Alcohol triggers - what you need to know

24/08/2021Present and Sober Podcast Episode 12What you need to know about alcohol triggers 
We're surrounded by alcohol. It's in the supermarket, down every street, and at (almost) every party - and this can be scary. It can make us feel like we're walking into a sea of triggers and potentially - cravings. But this alcohol-free journey is all about making life bigger, not smaller, right? And we can't constantly alter the world 'out there' to make ourselves comfortable. But we can upgrade our understanding and learn tools and tactics to help us move through and beyond triggers. Come and join us for episode 12 of the Present and Sober podcast where we talk about how to do just that. 
What you will learn in this episode:
  • How Ellie's drinking had everything to do with her bush (don't miss this one) (15.00)
  • How dopamine affects triggers (10.00+)
  • Why you were never able to just 'stop at one' (or 3 or 4) (34.00)
  • Tools and tactics for triggers (duck mode, play it forward, anchoring) (42.00+)
