This is a special throwback episode that was originally released on June 30, 2021. I wanted to re-release it because it is so helpful for understanding our brain and why we drink even when we logically know we don’t want to. 
YOU are normal and your brain is doing exactly what it was made to do! This episode is all about your brain and how it relates to habits and drinking.  
You’ll learn: 

Why it's so hard to quit drinking 
Why we drink more when we tell ourselves to stop  
How this habit of drinking started 
How we can make new habits
