4. "Do I Have a Drinking Problem?"
Manage episode 478813462 series 3659589
Wondering if your drinking is a problem? You’re not alone—but maybe you’re asking the wrong question.
In this episode, we unpack the deeply personal (and often confusing) process of evaluating your relationship with alcohol. Instead of fixating only on HOW MUCH you drink or obsessing about labels like “alcoholic,” I’ll help you explore a more useful question:
How do you feel about your current relationship with alcohol?
We’ll talk about:
- why drinking guidelines and comparisons don’t tell the whole story;
- how to look beyond how much you drink and start to examine why you drink;
- the difference between needing and wanting alcohol;
- why you don’t need a label or diagnosis to make a change.
Whether you've googled “Am I an alcoholic?” or you’re just starting to question your habits, this episode will help you take a step toward clarity.
