If your life is good, why does drinking still feel so hard to figure out?

This can be one of the most confusing experiences with alcohol because it doesn't match the usual story people are told about why drinking becomes a problem. When there's no major crisis or obvious unhappiness, it's easy to wonder what's wrong with you.

Tune in this week to learn why dissatisfaction is a normal part of being human, how avoiding unmet desires can fuel overdrinking, and why the urge often has less to do with alcohol and more to do with your relationship to restriction, deprivation, and wanting. This episode also explores how the drink archetypes reveal the emotional promise alcohol seems to offer and why understanding your relationship to dissatisfaction can change the way you approach drinking entirely.
