It's Not About the Alcohol

Alcohol is not the problem--plus free discovery call with me


Listen Later

I was afraid of sobriety. Because I knew alcohol was just a distraction. I was mostly drinking to cope with an unhappy marriage. A stagnant career. I was bored with friendships that had run their course. My kids were leaving the nest and I didn’t know what to do with myself or my time.

I didn’t know how to be alone.

It felt good to quit alcohol. But sobriety didn’t solve my problems. And it felt really childish to define myself by how much I do or don’t drink.

Are you struggling with the all-or-nothing approach? Are you sick of trying to cure over-indulgence with self-deprivation? Do you shame yourself into good behavior—only to fail backwards after you reach the goal?

The SECRET to breaking the cycle of self-defeat is to learn how to interpret and process your emotions. Because anxiety and depression and loneliness and boredom are feelings—not facts. I can teach you how to manage your mind so that you can get out of your own way. And finally figure out what you really need and want.
