Take a Break from Drinking

451: The Identity Shift That Comes Before Drinking Less [Listener Q&A]


Listen Later

Do you have a strong desire to change your drinking and yet, you're not where you want to be?

In this episode, I'm answering a question from a listener named Chris who's frustrated that he's still drinking more than he wants to, despite trying to make healthier choices. He's switched from hard liquor to premixed cans and is concerned about what his daily drinking is doing to his health.

Tune in this week to hear how Chris's question speaks to so many things people are thinking about in the new year: the identity shift that comes with trying to drink less, the anxiety about how drinking may be impacting your health, and the frustration that despite so much effort, you're not where you want to be.
