5 Hidden Patterns That Keep You Drinking


Listen Later

You don’t drink because you’re weak. You drink because you’ve been stuck in patterns no one ever taught you how to recognize.
In this powerful solo episode, I’m walking you through five emotional patterns that quietly sabotage your sobriety—even if you’ve quit drinking before, even if you think you “should have this figured out by now.” These patterns are subtle, but they run deep… and they’re often the very reason women end up back at Day One.
So if you’ve ever asked yourself:
“Why do I keep doing this when I know better?”
“Why does it feel impossible to stop?”
“Why do I start strong and then fall right back into old habits?”
This episode is for you.
Here’s what we’re covering:
✅ The “Peacekeeper Pattern” (a.k.a. people-pleasing and emotional burnout)✅ Why escape isn’t about alcohol—it’s about unprocessed pain✅ How perfectionism, control, and identity confusion are fueling the cycle✅ The exact thoughts these patterns whisper to keep you stuck✅ Journal prompts to help you break the loop and move forward for good
💬 I’ll walk you through each pattern, what it sounds like, how it hijacks your thinking—and how to start taking your power back, one decision at a time.
🎧 Tune in if:
You’re tired of starting over and want real tools to make this stick
You feel like you’re doing “okay” on the outside but still struggling in secret
You’re ready to stop half-assing sobriety and start healing for real
 
✨ Ready to stop spinning your wheels?
