Aging Flipped with Debi Talbert

Most of your first times with new experiences in your life alcohol free will bring up thoughts leading to uncomfortable emotions and feelings. Know this is an amazing opportunity to create new neural pathways in your brain. 

The more you experience getting through events without drinking, the easier it gets. Eventually, even if you're surrounded by alcohol and people drinking, you'll notice the old thoughts leading to worry won't be there.

• Make a plan - set yourself up for success! Use the If than tactic. If this happens, then I will do this. 
• ​Visualize yourself at the event and how you’ll respond  - see yourself following through with how you want to behave. See yourself responding in a way that is comfortable for you. 
• ​There will always be unknowns 
• ​Have a committed listener on call - someone who knows what you’re doing, that you’re committed to being alcohol-free for the event, and who you can speak with (at the event or by phone). Sometimes we just need to say what we’re feeling and thinking, to someone who’s in our corner.
• ​Leave if you need to! Know where you can go and how you can get there - home, your hotel, a friend's place, etc. You are free to leave and it doesn’t mean anything about you if you choose to.

How often have you told yourself that your drinking isn’t “that bad”

How often have you talked about needing to get a handle on your over drinking but never make the decision to do what it requires to actually do it?

How often have you blown off your goals, telling yourself that you'll start again on Monday?

To me, this is locking yourself in your own prison from the inside because we want to avoid voluntary discomfort.

And by avoiding it, we're actually signing up for the mandatory suffering that's to going to come.

In today's episode, I’m going to share how igniting curiosity is the key to opening the prison door.

It hit me that Halloween is just a few days away. Which means the holiday season is about to begin.

Personally, I think the holiday season is the best, best time to get your ticket and board the transformation flight to alcohol freedom. I know, I know many of you are thinking I’m crazy right about now….

Let me just tell you why I think this is the ideal time to allow yourself to tackle exiting the drinking life inside a program like EXIT & Beyond. All times are actually a perfect time to do it, but I think this is a great time because of all of the holidays that are coming. 

During this pandemic, most people are spending their days at home and many have found themselves over drinking, overeating, and gaining weight. Although more alcohol and food are normal during stressful and overwhelming times, “quarantine” should not be used as an excuse to put keep over drinking. So today I want to discuss how to overcome the defeatist attitude you may be facing and help you push through this coming year healthier and stronger than ever.

Listen in as I share four reasons why you should not wait for your current situation to be over before you tackle exiting the drinking life. You will learn how to combat negative thought patterns and take advantage of opportunities as they come into your life. 

If you are ready to love yourself to a place where you no longer need food or alcohol to get through tough times, this is the episode for you.
