It's Not About the Alcohol

EP169 How to change your all-or-nothing relationship with alcohol with Kathi Rueter of Do Life Big


Listen Later

Does your all-or-nothing attitude towards alcohol make you feel like you have multiple personality disorder?

Thinking you have to choose between partying like a rockstar and staying completely sober triggers a battle between your inner rebel and inner responsible grown up.

You're stuck in hostage negotiations listening to your inner lawyers debate topics like, "is my drinking really that bad?" and "stupid reasons why I can't stop once I start."

The idea of changing feels complicated and hard because it seems to require huge, life altering commitments and epic levels of motivation.

Which means, you are way overthinking this, my friend.

This episode is an interview I did on the Do Life Big podcast with my friend Kathi Reuter. You'll hear the simple mindset shifts that I teach (and use myself) to challenge the all-or-nothing thinking that causes overdrinking so that you can feel happy, healthy and balanced in your brain.
