Six weeks of coaching and community to kick-start your 2025 alcohol-free!
Today we are joined by bestselling author William Porter, creator of Alcohol Explained, to break down the 8 Hurdles of Stopping Drinking. Drawing from his extensive research and personal experience, Porter offers invaluable advice for navigating the often-challenging path to sobriety.
In this episode, we explore critical hurdles such as:
Understanding and overcoming cravings
Navigating social events without alcohol
Developing effective coping mechanisms
Finding joy and motivation through movement
Recognizing the impact of alcohol on ambition
The discussion also touches on the psychological barriers to sobriety, including the idolization of alcohol, the concept of fading effect bias (where memories of drinking are romanticized over time), and how to reframe your mindset through gratitude and a realistic understanding of alcohol's effects.
Porter emphasizes the importance of confidence and resilience as the final and often most significant hurdle, equipping listeners with strategies to build a sustainable, alcohol-free life.
This episode is packed with practical advice, powerful truths, and hope for anyone striving to break free from alcohol’s grip. Whether you’re just beginning your journey or are further along the path, Porter's insights provide encouragement and clarity for overcoming these hurdles.
