E18: Dealing With Alcohol Cravings and Triggers
In this episode, we explore different ways to cope with alcohol cravings and triggers. We've invited Keith, Summer, and Melissa to share their experiences and wisdom, which includes developing mental strength, exercising self compassion, and eating ALL the junk food. We talk about learning how to lean on others to get through the hard times, allowing ourselves to just be uncomfortable sometimes, and we also learn how to check in with ourselves and ask, "What is my body actually needing right now?" Because if we find healthy ways to meet our needs, we won't feel so compelled to use alcohol.
Alcohol cravings are our body telling it that it needs something. Our job is to figure out what it needs.
Other topics we explore in this episode include:
Breaking routines
Learning to sit with cravings instead of acting on them
Staying mindful
Recognizing our danger zones and learning to ask for help
Building relationships with others so we have support
Playing the tape forward
Embracing ourselves as we are; self compassion
Developing tools and coping mechanisms
Learning new ways to respond to feelings
