You poured the wine before you decided to.
You opened the bag before you noticed.
Every night, the same.
No rock bottom, no big crash, just the same tired script on repeat and a feeling you can't shake at 3am.
I built the quiet way through, and it doesn't involve a single meeting.

you know this feeling
You crushed the workout. Ate the salad. Ran the meeting. Answered the emails nobody else wanted to deal with.
Then the door closed.
The pour. The bag you don't remember opening. Eating standing up, fast, barely tasting it. The mystery wrappers in the bin the next morning. Counting the bottles you hid, even from yourself.
The 3am wake-up, sweating, heart racing, every shame-soaked regret lined up and waiting. Again.
Nobody sees this part, because you looked fine the whole time.
You've tried everything, and none of it was built for you.
The sobriety world feels like it's for someone else, someone louder, someone worse, someone with a rock bottom story you don't have. Yet.
The diet world made the food thing worse. Intuitive eating backfired, because you've been numbing your intuition for years. Your doctor said your numbers are average for your age and moved on.
Your therapist said everyone in your zip code drinks like you do and dropped the subject.
You stayed where you are. Not because you didn't try.
Because every room you walked into was built for a different person.
Here's the part nobody told you.
The wine and the food are not two completely separate habits.
They're one pattern. The same nervous system, reaching for the same relief, at the same hour, wearing two different outfits.
Fix one alone and the other gets louder, because you never touched the thing sitting underneath both.
You are not weak, and you are not broken. You're running a nervous system that learned to reach for the fastest available relief, and it's very good at its job.
the old way vs. the new way
Every plan you've tried started by taking something away. Cut the wine. Cut the sugar.
Cut the one thing carrying you through hard evenings, at the exact moment your willpower is already spent.
That's not a character flaw. That's a design flaw in the plan. The method that works runs the opposite direction.
THE OLD WAY:
✗ Willpower and white-knuckling
✗ Take it away first
✗ Deprivation, then the rebound
✗ One slip ends it
✗ Meetings, labels, saying your name out loud
✗ The same generic PDF as everyone else
THE add-first WAY:
✓ A nervous system that stops asking for the pour
✓ Add the inputs that make the reaching unnecessary
✓ Small, repeatable moves that stick
✓ Slips are data, you keep going
✓ Private, at your own kitchen table
✓ A plan built for you, that lasts for life

I KNOW THIS works BECAUSE I WAS YOU
I spent decades thinking I was crazy. Broken in some specific way that nobody else could understand.
I'd hold it together all day, crushing most days really well. Gym. Running meetings. Mentoring others.
Then an hour after I got home, I'd already be buzzed. Empty wine bottle on the counter. Family-size bag of chips gone. Climbing the cabinets, unsteady, to reach the stale chocolate chips shoved in the back of the top shelf. If you know that particular reach, you know exactly what I mean.
Then the sweaty 3am wake-up. Praying the neighbors hadn't seen. Praying I'd remembered to walk my dog.
I knew something was very wrong.
Hi, I'm Jacquie. That was me. I looked like I had it all together, in every room that mattered. Then I got home and turned into someone entirely different.
Nobody knew. My doctor said my numbers were average for my age and moved on. My therapist said everyone in my zip code drank the way I did and dropped the subject. I never hit a rock bottom anyone would recognize.
I tried everything I could find for decades. Books, podcasts, apps. Dry January. Sober October. Meetings. Every diet. Intuitive eating. Counting macros. Carbs banned from the house. New rules every Monday, broken by Thursday.
None of it worked, because none of it was built for someone like me.
Ready to give up, I remembered who I was. Someone who made million-dollar decisions for a living. Someone who had studied addiction for years, on my own. I decided to look at my own problem the way I'd look at any business problem. Instead of stripping things away, which only made me binge harder by the end of the day, I added a few things first. Things started to click, and I kept building from there.
After decades of binge eating and drinking too much, I finally quit. Both. At 54. I've been alcohol-free since Christmas Eve 2017, and I haven't gone back to the nightly cycle since.
Once I found my way out, I couldn't unknow it. I trained as a Health, Nutrition, and Life Coach so I could hand this to other people the right way, not just wing it from my own story.
If you can relate to any of this, there's something I need you to know. This was never a willpower problem. You have plenty of willpower. You've been spending it all day.
Now I help people break their own cycle the way I broke mine. Quietly. Privately. For good. Not as a therapist reading from a manual. Not as a 25-year-old influencer selling a reset. As someone who sat exactly where you're sitting and found the way out.
I'm here to show you how to do the same.
WHAT'S INSIDE
The complete Add-First Method, in self-paced video you work through privately, on your own schedule. Every lesson ends with one short writing prompt you answer in your own words.
No worksheets. No flowery PDFs to print and lose. Nothing to burn through your printer ink on. Just the method, and one honest prompt at a time that builds into a plan you actually keep.
Here's the path.
MODULE 1:
See Your Spiral Clearly
The biology of why willpower quits on you at 7pm, and a map of your own specific spiral. You leave knowing this was never a character flaw, and the shame starts to lift.
MODULE 2:
Become the Person Who Doesn't Need It
You quit quitting and stop the war with yourself, then get clear on who you're becoming. The alcohol and food stop fitting that person on their own, no rules required.
MODULE 3:
Build Your Add-First Plan
The heart of it. You add the things that make the reaching start to feel unnecessary, and write your own one-page plan. You leave with an evening self that's no longer running on empty.
MODULE 4:
Design the Life Around It
You set up your home, your evenings, and your hard nights so the right choice is the easy one. The full eating work happens here, and you set your private quit date, on your timeline, yours alone.
MODULE 5:
Make It Last
The part nobody else teaches. How to ride the emotional waves that surface, the 90-Second Rule for when a craving hits, and how to count the trend so a hard night never wipes out your progress.
17 lessons across 5 modules.
Watch on any device, as many times as you need.
Lifetime access.
WHAT YOU WALK AWAY WITH:
Most programs hand everyone the same generic PDF. The one you download, skim once, and never open again. Good for a few weeks, forgotten by the next month. Short-term, and a waste of your money.
This is different. Together, we build a plan that's yours alone. The same kind of personalized plan my private clients pay thousands for, made for your life, your triggers, your evenings, not anyone else's.
It's the map you keep for good. Not a 30-day fix. A plan for the nights that used to take you down:
✓ The party where you're counting everyone else's drinks so that you feel normal
✓ The vacation where you swore it didn't count and paid for it anyway
✓ The wedding whose ending you can’t remember
✓ The week from hell when the wine felt earned
✓ The ordinary Tuesday when you reached without a second thought
Your foods, your evenings, your triggers, your private quit date, all mapped out and yours to keep.
You walk away with something that no other program gives you: a plan built around your actual life, that works as well years from now as it does your first week.
Not a quick fix. A life skill.

The personal plan my private clients pay thousands for, built for you.
I built this method for myself first, back when nothing out there fit the person I actually was.
Then I spent years refining it one-on-one with private coaching clients.
This course is the distilled result.
The tools they reach for again and again.
The pieces that move the needle fastest.
The parts they tell me they wish they'd had from the very beginning. All of it is in here.
This isn't something I just hand you. We shape it around your life, and it's yours to keep.
Working with me privately runs $2,500 for eight weeks, and I keep that client list small on purpose.
I could keep this method locked behind that. I don't want to.
I want it to reach the people quietly stuck in this spiral who are never going to book a coaching package, who just need the method, in their own home, on their own terms.
I'm not here to build the biggest funnel on the internet.
I'm here to hand you the thing I wish someone had handed me.
The hard truth about moderation that i didn’t want to believe
For years I was convinced I was the exception. Spoiler alert: I'm not.
I was successful everywhere else in my life. Up at 5am. Crushing the workout. Getting promoted.
When the sobriety gurus said there's no ‘third door’, that past a certain point you can't get moderation back, you only get two doors, drink or don't, I was sure it didn't apply to me.
I used to drink moderately. Everyone around me seemed to. If they could, then I, the high achiever who could will herself to do almost anything else, certainly could too.
I wasted far too many years thinking this way.
The negotiating. The counting. The math I woke up doing every single morning. Can I drink tonight? Is today a drinking-approved day? Can I swap days? If I'm taking Friday off, does that make Thursday a weekend night?
I was always sure moderation was just within reach, always watching it slide back to the daily drinking. I lost decades and a lot of self-worth chasing this myth.
The day I finally accepted that moderation was not on the table for me, not anymore, not at this point in my drinking history, was a truly terrible day. I felt defeated. I cried myself to sleep.
Then I woke up, and a weight I'd carried for years was gone. The decision was made, so the math stopped. No more wondering, calculating, bargaining. I cannot tell you how much time and energy that freed up.
It completely shocked me.
I felt free. Sad at first, but free. The sadness left. The freedom only grew. Then came the joy.
This course is not a moderation program.
Not because moderation is forbidden, but because for people like us, it is the exhausting, impossible thing, not the freeing one.
I'll walk you toward putting it down on your own terms, your own private quit date, in a way that feels less like loss and more like that weight finally lifting and true freedom arriving.

TRY IT FOR 30 DAYS, RISK-FREE
I know exactly what it's like to spend money on the thing that was finally going to work, then watch it circle the drain while I went right back to the wine and the binge eating.
Here's my promise. Enroll, and do the work through Part 3, where you write your Add-First plan. If nothing has shifted, email me within 30 days and I'll refund every dollar. No hoops, no interrogation.
The only thing I ask is that you show up for yourself and put in the time. This method works. I've watched it work, over and over. Invest your time in the work, and I'm convinced you won't need to ask for a refund.
QUESTIONS PEOPLE ASK BEFORE THEY ENROLL:
Is $997 worth it for a course?
1
The same method one-on-one with me is $2,500. This is the full program, self-paced and yours for life, at a fraction of that. Weigh it against what another year in the spiral costs you.
I've tried everything. What makes this actually different?
2
Everything you tried started by taking something away, didn’t it? This starts by adding. It also treats the alcohol and the emotional eating as one pattern, in the right order, instead of two separate battles you were always going to lose. Studies have proven that treating these two challenges together increases rate of success exponentially.
Will this work for someone like me?
3
If you look fine on the outside and come undone at night, this was built exactly for you. It doesn't require a rock bottom, a diagnosis, or a story that fits a label.
Is this about the drinking or the eating?
4
Both. Together. That's the exact point of this program. We address alcohol first, because when the drinking eases the eating gets easier, and the eating work is woven through the course from the start.
Do I have to give up alcohol completely?
5
The course moves toward an alcohol-free life, and there's a point where you set your own private quit date. You choose it. You choose the timing. You get there by adding first, not by white-knuckling from day one. This is not a moderation program, and the section above on why moderation stopped working for me explains exactly why.
Completely. There are no meetings, no group calls, no cameras. You go through all of it on your own, and you decide who you share it with. It was built to be 100% private by design because that’s what my clients want.
6
How private is this?
I’ve been there. Many times. I’m here to tell you now that a slip is data, not failure. You'll count the trend instead of the streak, so one hard night never undoes your progress. Around here, it’s not about how many times you fall, it’s about how many times you get back up.
7
What if I slip?
What if I do the work and it doesn't help?
8
Then I don't want your money. Do the work through Part 3, and if nothing has shifted, email me within 30 days for a full refund.
ONE LAST THING
You've spent enough nights promising yourself that tomorrow is different.
Tomorrow can be different. Not because you finally found more willpower, but because you finally stopped needing it.
The pour was never the problem. It was the fastest answer you had. Let me show you a better one.
