Welcome to Episode 45 of the "Feel Lit Alcohol Free Podcast"! Join hosts Susan Larkin and Ruby Williams as they take you on a transformative journey to alcohol freedom.
This episode, we shine a light on breaking free from the gripping obsession with alcohol. We answer a FB member's question: "Its been 2 years since I’ve quit drinking and I can’t stop thinking about it and starting again. Talking myself into how I can start again and I’m afraid. Mostly sad, will this ever go away? I don’t want to be obsessed either this anymore."
Can you relate? Ruby shares her raw, personal struggle with managing the desire for more, despite setting limits, and reflects on experiences with relapse and shame. How can we shift from feeling powerless to truly alive and in control? Together with Susan and Ruby, we explore the game-changing coaching framework which guides you from dependency to freedom.
Ever wondered how societal norms and hidden beliefs fuel our dependency? We uncover these dynamics, emphasizing the power of shifting from self-criticism to curiosity and self-compassion. Ruby and Susan’s heartfelt stories highlight the importance of viewing setbacks as data points and learning opportunities.
This episode is packed with insights and practical tools—think grounding exercises and emotion-based goals—to help you embrace a healthier, more vibrant life. Ready to uncover your subconscious triggers and create new thought patterns?
