The Alcohol ReThink Podcast with Patrick Fox

190. Sober Burnout - Recognising the Symptoms & What to do about it


Listen Later

Do you ever feel mentally exhausted from constantly thinking about not drinking?

Like you’re trying so hard to make a change, but instead of making progress, you’re just feeling stuck, frustrated, and overwhelmed?

Maybe you’ve been reading all the books, listening to all the podcasts, and following every sober account out there, but instead of feeling motivated, you just feel drained.

You’ve put so much pressure on yourself to get it right that it’s actually making things harder.

The more you focus on quitting, the more it feels like alcohol is on your mind.

And when progress isn’t happening as fast as you expected, it’s easy to think something is wrong with you.

That’s what I call Sober Burnout, and it’s something I see come up time and time again.

Awesome things I cover in this episode:

- What sober burnout actually is and why it happens, before and after you stop drinking

- How overthinking, consuming too much information, and putting pressure on yourself can actually slow you down

- The comparison trap, and why looking at others who seem to have it all figured out is making things worse

- How to move through sober burnout without the all-or-nothing mindset that keeps so many guys stuck

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, it’s not a sign you’re failing. It’s a sign that you care deeply about changing. But caring alone won’t create change.

Taking small, imperfect steps will.

If you’re tired of thinking about change and want to start experiencing it, this episode is for you.
