Take a Break from Drinking

418: Numbing the Noise Won't Work


Listen Later

Have you ever felt so overwhelmed by your emotions that you'd do anything to forget what's bothering you?

In those moments, reaching for a drink—and then another, and another—can feel like the only way to escape. But this pattern of using alcohol to numb difficult emotions creates a problematic cycle that actually decreases your emotional resilience over time.

Tune in this week to learn about one of the most common patterns that makes it difficult to change your drinking habits: the Escape archetype, and three strategies that will help you work with your emotions rather than trying to drown them.

Find a personalized approach that helps you change your habit in my new book, The Ultimate Guide to Drinking Less, here: https://rachelhart.com/guide/
