At this point, you know better than to beat yourself up. But how do you stay positive and focus on the wins when you keep waking up hungover?

It's a mistake to think that drinking less requires more willpower. Because you're assuming that you actually enjoy getting drunk.

But if you printed out a transcript of all the thoughts you have both before and during the time you spend drinking, you would see a lot of evidence that you don't actually want to be doing what you're doing.

What if you started paying more attention to those subtle internal cues that are inviting you to change?

In this episode, I share how I recently found myself on that shameful slippery slope. And what I learned from my own guilt and frustration that led me to create a brand new, easy to implement strategy that will instantly improve your motivation to do better next time and confidence that changing your drinking habits will be easier than you think.
