Take a Break from Drinking

458: When Delaying a Drink Doesn't Work (And Why That's Good News)


Listen Later

Have you ever tried delaying a drink only to feel your desire get stronger?

Instead of watching the urge fade, you find yourself staring at the clock, counting down the minutes, convinced you'll drink the second the timer goes off. If that's happened to you, it doesn't mean the delay failed. It means something important just surfaced.

Listen in this week to hear why delaying a drink can sometimes intensify the urge and why that's actually good news. You'll also learn how to move beyond surface-level desire, and how to use delay to reveal the deeper pattern underneath.
