8. Saying No to Alcohol Isn’t the Hardest Part
Manage episode 484130193 series 3659589
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.
