E151: Why Your Attempts to Quit Drinking Aren't Working


Listen Later

There are a lot of different ways to quit drinking and what works for 1 person won’t necessarily work for everyone. I think everyone has tried things that haven’t worked, so in this episode I’m going through some of my experiences. You’ll learn why these methods didn’t work for me and hopefully this will help you make some decisions about the ways you are trying to quit. If you've been trying to quit without success then this episode may give you a better idea of what's been going wrong.


What to listen to next:

E150: 15 moderation strategies I tried to gain control of my drinking

E91: do you want to be sober or do you want to drink without the consequences?

E143: how to stay accountable in your sobriety
