Take a Break from Drinking

455: The Power of Delaying a Drink


Listen Later

What if changing your drinking didn't have to start with quitting, cutting back, or figuring everything out?

For many people, the hardest part of the habit isn't the drink itself, but the moment the urge shows up and feels impossible to ignore. That pressure can make it seem like change has to be dramatic or all-or-nothing to count.

This week, you'll learn a deceptively simple shift that can interrupt the habit without triggering panic or white-knuckling: delay. Listen in to hear how delaying the drink helps you get off autopilot, especially during the evening witching hour, why creating space between the urge and the action helps your brain learn something new, and why even imperfect attempts still matter.
