Olympians don't rely on willpower — they rely on training.

In this episode, Teri Patterson explores how elite athletes approach identity, discipline, recovery, and nervous system regulation — and why those same principles are essential for building a lasting alcohol-free life. Rather than pushing through cravings or "trying harder," alcohol-free living becomes a practice of conditioning the brain and body for safety, consistency, and long-term reward.

This episode reframes discomfort as part of healing, discipline as freedom, and recovery as the place where real transformation happens — offering a powerful new lens for anyone navigating life without alcohol.
