Most people assume the hardest part of drinking less is saying no to alcohol. But what if that’s not true?

In this episode, I share why the real challenge of changing your drinking habits isn’t about resisting the drink itself—it’s about learning to sit with discomfort without numbing or escaping. I unpack why alcohol feels so essential sometimes, and why the real work is about what comes after you say no. You’ll learn:

  • how habit loops make alcohol feel like the only solution;
  • why removing alcohol can feel so uncomfortable (and what to do about it);
  • why you’re already great at being uncomfortable—and how to use that to your advantage;
  • how to trade the discomfort of staying stuck for the discomfort that moves you forward.

If you’ve ever thought, “I just don’t have enough willpower to say no to a drink,” this episode will change the way you think about drinking—and about yourself.
