resource I wished I had when I decided to stop drinking on August 11, 2013. With over 300 episodes and half a million downloads, To 50 and Beyond has touched the hearts of women worldwide who are discovering that they don't have to keep drinking. What a relief! In each episode, you'll find practical solutions, inspiring stories, and insights from expert guests to help you navigate midlife and sobriety.

    In my final episode, I want to share a little backstory into where I am at this stage of my life and business, where I'm going, and respond to some of my listeners topics they shared. I think it will be helpful for women who are working on living alcohol-free in midlife and beyond.

    Thank you for listening and supporting the podcast since 2018.

    I'm giving you a big virutal hug (forgot to do this in the episode).

    You ROCK!

  • What I've Learned About Missing Drinking Alcohol at 12 Years Sober
    May 20 2026

    Episode #357

    Hey there!

    I'm glad you're here.

    If you miss drinking alcohol, you are not the only one.

    In this episode, I share what missing drinking in my first year felt like, why the six-month mark is a time to really care for yourself, and what missing drinking alcohol truly is for me.

    It's not about alcohol. It's about nostalgia and youth more than anything.

    You'll walk away from this episode knowing you are not alone, that missing alcohol is valid, that you can miss it and stay alcohol-free, and that what you do with that feeling is what matters.

    Thank you for listening.

    Peace.
