It's Not About the Alcohol

EP172 Here’s why your drinking habits aren’t changing as fast as you want


Listen Later

If the reason you want to drink less is because you’re afraid of future health problems, you’ll likely find it hard to change your habits.

 

Thinking you “should be” drinking less is what makes alcohol use disorder a thinking problem, not a drinking problem.

 

Because if it’s true that you “should be” drinking less, and yet you’re still drinking too much, then something must be wrong. And the more you look for evidence that something is wrong, the more you find, the worse you feel and the harder it gets to keep trying.

 

In this episode, I’ll break down the exact process I teach my clients when they’re not seeing measurable improvements in how much or how often they drink. 

 

You’ll walk away with a clear understanding as to why it is so important to respond to your own drinking habits with self-encouragement and curiosity instead of disappointment and frustration. 

 

Because the only way to stop repeating your drinking mistakes is to start learning from them.
